About the Role

As EMEA Labor Relations Manager, you'll operate across two dimensions:

- Southern Europe LR depth: Serve as the strategic LR partner for Southern Europe — equipping business leaders and the HR organization with the expertise, frameworks, and counsel needed to navigate day-to-day labor relations matters and local collective requirements.

- Broader EU contribution: Support and contribute to cross-country LR initiatives, change programmes, and capability development across the wider EMEA region, building exposure and expertise beyond your core markets.

Reporting to the EMEA & APJC Labor Relations Leader, you’ll deliver hands-on LR outcomes, contribute to regional strategy development, and ensure that employee trust and business velocity are balanced in your markets. This role requires the ability to operate at both strategic and tactical levels — translating regional direction into local deployment while identifying risks and opportunities that inform broader strategy.

- Provide expert counsel on collective requirements

- Enable HR and business partners to maintain compliance with local labor laws, collective regulations

- Build LR capability within the broader HR community through coaching, knowledge sharing, and framework development

Change Support & Programme Contribution:

- Support complex, multi-country change programmes (restructurings, tool deployments, policy changes) with local expertise

- Contribute to the design and improvement of EMEA-wide LR frameworks, playbooks, and operating models

- Provide the local LR lens on business initiatives, ensuring compliance and trust are built in from Day 1

- Participate in cross-regional projects to build broader EU LR knowledge and capability

- Fluent in written and spoken English (CEFR C1 minimum) and Spanish or Italian (CEFR C2)

Preferred qualifications

- Specialised LR expertise in both Spain and Italy
- Previous exposure to wider EU labor relations frameworks beyond core market (e.g., France, Germany, Nordics)
- Experience operating in a multi-country matrix environment
- MBA, JD, or relevant advanced degree
- Experience with data-driven decision making and LR analytics
- Track record of converting ERB relationships from compliance-driven to trust-driven
