HR Business Partner, EMEANew£100K–£135K

The opportunity

Hi! I'm Hannah and I lead the HRBP Team here at Ashby.

What you'll do

  • UK employment expertise: You have deep, hands-on knowledge of UK employment law and practice, including contracts, benefits and pensions, leave, performance and separation processes, and workplace requirements. You know when to partner with external counsel and advisors, and you help us reduce risk while staying true to how Ashby operates.

  • Strategic HR partner: At your core, you build strong relationships with leaders and earn credibility and trust as a strategic partner. You proactively assess team, manager, and company needs, make recommendations, and put solutions in place.

  • People Operations Expertise: You bring broad knowledge of People Ops and HR, including compensation, benefits, performance management, and compliance, and you're happy to roll up your sleeves on projects outside your core remit.

  • Multi-country and entity support: You've supported employees across multiple EMEA countries and understand how working through an entity differs from working through an EOR. You're ready to help as we expand our footprint.

  • Strategic Thinking: You have the ability to translate business objectives into actionable people strategies

  • Strong Communicator: You have excellent written and verbal communication skills. You can effectively convey information to all stakeholders and have the ability to present and facilitate discussions clearly and confidently.

What they're looking for

  • Compensation Expertise: You have experience using compensation market data to develop and maintain competitive, equitable compensation practices, with an understanding of how to apply market data across EMEA and other international regions.
  • Performance Management: You have deep experience building and evolving performance management practices. You are comfortable coaching managers through difficult performance conversations and helping build scalable approaches that align with company culture and operating principles.
  • Training and Development: You have experience building and scaling internal training programs, specifically for management teams. You are comfortable facilitating topics to all levels of employees.
  • Employee Relations & Risk Management: You offer guidance to leaders in managing sensitive employee situations. As needed, you act as a mediator and investigate escalated issues. You stay up to date on legal requirements related to employment and regulatory compliance, partnering with legal counsel as needed to mitigate risk.
