• Apply working knowledge of employment law and HR compliance considerations across multiple jurisdictions to guide managers and mitigate risk.

• A proven track record advising, coaching, and guiding managers and employees, and being seen as a credible, trusted voice in the room.
• Hands-on, end-to-end recruitment experience.
• The ability to influence and advise business leadership with confidence and clarity, even in ambiguous or sensitive situations.
