Meet the team:

The Director of Employee Relations & Performance Management is a global people leader with a unique opportunity to build and shape a modern, forward-looking employee relations function at scale. This role will define and stand up global operating practices, establishing consistent, principled approaches to employee relations and performance management that enable both organizational effectiveness and a strong, values-driven culture.

Reporting to the VP of Talent & Development, this leader will set enterprise standards for employee relations, performance management, and workplace practices—balancing fairness, consistency, and compliance with a clear focus on enabling high performance, leadership accountability, and trust. As a key architect of this function, the Director will influence how leaders across the organization approach performance, decision-making, and employee experience.

This role represents an evolution of traditional ER. The Director will lead the integration of Employee Relations and Performance Management into a more proactive, insight-driven capability, moving beyond reactive case management toward anticipating risk, identifying patterns, and addressing root causes before issues escalate. By leveraging data, trends, and organizational insight, this leader will inform policy, strengthen manager capability, and shape organizational practices that drive both performance and culture.

Equally important, this leader will guide the team through this transformation—building capability, evolving mindsets, and establishing new ways of working that position the function as a strategic partner to the business. The outcome is an ER & Performance function that not only manages issues effectively but actively contributes to a healthy, high-performing organization.

• You translate insights into scalable solutions, including policy updates, manager enablement, and organizational interventions
• You design and deliver training to strengthen leader capability in employee relations and performance management
• You build and lead a high-performing global ER team, establishing processes, governance, and scalable ways of working
