The Role

The Director of Human Resources for EMEA & Asia will be responsible for the HR agenda and team across regions reporting into the VP of HR based in the US, who reports to the CHRO. The role will have a dotted line report to VP EMEAA Operations who will be the sparring partner within the business and the EMEAA leadership team. With a team of four direct reports, and six indirect reports, the role will be responsible for over 500 people across 12 sites.
