Potential upsides
Great chance to work in a company with a very long history in this space. An excellent opportunity to work independently and own the HR function with potential for future career development to become a local board member or taking on a regional role.
Potential challenges
Working closely with front line employees may bring challenges dealing with local labour issues in this complex, highly matrixed organisation. An individual who is flexible enough to work hands-on with the team while also being a confident liaison to head office will thrive in this role.
