About the Role
We are seeking a People Director to guide our European business through its next growth phase. This role involves collaborating with the European leadership team to shape the business, enhance leadership capabilities, retain top talent, and ensure our People strategy keeps pace with business evolution. The position will oversee the People team in the UK and Portugal, connecting Europe to Indicium AI’s global strategy and priorities. Success requires a visible, credible leader who can build relationships, influence senior stakeholders, and implement structure effectively.
Responsibilities
- Lead the People strategy across the UK and Portugal, aligned with Europe and global business objectives.
- Help lead Europe through its next stage of scale, anticipating the organisational, leadership and talent capabilities needed as the business grows.
- Connect Europe to the global business, translating global priorities into regional People priorities while representing Europe’s needs in global decisions.
- Build strong, trusted relationships across the business, becoming a credible adviser to leaders on both business and People decisions.
- Strengthen leadership and management capability, coaching leaders through performance, organisational challenges, change and difficult people decisions.
- Build and retain exceptional talent, particularly across our technical and consulting teams, through career development, performance, compensation, succession and workforce planning.
- Support the continued growth of Portugal, ensuring we have the right organisation, leadership, talent practices and culture as the Lisbon team scales.
- Lead, mentor and develop the Europe People team, creating opportunities for the team to grow while maintaining ownership and autonomy.
- Build scalable People practices without over-engineering them, continuously improving core People processes, systems, reporting and ways of working as the organisation grows.
- Lead organisational change and manage People risk, including employee relations and other transformations, balancing employee experience with commercial realities.
Requirements
- 10+ years of progressive People/HR experience, with leadership responsibility and autonomy in a high-growth professional services organisation.
- Ability to work from our office at 100 Liverpool Street in London, UK and travel to Lisbon, Portugal regularly.
- Demonstrated experience helping an organisation navigate a meaningful stage of growth, including evolving its organisational structure, leadership capability and People model as the business scales.
- Strong experience partnering directly with senior executives and the credibility and judgment to influence business and organizational decisions.
- Strong understanding of the dynamics of a professional services organisation, including the relationship between talent, utilisation, capability, client delivery and commercial performance.
- Experience developing and retaining technical or specialist talent, including career frameworks, performance management, succession planning and compensation.
- Proven experience leading, mentoring and developing People professionals.
- Strong experience across organisational design, workforce planning, organisational change and employee relations.
- Experience supporting teams across multiple countries and navigating the balance between global consistency and local requirements.
