Key Responsibilities:

  • Act as the senior escalation point for complex and sensitive employee cases across EMEA.
  • Own cases end-to-end when they cannot be resolved by Level 1 and Level 2 HR teams.
  • Manage escalations across contracts, onboarding, leave, payroll and benefits queries, employee relations, and offboarding.
  • Investigate issues, assess risk, identify root causes, and determine appropriate resolution paths.
  • Support employees and clients through tickets, email, and calls, including sensitive conversations and customer de-escalation.
  • Work closely with Payroll, Operations, Legal, Compliance, Finance, and regional stakeholders to resolve cases.
  • Keep clear and accurate documentation in ticketing and HR systems.
  • Identify recurring issues and document processes and guidance to help prevent the same escalations from happening again.

Key Qualifications:

  • 4–6+ years of experience in HR Operations, Employee Services, Shared Services HR, Employee Relations, EOR, PEO, or a similar environment.
  • Strong multi-country EMEA HR knowledge; experience supporting Spain, Italy, the UK, Germany, and France is highly preferred.
  • Proven experience independently managing complex HR escalations and sensitive employee cases.
  • Solid knowledge of the employee lifecycle, including employment documentation, leave, payroll and benefits, employee relations, and offboarding.
  • Excellent written and spoken English, with the ability to communicate confidently and empathetically with employees and clients.
  • Strong judgment, investigation, problem-solving, and stakeholder-management skills.
  • Experience using ticketing or case-management tools such as Intercom, HubSpot, Zendesk, or similar.
  • Previous EOR, PEO, or global employment experience is highly preferred.
