Policy Ownership & Expansion Audit and benchmark existing ER policies, identifying opportunities for simplification, clarity, and alignment to our culture, legal standards, and commercial needs. Draft and implement updated and new ER-related policies (conduct, grievances, investigations, performance management, etc.) that are globally consistent but locally adaptable. Build a global ER policy architecture that supports scale, transparency, and ease of application by non-experts. Process Redesign (Including AI Integration) Assess and strengthen Employee Relations case management practices by identifying opportunities where tooling could add value, and designing and embedding effective internal processes, frameworks, and guidance to enable consistent, efficient case management and reporting. Redesign ER processes end-to-end to make them scalable, efficient, data-driven, and globally consistent. Identify opportunities to embed AI in workflows (case intake, document drafting, triage tools, early risk detection, theme identification, etc.) to improve speed, accuracy, and decision consistency. Define governance, controls, and safe use practices for AI supported ER tools in partnership with Legal, Tech, and Compliance. Lead implementation of new systems, workflows, and tooling that modernise the ER experience for People Partners, managers, and employees. Constantly identify friction points and redesign processes that balance compliance with pragmatic, commercially sound outcomes.

Drive consistency and fairness across decisions by supporting calibration, case reviews, and cross team alignment discussions. Serve as the primary escalation point for ER appeals and critical decision reviews. Risk Management & Culture Use ER data, insights, and trends to identify behavioural themes, systemic risks, and opportunities for proactive intervention. Partner with People, Legal, and business leaders to design interventions that strengthen trust, fairness, accountability, and performance discipline. Ensure the ER approach reinforces positive employee experience, organisational values, and an environment where good performance and good conduct are expected and managed consistently. Continuously scan for external developments in ER, AI, legal changes, and people risk-and translate them into actionable improvements at Checkout. About You A minimum of 6 years experience in a dedicated ER role, such as an ER Manager role or ER CoE role. Experience must include designing and implementing ER frameworks, policy and tooling. Proven track record operating in a global business with employees across multiple regions. Proven ability to build policy, processes, and training from scratch or in a rapidly evolving environment. Strong investigative skills and a deep understanding of employment law across multiple regions. Experience integrating AI tools or technology into HR/ER processes (or strong appetite to develop this skill). Excellent communication, coaching, and influencing skills High integrity, sound judgment, discretion, and a balanced, pragmatic approach.
