Broadridge Trading & Connectivity Solutions, London, United Kingdom

At Broadridge, we've built a culture where the highest goal is to empower others to accomplish more. If you're passionate about developing your career, while helping others along the way, come join the Broadridge team.

The HR team for Broadridge's International division covers all business units across the UK, Ireland, Continental Europe, and Asia Pacific. HR team members are situated in the UK, Ireland, France, Sweden, Romania, Poland, Philippines, Japan, and Hong Kong.

Our region is a successful growth story and this role will support our growth plans as we scale our organization structure for the future to support both our target markets and our operational centers. You will need good organization design skills to partner our President as we grow the region and implement global growth plans.

Broadridge is very acquisitive and HR supports the due diligence process by reviewing organization and legal entity structure with our legal and finance teams, as well as managing the integration of people, HR processes, and harmonizing compensation and benefits.

This role will work with the International Leadership team on employee engagement issues and drive through projects related to improving and enhancing engagement especially with our acquired companies as they go through the change cycle.

The candidate will coach and support HRBPs and line managers in people management and engagement issues. Plus you will be tasked with improving retention rates where necessary and facilitating talent management initiatives in the Region. This role partners with our North American and Indian HR teams to drive corporate initiatives.

We have a team of Talent Acquisition specialists and the HRBPs work with the recruiters to ensure our selection processes reflect our values and hire for potential. You will partner with US colleagues to lead our global employer branding efforts in the region, emphasizing organizational values and our strong culture.

You will be accountable for our regional DEI efforts and work with our Associate Networks to promote locally appropriate events. We have a wide range of associate networks covering a variety of initiatives with chapters in a variety of our locations. We have a variety of regional L&D programs and the successful candidate will sponsor these activities.

The region also has regional specialists in Global Mobility & Immigration, Compensation and Benefits, and HR Operations. We all work closely together to ensure we support the business in an efficient and effective way. Any experience in these COEs would be valuable. The role is both strategic and hands-on operational - reflecting the wider Broadridge culture.

The person

We are looking for an effective and inclusive leader and team player who can demonstrate their ability to coach and mentor members of the team. You will share our values and be comfortable with matrix management. You will lead a team of approximately 30 across the region and be accountable for the team's performance and engagement.

The successful candidate will have extensive senior experience at a leadership level in HR Business Partnering or COE. We are looking for employee relations experience in an International business, preferably financial services and/or Tech. You will be comfortable coaching and mentoring leaders and actively participating in our International Leadership Team.

An understanding of European employment law would be beneficial as would an understanding of mobility issues across regions. UK employment law expertise is a given.

Specifically, this role requires exposure to outsourcing and/or acquisitions and experience and the confidence to lead collective consultation. We are not unionized; however, there is always a requirement for consultation in TUPE type scenarios in European acquisitions and similar legislation in APAC. A commercial outlook is a given.

An interest in compensation and benefits is needed to enable the successful candidate to partner with the regional COE and ensure we offer market-level compensation and benefits. We are implementing a global grading/career framework in the near future and you will need the ability to lead the teams through this program and other regional programs as we transform our operations by implementing a regional payroll platform and automate our back office. This will help transform our region and support the drive to scale up our operations to support growth.

You should be prepared to learn and develop skills as needed and be able to demonstrate this ability throughout your current career.
