Senior Employee Relations Partner

About the Position

Working at Atlassian

Atlassians can choose where they work – whether in an office, from home, or a combination of the two. That way, Atlassians have more control over supporting their family, personal goals, and other priorities. We can hire people in any country where we have a legal entity.

This role is responsible for providing expert support for complex, high-risk and sensitive ER matters across our EMEA region. As part of this role, you will also manage relationships with multiple Works Councils, lead end-to-end consultations, and partner with EMEA HRBPs, Employment Legal, functional leaders, and other stakeholders to deliver sound, consistent outcomes.

To help our teams work together effectively we're looking for someone based in the UK.

Responsibilities

• Lead Works Council engagement and consultation processes across EMEA, including relationship management, planning, meeting preparation, facilitation, consultation materials, Q&A, responses, and follow-through on actions.
• Assess Works Council and consultation implications of regional, functional, and enterprise changes, taking account of country-specific requirements, employee impact, sequencing, legal risk, and communications.
• Manage complex ER casework, investigations, and operational escalations, and advise leaders and HRBPs on performance management, grievances, disciplinary action, and other sensitive matters.
• Build effective partnerships across our EMEA region and help maintain clear intake, governance, and operating processes for ER and Works Council matters.
• Support our Global Employee Relations team on developing and implementing various initiatives and supporting global cases.
• Provide ER-related trainings, including topics for managers on effective performance management, navigating difficult situations/conversations, and labor law compliance.
• Use data to identify employee relations trends and provide preventative trainings and systems processes.

Requirements

• Extensive EMEA employee relations experience, managing complex, sensitive matters across multiple countries.
• Proven track record managing relationships with multiple works councils and leading consultations and related processes with cross-functional stakeholders.
• Experience developing and implementing ER practices, guidelines, and regulations to ensure compliance with employment laws, policies, and procedures.
• Strong knowledge of employment law, ER practices, and country-specific consultation requirements across EMEA.
• Proven experience building trusted partnerships with HRBPs, employment legal, business leaders, employee representatives, and other stakeholders, and delivering clear, pragmatic recommendations.
• Experience mentoring and supporting team members.
