About the Role
Reporting to the Director of Employee Relations, UK & Ireland, this role sits within LSEG’s Global Employee Relations Centre of Excellence (CoE) and provides enterprise‑level leadership for Employee Relations across the Group. You will act as a design and decision‑making authority, shaping Employee Relations policies, frameworks and ways of working to support fair, consistent and sustainable outcomes. The role involves making balanced, well‑reasoned decisions on matters involving legal, regulatory, reputational and cultural considerations, ensuring approaches are equitable, proportionate and defensible.

Working within a global and diverse organisation, you will support senior‑level decision‑making on Employee Relations matters with cross‑jurisdictional, Group‑wide or precedent‑setting implications. Through close partnership with People Leaders, the People Function and a wide range of stakeholders, you will help embed inclusive Employee Relations practices that support organisational effectiveness, regulatory expectations and positive colleague experience.

Key responsibilities include providing trusted Employee Relations guidance and coaching on complex or sensitive matters, leading high‑impact cases such as senior‑level grievances, investigations, disciplinary and whistleblowing matters, and acting as a senior escalation point within the CoE to ensure governance, quality assurance and sound decision‑making. You will also lead or contribute to organisation‑wide Employee Relations programmes including organisational change, redundancy and transformation activities, partner with colleagues across People, Legal and the business to design and embed Employee Relations frameworks, and use data and insight to identify themes, emerging risks and opportunities for improvement.

Building constructive relationships with senior stakeholders, producing clear and balanced written communications, and supporting informed decisions while appropriately challenging approaches that may introduce risk are essential aspects of this role.

Joining LSEG means becoming part of a global financial markets infrastructure and data business with a 300-year heritage, operating in 70 countries with 25,000 employees worldwide. LSEG values innovation, quality and continuous improvement, and is committed to diversity, inclusion and sustainability.
