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 requires 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 to People Leaders, People Partners and senior stakeholders on complex or sensitive matters, supporting consistent and legally compliant outcomes.
- Leading and overseeing high-impact Employee Relations cases, including senior-level grievances, investigations, disciplinary and whistleblowing matters, particularly those with enterprise, reputational or precedent-setting considerations.
- Acting as a senior escalation point within the Employee Relations CoE, offering governance, quality assurance and oversight to support confidence, consistency and sound decision-making.
- Leading or contributing to organisation-wide Employee Relations programmes and initiatives, including organisational change, redundancy and transformation activity involving multiple stakeholders.
- Partnering with colleagues across the People Function, Legal and the business to design, review and embed Employee Relations frameworks, policies and ways of working.
- Using data, insight and technology to identify themes, emerging risks and opportunities for improvement across Employee Relations activity.
- Building constructive, professional relationships with senior stakeholders, supporting informed decisions and appropriately challenging approaches that may introduce legal, regulatory or cultural risk.
- Producing clear, balanced and accessible written outputs, including outcome communications, senior briefings and risk assessments for complex or sensitive matters.

LSEG is a global financial markets infrastructure and data business with a strong commitment to diversity, inclusion and sustainability. You will be part of a collaborative and creative culture that encourages new ideas and continuous improvement.
