Job Description
Employee Relations Lead (People Lead) | London – Hybrid (minimum 50% office based)
Ready to lead employee relations in a growing consultancy where judgement, pragmatism and people matter equally?
At Projective Group, we partner with financial services organisations to help them navigate complex change. Our expertise spans payments, data, transformation and risk across consulting, strategy and managed services.
Founded in Belgium in 2006, Projective Group now has more than 1,000 colleagues across Europe, including around 200 in the UK. As we continue to grow, we are looking for an experienced Employee Relations specialist to join our People team as Employee Relations Lead (People Lead).
This role sits at the heart of our UK People function, providing expert guidance on employee relations and employment law matters while helping ensure our policies, processes and people practices continue to evolve as the organisation grows.
The opportunity
As Employee Relations Lead, you will act as the UK authority on employee relations matters, working closely with the UK COO and senior leaders across the business. You will help guide the organisation through complex people matters, ensuring decisions are fair, pragmatic and aligned with both employment law and our company values.
While this role carries leadership influence within the People function, it is also intentionally hands-on. As a growing consultancy, we are looking for someone who enjoys staying close to the detail, taking ownership of cases, policy development and people governance, while helping shape how our People function continues to mature.
You will work alongside colleagues across recruitment, people development and people operations, providing specialist ER expertise and helping ensure our people practices remain robust, consistent and aligned with both UK legislation and Group standards.
