Human Resources Business Partner

Human Resources Business Partner

We are seeking a hands-on, execution-focused Human Resources Business Partner based in Dubai to manage all non-recruitment HR matters across our global offices. This role is suited to a hands-on HR professional who enjoys operational ownership and execution, rather than a purely strategic leadership position. The ideal candidate will have international HR exposure, strong technology literacy, and a data-driven approach, with a focus on strengthening performance management and enhancing people operations across the business. 

Key Responsibilities:   

HR Operations & Process Management   

• Develop and implement HR policies, processes, and procedures that are fit for a fast-moving, technology-focused business.   
• Design and roll out structured probation reviews, annual performance reviews, and grading frameworks across departments.   
• Support line managers in carrying out their people management responsibilities, including setting clear expectations, conducting reviews, and managing underperformance.   

Global HR Coverage   

• Provide HR support across global offices with primary focus on Dubai; exposure to and understanding of HR practices across multiple geographies is essential.   
• Support day-to-day HR matters across multiple regions in a practical and commercially minded manner.

HR Technology & Systems   

• Manage and optimise HR systems (HRIS, performance management tools, payroll platforms), ensuring data accuracy and operational efficiency.   
• Champion technology-driven approaches to HR; be comfortable with data, automation, and digital-first ways of working.   

Compliance & Contracts   

• Oversee the review and maintenance of employment contracts, ensuring they are current, compliant, and aligned with local labour law across all jurisdictions.   
• Ensure robust documentation practices to support onboarding, performance management, and, where necessary, terminations.   

Training & Development   

• Build and manage structured training plans for employees at all levels, ensuring the business can evidence the support provided to staff.   
• Partner with department heads on onboarding programmes that set clear expectations from day one and build a foundation for strong performance.   

Employee Relations & Risk   

• Handle employee relations matters in a fair, pragmatic, and legally sound way, prioritising practical resolution over rigid process.   
• Ensure the business is protected and compliant with employment legislation across jurisdictions, flagging people-related risks proactively.   

KPIs & Performance Frameworks   

• Design and implement KPI frameworks and objective-setting processes across departments, supporting managers in holding their teams accountable in a structured and consistent way.
