• Long-term relevant experience in labour relations, as well as in-depth knowledge of European labour laws, regulations, and experience in dealing with a European Works Council

• Superb management of both social partners and leadership team, excellent communication, negotiation, and interpersonal skills.
• Business insight, strong analytical and problem-solving abilities as well as project management experience combined with the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment as part of an international team
• Full business proficiency in English is required; proficiency in additional European languages is a plus
