This is a unique opportunity to help establish a new regional HQ from the ground up, embedding a strong and cohesive culture while driving transformation across the cluster.

As part of the HR team, you will be responsible for establishing and delivering a strong People and Sustainability plan for the cluster. This includes driving initiatives that enhance Employee Engagement and the overall Employee Experience across the region.

As part of setting up the cluster, recruitment will be a large part of the role, with a strong emphasis on hiring the right talent for the future across the region. This also includes a focus on building a strong and cohesive culture within the cluster, ensuring that new hires and organisational practices align with Pandora’s strategic direction and values.
You will be responsible for delivering on key HR KPIs while ensuring smooth and effective day-to-day operations. At the same time, you will help build and professionalise a high-performing, value-adding HR team that consistently delivers a positive people experience and collaborates closely with our Centres of Expertise.
In this role, you will also play a key part in driving HR transformation by establishing modern, scalable ways of working that support operational excellence and long-term growth—ensuring the cluster is set up to scale and ready for the future.
