This role will partner with internal Legal, Payroll, Benefits, HRIS, Finance, IT, and external partners.\nThis is a role for an experienced HR practitioner seeking scope and impact. The ideal candidate already operates independently at this level: sound judgment, comfort with ambiguity, and hands-on experience carrying HR through an acquisition in more than one country. They are the first point of escalation for HR issues across the Portfolio and are trusted to bring the President and business unit leaders solutions, not open questions.\nJob Responsibilities\nBusiness Partnership & Strategy\nServe as a trusted advisor to the Pegasus Portfolio President and each business unit's management team. \nTrack industry trends and best practices and translate them into recommendations for the Portfolio. \nParticipate in leadership meetings and contribute HR insight to business decisions. \nProvide practical HR reporting and workforce insights as requested by Portfolio and business-unit leadership, and develop recurring metrics where they add value. \nPartner with business leaders on workforce planning, succession, retention, organizational changes, and leadership-related decisions. \nAdvise leaders on restructurings, role design, and annual HR priorities across the five businesses. \nM&A - HR Due Diligence & Integration\nPartner with external advisors to lead HR due diligence on acquisition targets: employment cost/liability exposure, compensation and benefits benchmarking, employment contract and works council/union review, key-talent identification, and change-of-control or severance exposure. \nOwn post-close integration planning and execution: Day-1 readiness, harmonizing benefits and policies, integrating payroll and HRIS, and building the communication plan for affected employees. \nTrack integration milestones, decisions, risks, dependencies, and owners, and report progress to Portfolio leadership and relevant transaction partners. \nLead the HR workstream from early diligence and risk assessment through signing, close, Day 1, stabilization, and ongoing integration. \nManage HR diligence materials and assess employment terms, compensation, benefits, pensions, payroll, immigration, contractor use, employee disputes, collective arrangements, transfer requirements, and related liabilities. \nDevelop and execute employee transfer, retention, severance, communications, payroll, benefits, HRIS, and country-specific integration plans. \nCoordinate HR dependencies with Corporate Development, Legal, Finance, Tax, Payroll, Benefits, IT, HRIS, advisors, and acquired-company leadership, including for carve-outs and entity reorganizations. \nTalent Acquisition & Workforce Planning\nLead or coordinate talent acquisition across the Portfolio, including requisition setup, approval workflows, screening, and offer processes, and hiring-manager support. \nPartner with hiring managers on role definition, interview process, and hiring decisions. \nSupport workforce and succession planning for key roles across the five business units. \nHR Operations, Compensation & Performance\nOwn and coordinate employee lifecycle processes, including hiring, agreements, onboarding, employee changes, leaves and accommodations, transfers, promotions, relocations, records, and offboarding. \nLead compensation, bonus, performance-review, benefits, and employee-support cycles, partnering with Payroll, Benefits, Finance, IT, and HRIS for accurate and timely delivery. \nEmployee Engagement & Relations\nAssess employee engagement and design initiatives to improve it. \nManage employee relations matters - conflict resolution, performance management, disciplinary action, investigations, accommodations, and sensitive employee concerns - across varying legal and cultural contexts. \nCoach managers on employee relations. \nEngage complex matters to outside counsel as needed. \nOrganizational Change & Global Employment\nLead HR planning and execution for restructurings, reductions in force, business closures, entity changes, and individual separations, including documentation, manager preparation, communications, and cross-functional coordination. \nManage cross-border employment matters, including EOR arrangements, immigration and work authorization, coordination with external immigration counsel, international transfers, remote-work locations, and local requirements through appropriate internal and external partners. \nPolicy Administration, HR Systems & Compliance\nDevelop, implement, and administer HR policies that meet corporate standards and local legal requirements across all countries of operation. \nOwn HRIS data integrity and reporting for the Portfolio, and coordinate Workday transactions, approval workflows, organizational changes, audits, troubleshooting, and manager and employee support. \nEnsure compliance with employment and labor law in every country where the Portfolio operates, partnering with local counsel, EOR providers, or Corporate in markets outside the HRD's direct expertise. \nParticipate in Corporate audits and compliance matters. \nMaintain HR controls, employee records, data confidentiality, document retention, policy compliance, and recurring audits; monitor legal changes and update practices as required. \nMaintain practical HR templates and processes and use technology and AI to improve efficiency, consistency, and employee and manager service. \nAI Adopter/Self Development\nUse AI and other technology thoughtfully to improve research, drafting, process design, documentation, and day-to-day HR productivity. \nStay current on mandatory training requirements. \nPerforms other duties as assigned. \nCompetencies\nDiscretion & Confidentiality: Handles non-public deal information and sensitive employee matters with judgment and strict confidentiality.\nGlobal Mindset: Works effectively across cultures, languages, and jurisdictions;
