We're a leading online reviews platform, free and open to all. Our mission is to be a universal symbol of trust. We are well on our way — but there's still an exciting journey ahead of us.

Do you want to join us at the heart of trust?:


We have a fantastic opportunity for an Employee Relations (ER) Specialist to join our People Team, based in London or Copenhagen.

This is an exciting new role that is being introduced in line with the evolution of our People Partnering operating model, and to support the needs of our growing workforce.

The role will primarily support the resolution of ER matters across our 10 international locations, while promoting a culture of accountability and values-driven behaviour.


What you'll be doing:

  • Provide expert counsel to line managers to manage longterm sickness and underperformance cases;
  • Develop and maintain a repository of country specific ER guidance and expertise, including toolkits, templates and process documentation;
  • Ensure cases are tracked and logged appropriately, producing reporting for audit purposes;
  • Share high risk cases and trends/insight with People Partners on ER matters to influence the design and delivery of relevant people interventions e.g. delivering workshops and training to develop line management capability;
  • Work regularly with our Legal team and external legal counsel to obtain employmentrelated advice as required;
  • Advise People Partners on how to handle reorganisations across regions, understanding change and people impacts, and managing risk appropriately;

  • An ability to work independently and take ownership of deliverables in a fastpaced, global organisation, while maintaining close contact with stakeholders across multiple locations.
  • Teamorientated, flexible and enthusiastic with a cando approach.
  • Fluency in English as this is our global business language.

What's in it for you:

  • A range of flexible working options to dedicate time to what matters to you
  • Competitive compensation package + bonus
