What You Will Do

• Lead end‑to‑end management of complex client escalations involving multiple countries, cross‑functional stakeholders, and elevated retention risk.
• Navigate complex employee relations issues and cross‑country termination matters, ensuring legally compliant and globally consistent outcomes.
• Serve as the primary client‑facing lead during escalations, providing clear updates and managing expectations to preserve trust.
• Conduct structured intake assessments, define scope and severity, identify root causes, and build comprehensive resolution plans with clear milestones.
• Coordinate across Product, EOR HR/Ops, Legal, Payroll, Operations, Sales, and other teams to align on strategy, remove blockers, and drive timely execution.
• Establish escalation channels (e.g., war rooms, executive updates), define roles and decision‑making pathways, and ensure consistent documentation.
• Facilitate collaborative problem‑solving sessions and mediate competing priorities to drive aligned outcomes.
• Conduct structured root‑cause analyses after resolution, identify systemic gaps, and partner cross‑functionally to implement durable improvements.

What You Will Need

• 8+ years of experience in global HR operations, EOR services, client escalation management, or complex cross‑functional program leadership.
• Experience managing high‑severity client issues involving multiple countries and cross‑departmental stakeholders.
• Strong knowledge of international employment frameworks, compliance considerations, and operational HR processes.
• Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders and drive alignment without direct authority.
• Experience handling retention‑risk situations, including clients threatening churn or requesting executive visibility.
• Exceptional project‑management capabilities with structured planning, risk assessment, and milestone tracking.
• Ability to operate across time zones and provide support during escalations outside standard business hours when required.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to deliver concise executive‑level updates.
• Strong analytical and root‑cause investigation skills.
• High emotional intelligence and composure under pressure.
