Director, Employee Relations and HR Policy, AsiaPac

Lineage (NASDAQ: LINE) is the world's largest and most innovative provider of temperature-controlled logistics solutions, with more than 25,000 employees spanning 20 countries and more than 450 locations across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and South America.

We are now looking to appoint an experienced Director, Employee Relations & HR Policy to champion our regional employee and industrial relations strategy across Asia Pacific.

This is a unique opportunity for either an accomplished ER/IR practitioner or a senior employment lawyer looking to move into a strategic, business-facing advocacy role.

Partnering closely with executive group, legal stakeholders and HR teams, you'll help shape workforce strategy, navigate organisational change, manage risk and provide commercially focused outcomes across a complex, unionised and highly regulated operating environment.


Why This Role Could Be the Right Move for a Lawyer

Rather than simply advising on employment law issues, this role offers the opportunity to influence business strategy, develop major workforce initiatives and implement outcomes across a diverse Asia Pacific portfolio.

You'll work at the intersection of:

• Enterprise bargaining and industrial relations strategy
  
• Organisational restructuring and workforce transformation
  
• Employment law risk management and compliance
  
• Executive stakeholder engagement
  
• Union and workforce relations
  
• HR policy and governance
  

This is an opportunity to step into a true business partnering role while continuing to leverage your deep employment law expertise.


What You Bring

We are looking for a commercially minded lawyer with deep expertise in employment and industrial relations and a proven ability to influence outcomes in complex organisational environments.

You may come from:

• A senior Employee Relations or Industrial Relations leadership background
  
• A workplace relations, employment law or industrial law practice
  
• An in-house legal, ER or HR advisory function within a large organisation
  

Your experience will ideally include:

• Significant experience advising on employment, labour and industrial relations matters
  
• Expertise managing workforce change, restructures, consultations and organisational transformation initiatives
  
• Proven involvement in enterprise bargaining, collective negotiations and union engagement strategies
  
• Experience advising senior executives on complex workplace risk, compliance and governance matters
  
• Strong knowledge of employment legislation, industrial instruments and regulatory frameworks
  
• Experience representing or managing matters before tribunals, regulators or dispute resolution forums
  
• Demonstrated success operating in partnership with business leaders to deliver commercially pragmatic outcomes
  
• Ability to influence and build credibility across executives, operational leaders, HR and Legal stakeholders
  
• Experience working within or alongside large, complex organisations through secondments, embedded advisory arrangements or in-house roles
  
• Exposure to APAC jurisdictions and multi-country employment environments will be highly regarded
  

In summary, if you are an experienced lawyer seeking to transition into a strategic in-house leadership role, we would love to hear from you.

If you have built your career advising organisations through complex workplace challenges and/or you have gained meaningful experience working within businesses through secondments, embedded advisory roles or in-house engagements, such experience will be highly regarded.
