<h1>Head of Human Resources, EMBL</h1><p>
      
        </p>

<h3><strong>Administration</strong> EMBL Heidelberg</h3>
        <p>We are looking for a forward-thinking Head of Human Resources with strong service orientation to develop and lead delivery of EMBL’s people strategy.</p>
        <p>As a world-renowned scientific organisation EMBL’s continuing success depends on attracting, motivating, supporting and developing highly educated, creative and talented, diverse groups of people from across the globe to work on solving some of
          the most important issues facing humankind. Our 1900 staff include researchers, technology experts, scientific services staff and other support professionals.</p>
        <p>This is an exciting time to join EMBL as we start on an ambitious new programme across the six European sites, bringing the opportunity to shape the overall people strategy and develop a solutions-driven, engaged and cohesive HR function.</p><p>
      
      
        </p>

<h2>Your role</h2>
        <p>Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer (COO), you will lead on both the strategic and operational remits of Human Resources.</p>
        <p>EMBL leadership will look to you for expert advice on people matters and organisational development issues and as key liaison point with the Staff Association. As a member of the COO Strategy team you will work closely with colleagues to develop
          integrated strategy and operations.</p>
        <p>Leading the HR team of around 35 staff located in Heidelberg, Germany and Hinxton, UK, you will aim to run highly effective HR operations that meet the needs of the organisation, staff and stakeholders - delivering a full HR partnering service
          supported by specialists in recruitment, employee relations, learning and development, pay and benefits.</p>
        <p>In addition, there are aspects of the role which relate to EMBL’s status as an international organisation, including internal social security system which comprises pension, health insurance and unemployment insurance, and a system of family-related
          benefits and allowances. EMBL benefits from privileges including exemption from national taxation and standard immigration restrictions. Wide international experience will provide a more useful background than deep knowledge of HR in one nation.</p>
        <p>EMBL’s ambitious people programme requires you to lead strategic, cultural and digital change and transformation within the HR function.</p>
        <p>You will role model and champion EMBL’s values of innovation, collaboration, equality, diversity and inclusion - ensuring policies and practices support and align with these values, and leading by example to ensure consistent, fair and transparent
          application of the EMBL Staff Rules and Regulations and related policies across the organisation.</p>
        <p>To be successful in this role you will engage fully with the drivers, challenges and demands of a scientific organisation, have real excitement and enthusiasm for change and want to make a measurable difference.</p><p>

          strategy.
