You will combine this functional understanding with regional expertise to deliver relevant, practical, and scalable HR solutions. You will act as a consistent point of contact for People Leaders, coach managers across a broad range of people matters, and partner with GBO Functional HRBPs, Centres of Excellence, and specialist teams to provide an integrated manager experience.

• Analyse people data and consultation themes to identify trends, anticipate manager needs, and develop proactive and scalable solutions. 

• Provide regional and country-specific support across EMEA and LATAM, recognising when local expertise, specialist partnership, or escalation is required. 

• Champion LinkedIn’s culture and values and ensure all activities are aligned with applicable laws, regulations, policies, and procedures.
