This is a hybrid role with two days per week in our London offices.

AS AN EMPLOYEE RELATIONS BUSINESS PARTNER, YOU WILL:

• Provide pragmatic, commercial guidance to business leaders while balancing fairness, risk, and business impact.

• Work directly with senior leaders during sensitive or complex ER issues.

• Drive alignment across cross functional stakeholders during country based workforce planning.

• Manage high case volume, shifting priorities, and rapid pace with resilience and sound judgement.

• Act as a trusted advisor to leaders, helping navigate both black and white ER matters and complex grey scenarios.

• Strong experience conducting formal investigations and managing grievances end to end.

• Demonstrated ability to manage RIFs or workforce changes, ideally with ownership rather than support only.

• Experience building ER policies or processes where little or no infrastructure existed.

• High EQ, excellent judgement, and the ability to tailor recommendations to business context.

• Strong written and verbal communication, with experience advising senior leaders.

• Comfort working in a fast paced, go to market heavy environment.

• Ability to juggle multiple priorities while remaining organised and steady under pressure.

• A collaborative mindset and strong relationship building skills across diverse cultures.

YOU WILL RECEIVE BONUS POINTS FOR THE FOLLOWING:

• Experience partnering with legal teams on complex ER investigations.

• A track record of building processes, templates, and ER systems from the ground up.

WHY JOIN OUR PEOPLE TEAM AT SNOWFLAKE?

This is an exciting opportunity to join a highly respected, collaborative, and tight knit People Team. We operate situationally, using judgement rather than heavy policy. We support the business by understanding the nuance of each case and providing guidance that is practical, commercial, and grounded in fairness.

You will help define how Snowflake approaches Employee Relations across EMEA while partnering with experienced Business Partners, Legal, and senior leaders. This role offers meaningful ownership, the ability to build, and the chance to make a lasting impact on Snowflake’s culture and people experience.

Snowflake is growing fast, and we’re scaling our team to help enable and accelerate our growth. We are looking for people who share our values, challenge ordinary thinking, and push the pace of innovation while building a future for themselves and Snowflake.
