Key Responsibilities

The successful candidate will:

  • Develop and execute the organisation's People Strategy in alignment with overall business objectives.
  • Serve as a trusted people adviser to senior leadership, providing insights on workforce performance, talent risks, succession planning and organisational culture.
  • Lead the full employee lifecycle, including talent acquisition, onboarding, performance management, learning & development and succession planning.
  • Develop leadership capability and structured development plans for employees at all levels.
  • Establish and monitor HR metrics and KPIs to measure the effectiveness of people initiatives.
  • Design and lead employee engagement, culture and retention programmes.
  • Lead industrial and employee relations matters, including union negotiations, collective agreements, grievances and disciplinary matters.
  • Ensure HR policies, practices and procedures remain compliant with applicable employment legislation and regulatory requirements.
  • Lead the people and culture aspects of organisational change and transformation initiatives.
  • Partner with senior leaders to strengthen communication, employee engagement and change readiness.
  • Provide leadership and oversight of the people, training and governance dimensions of Health, Safety, Security & Environment (HSSE).
  • Champion a strong safety culture and ensure mandatory workplace safety training is embedded throughout the organisation.

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree in Human Resources Management, Business Administration, Organisational Psychology or a related discipline.
  • Minimum 8 years of progressive HR experience, including at least 3 years in a senior HR leadership or functional-head role.
  • Demonstrated experience managing industrial relations and union negotiations, preferably within manufacturing or another complex operational environment.
  • Proven experience developing and implementing organisation-wide talent, culture and employee development programmes.
  • Strong knowledge of employment legislation and industrial relations practices within Barbados or the wider Caribbean.
  • Ability to operate effectively within a structured governance and regulatory environment.

Highly Desirable:

  • Master's degree and/or senior professional HR certification such as SHRM-SCP, CIPD Level 7 or equivalent.
  • Multi-entity or Group-level HR leadership experience.
  • Experience within manufacturing or another operationally complex environment.
  • Exposure to executive compensation, governance and senior-level workforce reporting.

This opportunity is ideal for a strategic yet hands-on HR leader who can influence at the executive level while remaining connected to the operational realities of the workforce.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
