Role Overview
The People Operations Center of Excellence enables People Operations services at scale. The EMEA Offboarding team manages end-to-end employee exits across around 50 countries and many different legal and regulatory environments.
What You Will Do
As a People Operations Services Lead – Offboarding EMEA, you will be the team’s senior escalation point and the owner of how offboarding works across EMEA. You will take on the most complex and sensitive cases yourself and decide how they are resolved.
