Embed safeguarding into how PxD works with partners and delivers programmes - from due diligence and sub-grant conditions to risk mitigation in programme design and field delivery, working closely with the Programmes team. Report to the COO and contribute to funder or regulator reporting as required, proactively flagging gaps and evolving risks; lead PxD's PSEAH (Protection from Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Harassment) agenda, ensuring policy, reporting mechanisms, and staff awareness cover both programme participants and the workforce.

Translate PxD's strategic direction into practical HR priorities, contributing to the organisation's overall people strategy. Support people surveys and culture reviews as part of PxD's broader effort to be a well-run, inclusive organisation. Provide HR guidance across PxD's operating countries, navigating differences in local employment law and practice, and drawing on external legal advisers as needed to support sound decision-making.

What You'll Bring: Significant experience (10+ years) in a senior HR generalist or HR Business Partner role, including substantial experience operating within an international NGO or development sector context. Proven track record managing employee relations casework end-to-end, with sound judgement on proportionality and risk.
