Global Labour Law & Employee Relations Associate - Project Manager

POCA Business Partnering

People, Organisation & Corporate Affairs
Bagsværd, Denmark

Join Global Labour Law & Employee Relations and build your experience at the intersection of Employee Relations, labour law, data analysis and international project management.

In this role, you will help drive key projects across our global Employee Relations agenda, turning complex information and data into insights that support better organisational decisions. Working closely with stakeholders across countries, including our Employee Relations colleagues in the US, you will have the opportunity to take ownership of projects and make a visible impact in an international environment.

Your new role

As Project Manager in Global Labour Law & Employee Relations, you will combine project management, analytical thinking and stakeholder collaboration to support priorities across our global agenda.

Your main responsibilities will be:

• Driving selected projects and workstreams from planning through execution and follow-up.
• Analysing US Employee Relations data and reporting to identify trends, risks and opportunities.
• Translating complex information into clear analyses, presentations and recommendations.
• Collaborating closely with Employee Relations colleagues in the US and other global stakeholders.
• Coordinating activities across countries and functions to ensure alignment and progress.
• Supporting the development of tools, processes, reporting and other Employee Relations initiatives.

You will work closely with experienced Employee Relations and labour law specialists, applying your legal and analytical mindset across a broad range of topics without focusing on traditional legal advisory work.

Your new department

Global Labour Law & Employee Relations is a team focused on supporting Employee Relations and labour law priorities across the organisation. We work closely with colleagues across People & Organisation and the wider business to provide guidance, insights and solutions that help create a strong employee experience while supporting business needs.

As part of the team, you will collaborate with colleagues primarily based in Denmark and the US and gain exposure to different legal frameworks, Employee Relations practices and organisational contexts. The role offers a highly international environment where building relationships, influencing stakeholders and working across geographies are key to success.

What you’ll bring

You are curious, analytical and motivated by understanding how legal considerations, people priorities and business needs come together. You enjoy turning complex information into practical insights and building strong relationships across diverse stakeholder groups.

To succeed in this role, you have:

• A master's degree in Law (cand.jur.), Business Law (cand.merc.jur.), or a related field.
• Strong analytical skills and an interest in using data to identify trends and support decision-making.
• An interest in employment law and Employee Relations, and how legal frameworks support business and people outcomes.
• The ability to translate complex information into clear recommendations, presentations and actionable insights.
• Strong project management, communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Confidence working across cultures, geographies and time zones, with the persistence to drive progress and collaboration.
• Professional fluency in English.

It would be an advantage if you have experience from HR, legal, consulting or project-based environments, including internships or student positions, as well as exposure to Employee Relations, employment law, reporting or data analysis.
