Associate Director of HR

We are on a mission to make science open so everyone can live healthy lives on a healthy planet

Who we are

Frontiers is the 3rd most-cited and 6th largest research publisher and we publish groundbreaking discoveries by the world's top experts.

Scientists empower society and our mission is to accelerate scientific discovery by making science open. We place the researcher at the center of everything we do and enable the research community to develop the solutions we need to live healthy lives on a healthy planet.

Join the publishing revolution.

The Role

Due to fast growth within the People Experience teams, Frontiers has a brand new opportunity for an Associate HR Director to come and support our growing People Experience department. You will be passionate about scaling and leading global teams in developing, implementing, communicating and administering HR policies, procedures, and programs that align with the organisation's goals and objectives. This role will report to the Chief People Officer.

You will lead the People Business Partnering across European Union, US and China and Operations (HR Shared Services) team and work in collaboration with the wider HR team including Talent Acquisition, Learning & Development, and Reward teams to ensure we provide the best support for our people, who are based across our global locations. You will be part of a fast-growing global company, and be hands on and happy to adapt to the changing needs of the business (no day is the same here at Frontiers!).

Benefits

With more than 50 nationalities represented in our global team, you will work regularly with teammates in other countries, and with our community of researchers, editors, and authors from around the globe.

Our mission to create solutions for healthy lives also extends to the working environment we provide for our employees.

This includes:

100% remote working

Employees now have the flexibility to choose where they want to work, with remote working available on a part- or full-time basis (not applicable to some Workplace/IT jobs due to nature of role requiring presence onsite, in the office).

Learning and development

All employees have access to LinkedIn Learning (and Pluralsight for our technology team), an annual personal learning budget, and dedicated L&D time.

Wellbeing

We offer free online yoga classes, an employee assistance plan, access to the Headspace app, and four wellbeing days on top of your annual leave allowance.

Volunteering opportunities

Employees can dedicate three days each year to volunteer for a personal cause or through our volunteering partner platform, Alaya.
