About the Role


LIXIL is seeking a highly adaptable and strategic HR Business Partner to drive the People Strategy and manage all operational HR functions across our dynamic Belgium and UK markets.

This unique role demands a full-stack HR professional capable of effortlessly transitioning from deep legal compliance and daily HR administration to high-level strategic influence. You will be the primary HR contact for approximately 90 employees across two offices, reporting directly to the HR Leader, France & Western Europe.

Location: Zaventem, Belgium (Hybrid: 3 days office / 2 days home)

Travel: Regular and essential travel to the UK (approx. once a month)

Key Responsibilities: The Dual Mandate


I. Strategic Partnership & People Development

  • Managerial Coaching & Leadership: Act as a trusted coach and partner to local leadership and line managers, empowering them to resolve complex team issues and fostering strong leadership skills within the organization.

  • Talent & Engagement Architecture: Design and deploy concrete employee engagement action plans and development initiatives that reinforce LIXIL's culture and enhance retention across both territories.

  • Change Management: Pilot organizational development initiatives and manage change projects to support business growth and maximize efficiency in both the Belgian and UK entities.

  • Strategic Deployment: Drive the local implementation of LIXIL's global HR strategy, including Talent Management, Compensation & Benefits, ensuring alignment with Western Europe objectives.


II. Operational Excellence & Legal Compliance (Hands-on)

  • Day-to-Day HR Management: Manage all aspects of HR administration and employee lifecycle from hire to exit, ensuring seamless execution of daily HR operations.

  • Bicultural Legal Mastery: Ensure full and meticulous compliance with complex Belgian labor law (Contracts, Joint Committees, Social Questions) while competently applying UK employment practices and regulations.

  • Payroll & Vendor Liaison: Act as the main point of contact for external partners (payroll provider, social secretariat, legal counsel) to ensure accuracy and compliance in all HR processes.

  • Hybrid Workforce Support: Oversee and provide HR support for international mobility issues between the Belgian and UK offices and coordinate the smooth operation of the hybrid working policy.


What You’ll Bring (The Full-Stack Profile)


  • Experience: Minimum 3-5 years of progressive HR experience, demonstrating a history of managing both the strategic narrative and the operational detail.

  • Legal Expertise: Indispensable mastery of Belgian labor law combined with operational fluency in UK employment practices.

  • Languages: Fluency is required in English, Dutch, and French to effectively manage both markets and senior stakeholders.

  • Influence & Adaptability: Proven ability to influence senior management and translate complex legal and business challenges into simple, actionable HR solutions. You are driven by a pragmatic, solution-oriented approach and a focus on continuous improvement.

  • Systems: Experience with HRIS systems (familiarity with SuccessFactors is a plus).


Why Join LIXIL?


This role is for the HR professional who refuses the dichotomy between strategy and execution. You will not just report on HR issues; you will be instrumental in defining and building the HR function's future in these two vital European markets.
