People Relations Partner

Crimson Education – Auckland, North Island

Crimson Education is a global EdTech company founded in 2013 with the idea that through personalised education and technology, we can transform students into the world leaders of tomorrow. Our unique tech platform connects expert-led guidance and proven data-driven strategies from 3,000 tutors and mentors with students worldwide, helping ambitious students unlock dream career pathways.

Valued at over $1B NZD and backed by top-tier investors, including Tiger Global and Ice House Ventures, we are just getting started. We were recently featured on the front page of the Wall Street Journal.

With 800+ team members across 30+ markets, our People team is at the heart of how we scale and empower our global workforce. We’re hiring our first People Relations Partner to shape how we manage complex people matters across our global workforce. This role will lead global employee relations cases, investigations and advisory while also building scalable frameworks to strengthen trust, enable high-performance and growth.

This isn’t just a reactive ER role — it’s about ensuring everyone is treated fairly by designing consistent, clear, and proactive processes that help leaders act quickly and confidently. The right person combines deep People expertise, exceptional judgment, and a commercial mindset. You’ll be AI-enabled, pragmatic, and skilled at guiding leaders through ambiguous, high-stakes situations, always focusing on outcomes that benefit both our people and the business.

This is a hands-on role that requires confidence in handling cases across multiple jurisdictions, ideally in the UK, New Zealand, or Australia, with exposure to the USA and other Asian markets a plus!

This is a fully remote role that requires some flexibility across time zones, with the option to work in-person if you’re in an area with an office.

What are the main responsibilities for this role?

• Lead complex ER cases across multiple jurisdictions, including performance, behaviour, and change management.
• Partner with legal and senior leaders on high-risk or nuanced cases to ensure fair, timely, and compliant outcomes.
• Coach and support managers and employees through sensitive topics.
• Build scalable, equitable ER frameworks, policies, and playbooks.
• Identify trends and opportunities to strengthen culture, trust, and performance, and turn insights into proactive initiatives with the People team and senior leaders.
• Leverage AI and data tools to streamline case management, reporting, and documentation while keeping a human-centred and compliance-first approach.
