WE WANT PEOPLE WHO THRIVE ON THE CHALLENGE OF BRINGING GLOBAL STANDARDS TO LIFE WITHIN A LOCAL SUCCESS STORY

Catapult acquired football analytics leader IMPECT in October 2025. A critical component of this product is our Packing Sports Corporation (PSC), based in the Philippines, where our data operations are headquartered. As we drive the next phase of integration, we are seeking a Country HR Lead to serve as the strategic architect and bridge between our PSC operations and Catapult’s Global People & Culture (HR) practices.

Reporting to the Vice President, People & Culture (Melbourne), you will lead the evolution of the P&C function in the Philippines. You will provide the strategic "north star" for an established local team, offering the mentorship and leadership necessary to empower their daily operational excellence. Your focus will be on building a unified employee experience, ensuring our 450+ local team members are seamlessly connected to Catapult’s global mission and performance standards.

• Build and maintain high-trust relationships with key stakeholders across the Philippines, Australia, and the EMEA region to ensure regional alignment with global goals.
• Oversee all employee-related initiatives within the region, providing high-level "hands-on" support to leaders and teams during critical moments of change.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

• A proven track record as a Senior Business Partner, with the commercial mindset to translate global business goals into localized HR strategy.

• Exceptional ability to build high-trust relationships across time zones and cultures (US, DE, UK, AU, PH). You are comfortable navigating the flexibility required for global operations while maintaining boundaries for yourself and your team.
