About Younion

At Younion, we are a brand experiences company working at the intersection of data, design, and events. We help leading B2B technology companies bring their brands to life across formats - from large-format summits and launches to immersive exhibitions, CXO roundtables, activations, and roadshows.

Role Overview

We’re looking for a seasoned professional who will be the heartbeat of all things “people” at Younion. You’ll partner with leadership to drive talent strategies, nurture a culture of belonging, building capabilities and ensuring our fast-paced workplace remains high-performing, happy, and human.

Key Responsibilities:

Talent Acquisition & Onboarding

• Lead and own end-to-end recruitment for roles across creative, conversations, database, operations and support functions.
• Design and deliver a welcoming, structured onboarding experience
• Collaborate with leaders to map skills, assess gaps, and build strong teams

Employee Engagement & Culture

• Champion a culture of openness, collaboration, and continuous feedback
• Curate engagement initiatives - from small surprises to big moments that matter
• Build listening mechanisms that help us stay in tune with employee sentiment

Performance & Development

• Manage goal-setting, appraisals, and continuous performance discussions
• Enable career conversations, training plans, and capability development
• Introduce bite-sized learning interventions that actually stick
• Be a career enabler, not a box-checker

Policy, Process & Compliance

• Develop and refine HR policies that are clear, inclusive, and event-industry relevant.
• Ensure compliance with labour laws and internal audit requirements
• Maintain strong HR operations and up-to-date employee records
• Manage the HRMS.

HR Business Partnering

• Be a trusted advisor to managers and teams on people matters
• Handle conflict resolution and employee relations with empathy and discretion
• Be the go-to confidante, coach, and connector for team members and managers. Solve problems with heart and logic.

What we’re looking for

• 9+ years of progressive HR experience, preferably with time spent in a creative, media, events, or agency environment.
• Strong knowledge of HR practices, labour laws, and talent management frameworks.
• High emotional intelligence, crisp communication, and a get-it-done attitude.
• A sense of humour, resilience under pressure, and a love for fast-moving, deadline-driven teams.
• Is a strong communicator and empathetic listener
• Thrives on structure but also loves thinking creatively
• Knows how to balance people-first thinking with business priorities
• Believes HR is not a support function but as a growth enabler

What’s in it for you

• A front-row seat to Younion’s journey of growth and impact
• An open, warm culture that values voice, ideas, and initiative
• A chance to shape how work feels, not just how it functions
• Work with passionate, talented, slightly quirky (in a good way!) teammates
• Celebrations, learnings, challenges and a fair bit of good food
