HRBP - Europe

ABOUT ZEROFOX

Zero Fox protects what's real by removing what isn't. We steadfastly safeguard organizations from fraud, abuse, misinformation, and attack by preemptively exposing, disrupting, and eliminating external threats across the public attack surface, because when people can't tell what's real, they stop trusting everything.

You'll be Zero Fox's first dedicated HR presence in Europe. That's not a throwaway line; it means you'll be setting the tone, building the processes, and showing roughly 50 employees across the UK, Germany, Netherlands, and Ireland, what a thoughtful, credible HR partner actually looks and feels like. The team is primarily commercial (Sales, Customer Success) and technical (Product) and having someone in-region who knows UK employment law, understands the cultural nuances of a London office, and can be physically present when it matters is a meaningful upgrade for them.

You'll report to our Director of HR Business Partners in the US and work closely with the VP of Human Resources. Your manager is excellent and hands-on, but you'll operate with real autonomy day to day. The right person will see that as one of the best things about this job.

The primary focus of this role is strategic HRBP. You'll partner with the people managers across five European countries, supporting them through performance conversations, employee relations matters, headcount planning, and the kind of practical people advice that makes managers better at their jobs. You'll be the person they call when something is going sideways with a team member and the person who helps them think through how to develop their best people.

That's the core of what this role is, and it's where the majority of your time lives.

Because you'll be the only HR person in the London office, you'll also serve as the day-to-day HR Generalist for UK-based employees. That means participating in the full employee lifecycle — onboarding new starters properly, managing offboarding professionally, supporting UK compliance requirements, fielding policy questions, and being the first point of contact when employees need HR support. You'll work closely with our People Ops team in the US on benefits and systems, but for the people sitting in that office, you're the face of HR.

The third component is office administration. The London office is small, and we're not looking for a dedicated office manager but someone needs to keep things running. That means managing vendor relationships, coordinating various office and people logistics as needed,, supporting the planning of team events, and generally being the person who makes the office a place people want to come to.

It's not the biggest part of the job, but it matters and we want someone who sees it that way.

In your first 90 days: you'd audit the current state of UK employment documentation, establish yourself as the go-to HR and office contact for the European team, build working relationships with your counterparts in the US, Chile, and India, and identify the top process gaps that need addressing.

You'll thrive here if…

• The combination of HRBP, generalist, and office admin work sounds like a complete job to you, not a compromise
• UK employment law is genuinely second nature: contracts, redundancy, disciplinary and grievance, holiday entitlement, right to work
• You can have a strategic talent conversation with a Sales VP in the morning and handle an onboarding checklist in the afternoon without skipping a beat
• You've worked for a US-headquartered company before and understand how to navigate the cultural and operational differences
• You're comfortable owning a req end to end, writing the JD, running interviews, managing offers, in support of the TA Lead, without being a dedicated recruiter
• 'Making the office a great place to work' is something you take personal pride in, regardless of whether it's in your job title
• You're autonomous by nature and manage up effectively across time zones without needing constant check‑ins

This probably isn't for you if…

• You're looking for a pure strategic HRBP role without generalist or administrative…
