About candidate
Balancing the day-to-day operational demands with the long-term strategic direction was a constant challenge. I was deeply involved in not only managing and implementing HR processes but also working closely with the senior leadership team to shape and execute strategy across a global workforce. This involved rolling up my sleeves to get things done, while also operating at a strategic level, ensuring that the people agenda supported our business objectives and growth trajectory. My ability to manage these competing priorities ultimately led to my promotion to a more senior role, recognising my ability to balance operational delivery with high-level strategy. This experience gave me invaluable exposure to leading HR in a dynamic, fast-paced environment and cemented my passion for driving organisational success through people.

Dear Hiring Manager
I am excited to express my interest in the Vice President of Human Resources position, as I believe my experience aligns perfectly with the requirements outlined for this role. In my current position at 2San, I have successfully led HR strategies during a period of rapid growth, managing the full HR spectrum while overseeing talent acquisition, organisational development, and employee experience across global operations. This experience has been invaluable in preparing me to lead strategic HR initiatives in a tech-driven environment, similar to what your company is aiming for.
A key accomplishment in my career was overseeing HR operations and transformation at 2San, where I played a pivotal role in scaling the HR function globally while driving the development and execution of people strategies to support rapid business growth. My role involved working closely with the senior leadership team to drive organisational culture, align HR strategies with business goals, and manage talent acquisition across multiple regions (NA, EMEA and APAC). In addition, I took on the challenge of integrating AI-driven solutions into HR processes, helping to streamline operations and improve data-driven decision-making, aligning well with your company's emphasis on HRIS platforms and digital transformation.
Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in workforce planning, employee engagement, diversity, equity, and inclusion, and leadership development. I have a track record of championing inclusive environments and am passionate about shaping organisational cultures that support high performance and innovation. I also bring a deep understanding of labor regulations across various global markets and am adept at ensuring compliance while balancing business needs.
I am confident that my experience in managing HR operations, combined with my leadership skills and a strong focus on strategic HR initiatives, positions me as an ideal candidate for this role. I would be thrilled to have the opportunity to bring my experience and passion for human resources leadership to your organisation and work remotely with your global team to drive success.
Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of discussing this exciting opportunity further.
Sincerely,
Jodie Harkin
