Fractional Advisor - Global Employment Transfer & Workforce Transition (TUPE/ARD Equivalents)

Remote | Fractional/Hourly | Flexible Engagement

About the Role

Ventula Consulting is looking for a specialist advisor to help us guide a global client through employment transfers triggered by a change of service provider - the global equivalents of UK TUPE and EU Acquired Rights Directive (ARD) regulations.

You'll lead on advising the end client on how affected employees move from one provider to another, ensuring continuity of employment terms and full compliance with local transfer-of-undertakings rules across EMEA, APAC, North America, Latin America, and Emerging Markets.

This is a fractional, hourly-based engagement to begin with (could lead to a Full time engagement) and ideal for an experienced consultant who wants high-impact, specialist project work.

What You'll Do

• After contract review, advise on whether a given service provider change triggers automatic transfer obligations in each relevant jurisdiction, and what those obligations require
• Help map country-by-country requirements: consultation obligations, employee notification periods, consent vs. automatic transfer regimes, and protection of terms & conditions
• Lead transition planning across multiple regions simultaneously, sequencing activity to match varying statutory timelines
• Coordinate with legal counsel, HR and incoming/outgoing providers to execute compliant handoffs
• Flag and mitigate risk areas: unfair dismissal exposure, indemnity clauses, pension/benefits continuity, collective bargaining implications
• Act as the go-to SME for stakeholders unfamiliar with transfer regulations outside their home jurisdiction

What We're Looking For

• Demonstrated experience with TUPE, ARD, or equivalent transfer-of-employment regulations (business transfer laws in APAC, Latin America, and other regions where formal equivalents exist and familiarity with how transitions are handled where they don't)
• Working knowledge across at least two of: EMEA, APAC, North America, Latin America, Emerging Markets - with the judgment to know when to bring in local counsel
• Background in employment law, HR consulting, global mobility, or workforce outsourcing advisory
• Comfortable operating in a fractional/advisory capacity

Engagement Details

• Fractional/hourly-based (Circa 150 Euro per hour)
• Remote, with overlap for key regional stakeholder meetings as needed
• Scope and hours defined per transition project, ongoing or ad hoc as new transitions arise
• Project to start mid-August
