# People Director – Level Shoes – Chalhoub Group

Chalhoub Group has spent decades as a partner and creator of luxury experiences in the Middle East, working across fashion, beauty, jewellery, watches, eyewear, and art de vivre categories, and this People Director role leads the human resources function for Level Shoes, the group’s luxury footwear retail concept. This is a senior HR leadership position responsible for people strategy across a distinctive, fast-moving luxury retail business.

The role covers the full breadth of strategic HR leadership: talent acquisition and workforce planning suited to a luxury retail environment, employee experience and engagement, performance and talent development, and organizational design as the Level Shoes business evolves. Because luxury retail depends so heavily on the quality and consistency of its customer-facing staff, this role has a particularly close relationship between HR strategy and the brand’s actual customer experience on the shop floor.

It suits a senior HR professional with a strong track record leading people strategy within retail, luxury, or another customer-facing consumer business, who is comfortable operating as a genuine business partner to commercial leadership, not just an administrative HR function. Strong stakeholder management and the credibility to influence senior leadership decisions are essential at this level.

For an HR leader who wants to shape people strategy for a recognizable luxury retail brand within a well-established regional group, this role offers genuine strategic scope and visibility.

## Requirements

- Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field; a relevant master’s degree is an advantage

- Significant senior HR leadership experience, ideally within retail, luxury, or another customer-facing consumer business

- Strong track record in talent acquisition, workforce planning, and organizational design

- Experience leading employee experience, engagement, and performance management strategy

- Excellent stakeholder management skills, with the ability to act as a genuine business partner to commercial leadership

- Deep understanding of UAE labor law and regional HR practices

- Strong people leadership skills to lead and develop the HR team itself

- Genuine interest in and understanding of the luxury retail sector
