<section><p class="heading jdMain">Job Description</p><p class="heading">Roles & Responsibilities</p><div class="paragraph"><p>People & Culture Director Reports to: Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), transitioning to a direct CEO reporting line as the function matures Subordinates: To be defined and built by the role-holder Work Location: Beirut, Lebanon / Limassol, Cyprus / Dubai, UAE Who We Are Swiss Butter is a fast-growing casual steakhouse brand focused on delivering exceptional dining experiences across the globe. Our mission is to create memorable moments for our customers through our signature dishes and strong connection to the communities we serve. Join us as we continue to grow into a globally recognized and loved brand. Summary of Position The People & Culture Director is the architect of the people systems that enable Swiss Butter to scale across multiple countries as a company-owned, decentralized operating group. The role designs and governs the organizational infrastructure that lets each Head of Department own people execution within their function, while ensuring consistency, quality, and leadership readiness across all markets. Core mandates include organizational design, compensation architecture, manpower planning, succession systems, Academy governance, HRIS and ATS infrastructure, and decentralized accountability frameworks. The People & Culture Director ensures the organization is structurally ready to expand, with leadership capacity established ahead of opening cadence rather than in response to it. The guiding principle of the function is clear: People & Culture owns the system; operators own the people. Operating Model & Centralization Boundary Swiss Butter is a company-owned, decentralized operating group. People & Culture is decentralized by default: hiring, promotion, performance management, exit, and day-to-day people decisions are owned and executed by Heads of Department and market leads, within group standards. The function centralizes only what must be centralized to control audit, statutory, and group-consistency risk. Centralizing the system of record and the standard is not the same as centralizing the decision. The Director centralizes the record and the standard, and pushes every decision that can be safely distributed to the operator who owns the outcome. The following boundary is a non-negotiable feature of the role, not a phase-one compromise. Centralized by Mandate (P&C owns the system, the standard, and the record) Employee master data and the single HRIS system of record. One record per employee, one set of service dates, one leave-balance ledger across all entities. Operators write into it; they do not keep parallel or local records. This is the primary audit control. Statutory liability and compliance tracking: end-of-service, leave, GOSI and social security, visa and work-permit validity, and the underlying calculations. These are accounting liabilities and cross-jurisdiction compliance obligations, not people-management choices, and they must be owned centrally and reconciled to Finance. Grading and pay-band architecture: the levels and bands, the compensation philosophy, and the benchmarking method are designed and governed centrally. Pay decisions within an approved band are an operator decision. Group standards for hiring, succession methodology, and SB Academy certification: the definition of what good looks like, so a certified leader means the same thing in every market. Selection and development against those standards are executed by operators. Decentralized to Operators (Heads of Department and Market Leads own the people) Who to hire, promote, and exit, within group standards and approved bands. Day-to-day performance management, coaching, and team development. Running the market-entry hiring playbook locally, and owning their own succession depth, held accountable centrally but executed locally. Key Performance Areas (KPAs) Organizational Design & Operating Model Compensation Architecture & Manpower Planning People Systems & Data Infrastructure Talent Acquisition & Workforce Readiness Leadership Development & the Academy Succession & Leadership Pipeline Performance Management & Calibration Decentralized Accountability & Governance Expansion & New-Market Readiness Duties & Responsibilities Organizational Design & Operating Model Design the decentralized operating model, defining decision rights, guardrails, and escalation paths across all functions and markets. Establish the framework through which Heads of Department own people execution within their areas of responsibility. Maintain organizational clarity across entities, ensuring structure keeps pace with expansion. Compensation Architecture & Manpower Planning Develop and govern a global grading and pay-band structure, mapped and benchmarked across all operating markets. Define the compensation philosophy and ensure pay decisions remain consistent, competitive, and defensible. Build the manpower planning model, aligning headcount and hiring lead times to the expansion pipeline, in partnership with Finance. People Systems & Data Infrastructure Implement our in-house HRIS and ATS platforms to replace manual processes with scalable infrastructure. Establish a single, reliable source of employee data across all markets. Build reporting that supports leadership-level workforce and people-cost decisions. Talent Acquisition & Workforce Readiness Define hiring standards, selection criteria, and certification gates applied consistently across markets. Establish a market-entry people playbook covering hiring, onboarding, and opening readiness for each new location. Ensure operators are equipped to source and select talent within agreed standards. Leadership Development & the Academy Govern the SB Academy as the group's leadership development and operational certification function. Establish operational certification and train-the-trainer systems that replicate leadership capability across markets. Align Academy output to expansion demand, measuring certified leadership capacity produced against opening requirements. Succession & Leadership Pipeline Establish the succession methodology and review cadence covering all critical roles. Ensure every critical role has an identified and developing successor. Hold Heads of Department accountable for maintaining leadership depth within their functions. Performance Management & Calibration Design the performance management and calibration framework applied consistently across all markets. Ensure managers run performance cycles on time and link outcomes to development decisions. Connect performance results to promotion, succession, and pay decisions. </p></div></section><section><p class="heading">Desired Candidate Profile</p><p class="paragraph"></p><p>Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, Organizational Development, or a related field (Master's degree is a plus). 10+ years of progressive experience in People & Culture, Human Resources, or Organizational Development, including senior leadership scope.

Blockchain can “revolutionize processes in various areas, from finance to trade and from government public services to humanitarian work,” with strong potential to accelerate SDG progress if aligned with national priorities . Blockchain introduces new systems of trust and exchange, enhancing transparency, accountability and efficiency in areas such as supply chains, financial inclusion, identity systems and aid delivery. It enables sustainable infrastructure investment by improving visibility of climate-related actions, aligning stakeholders and facilitating financing for low carbon development. Globally, blockchain is expected to drive profound digital transformation across economic systems, governance structures and international collaboration. Blockchain will reshape how “businesses, governments and societies interact,” particularly in trade facilitation, supply-chain transparency, digital identity and cross border financial systems. It could transform social interaction, public institutions and economic models, affecting countries’ ability to pursue sustainable development pathways and participate in global value chains. Regionally, its impact is closely tied to digital transformation agendas and governance reforms. It empowers the development of smart sustainable cities and digital economies, covering sectors such as energy, health, and transportation. Two widely cited cases illustrate the practical value of blockchain. First, Estonia represents a leading global example of blockchain-enabled digital government: the country uses blockchain to protect national data systems and ensure integrity across services such as healthcare, property registries and legal records, enabling secure, efficient and trusted e-Government services . Second, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) provides a prominent case supported by the World Economic Forum (WEF) . Through initiatives like the Dubai Blockchain Strategy and multiple public and private sector applications, blockchain has been deployed in areas such as trade facilitation, payments, health services and secure data exchange, supported by strong governance frameworks and multi stakeholder collaboration For Libya, developing a coherent blockchain policy is essential to capture these opportunities while managing risks. Integrating blockchain into developed systems could strengthen public administration, reduce corruption risks, and improve service delivery. This would contribute to inclusive and sustainable development rather than fragmented or high risk deployment. The General Information Authority (GIA) in Libya requested the technical assistance of ESCWA to develop the national blockchain policy. The objective of this consultancy is to provide an advisory service to assist ESCWA team in suggesting the national blockchain policy to the Authority. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The consultant shall propose to the designated ESCWA focal point a detailed version of the blockchain policy. To produce the draft policy, the consultant is requested to conduct, among others, the main following tasks: 1. Review the national digital documents and the existing policies and strategies in Libya related to digital transformation, innovation, digital technologies, and other related national development plans; 2. Review best regional and international best practices related to blockchain policies and frameworks (at least 2 selected regional and 2 international cases); 3. Identify main national stakeholders, hold, in coordination with GIA, interviews and meetings with the main national stakeholders and preparing minutes of each meeting/interview summarizing the discussed points, their remarks, observations and proposals; 4. Contribute to sectoral workshops to discuss needs and priorities, if needed; 5. Prepare the needed policy based on international and regional best practices, gap analysis, national needs (SWOT analysis); 6. Present the draft report in a national workshop or meeting (physically or remotely) and capture the main comments and findings of the discussions; 7. Update the draft proposal according to all received feedback and comments during the reviewing process by ESCWA and GIA. ESCWA promotes gender equality and integration of youth through its publications and therefore the consultant should pay attention, with the help of ESCWA staff, to gender considerations and youth dimension throughout the research work to ensure that the report gives equal attention to the needs of both men and women, as well as girls and boys.
