Partner with the HRIS Specialist and HR Generalist to ensure accurate HR data, compliance and practical reporting
Support on complex cases

What you’ll bring
5+ years’ experience in international HR operations (multi-country) with proven end-to-end ownership of processes
Degree in HR, Business or related field
Strong knowledge of multi-country employment practices, plus payroll/benefits and HR systems
Fluency in English and good working proficiency in German
Analytical, structured and pragmatic; strong ownership and problem-solving mindset
Strong stakeholder and vendor management; balance global consistency with local needs
Comfortable in an international, distributed environment; curious mindset and openness to learn
Interest in using AI / automation to simplify work
Experience in a commercial or sales-driven environment
Knowledge of EU labour legislation
What you’ll get
A key role in building and scaling global HR operations across multiple countries with broad organizational impact
Real impact: simplify processes and remove unnecessary complexity
Flexible location within Germany
Close collaboration with international stakeholders across HR, finance and sales
Competitive senior-level compensation package aligned with the German market and the scope of the role.
Flexible working practices and culture that supports learning, development and long-term growth
