- Design new policies and deliver on business-critical HR-related projects globally.
What we are looking for in you:
- Exceptional academic track record from both high school and university.
- HR experience leading initiatives across regions within a technology business.
- Regional HR experience within EMEA (France, Germany, and/or UK is a plus), with an understanding of local labor laws, competitive awareness, and insights.
- Experience in business partnering with senior stakeholders.
- A good balance between leading and executing; in this role, you will need to be hands-on involved in the daily HR routines.
- Experience mentoring and developing others.
- Strong project management skills with the ability to define done and keep deliverables on track.
- Experience in working in a remote-first organization.
- Able to leverage data to make informed decisions.
- Fluent in business English (written and spoken).
- Self-motivated, organized, accurate, confident, authentic, results-oriented, open-minded, and enthusiastic.
- Willingness to travel up to 4 times a year for internal events.
Nice to have skills:
- Experience with immigration policies and mobility processes.

We provide all team members with additional benefits, which reflect our values and ideals. We balance our programs to meet local needs and ensure fairness globally.
