About the Position
We're looking for a Senior Talent Development Partner to own and scale the programs that help our teams and managers perform at their best. You'll run performance cycles, analyze data to inform decisions, manage compensation and benefits, and support mid-level leaders through coaching and resources.
This role combines operational rigor with strategic people work. You'll build scalable systems while partnering with managers during critical moments. As a core member of the People & Org team, you'll shape how we develop our culture and leadership capabilities.
Responsibilities:
* Performance & Compensation Systems Own bi-annual performance review cycles—planning, communications, calibration, and insights reporting. Manage equity administration (Ledgy), benefits platforms (Belonio, bAV, perks), and maintain the leveling framework that ensures consistent standards across the organization.
* Learning & Development Infrastructure Manage the L&D budget, optimize training investments, and execute ad hoc programs that build manager capability. Drive culture programs and reinforce company values through strategic learning interventions.
* People Business Partnering Enable mid-level managers (L3-L4) to lead effectively—onboarding support, performance coaching, change management, and ownership of the People Manager Hub. Handle performance cases (PIPs, terminations) with clear documentation and care for both employee and business outcomes.
* People Analytics & Insights Maintain P&O KPI dashboards, curate quarterly insights reports, and turn HRIS, performance, and engagement data into insights. Own data retention, archival, and ensure leadership has the metrics they need to make informed people decisions.
About You
* Experience: 3-5 years in People Ops, HR Business Partnering, or Talent Development
* HRIS expertise: Hands-on experience with platforms like Personio, Leapsome, Belonio, etc.
* Benefits & comp administration: Experience managing benefits vendors, equity platforms, and compensation cycles
* Data analysis: Proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets, building dashboards, and turning people data into insights
* Systems thinker: You build repeatable processes, document clearly, and automate where possible
* Comfortable with ambiguity: You can navigate change, make decisions with incomplete information, adjust quickly, and can lead others through transitions with confidence.
* Ownership mindset: You don't wait to be told what to do—you spot problems and ship pragmatic solutions, and iterate fast.
* Coaching mindset: You enable others to grow, not just solve problems for them
* Language: Fluent in English; German at working proficiency (mind. B2)
