About the role
Are you a highly entrepreneurial HR professional who thrives in the exciting scale-up phase for a dedicated project? Do you have the skill set to both build essential programs and refine existing operations for rapid, sustainable growth?
We now need a Senior HR Business Partner to step in and drive the next phase for a dedicated project: transitioning from initial setup to a sophisticated, scalable People organization.
This role requires a leader who is equally comfortable designing a new policy and executing a complex employee lifecycle task, and who can operate seamlessly in both German and English.
Your Responsibilities
You will own the maturation of our People function, focusing on optimizing existing processes while strategically designing and implementing new, critical programs.

● Contracts & Compliance: Handle the full scope of employee contract management. Ensure full legal and regulatory compliance in Germany/EU and draft, review, and standardize all necessary employment documents as we grow.
● Tool Development: Identify critical gaps in our current tool stack and implement new solutions for areas like Compensation Management, Learning & Development (L&D), or Employee Engagement.
Strategic Partnership & Talent Lifecycle
● Organizational Scaling: Serve as the trusted HRBP to the leadership team, providing guidance on organizational design, headcount planning, and change management strategies to support ambitious growth targets.
● Performance Evolution: Develop and implement the next generation of our performance management system—moving beyond basic checks to a comprehensive framework focused on continuous feedback, goal alignment, and high-performance culture.
● Culture & Values: Act as a core driver of our culture. Design and execute initiatives that foster deep employee engagement, promote our values, and ensure a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace.
● Employee Relations: Manage and resolve complex employee relations cases, providing expert coaching to managers to build their leadership capacity.
Essential Skills

● Location Prerequisite: Willingness to work mainly on-site in Munich to foster team cohesion and support a strong office-based culture.
● Language Prerequisite: Absolute fluency in both English and German (C1+ level) is required, both written and spoken, to handle legal documents, contracts, and internal communications.
● Proven hands-on experience in the full employee lifecycle, from contract creation and onboarding through strategic talent development.
● Expert practical knowledge of German labor law ($\text{Arbeitsrecht}$) and social security regulations.
● The ability to demonstrate success in both building new programs from scratch and optimizing existing basic operations.
● High proficiency with HRIS and the ability to leverage data to inform strategic decision-making.
● A resourceful, self-starter mentality combined with strong interpersonal and coaching skills.
