You as part of tonies:

At tonies, everything revolves around stories – they are at the heart of what we do. However, our success isn't just based on technology and creative ideas, but primarily on the passionate people who bring these stories to life every day.
To ensure we continue to grow healthily, we are looking for you as a People Operations Manager.

In this role, you are the organizational backbone of our People & Culture team. You pull the strings behind the scenes, ensure clean data, and optimize the systems that enable our global team to perform at their best.

Your tasks and responsibilities will include:

• Employee Lifecycle Management: You ensure a first-class experience for our employees. You manage all administrative steps – from the initial contract and changes during their career to appreciative offboarding and the creation of reference letters.
• Payroll & Benefits: You have a handle on the numbers. You maintain all salary and benefit data and work hand-in-hand with our external partners for preparatory payroll accounting. Your goal: 100% accuracy and punctuality.
• Onboarding Support: You share responsibility for a perfect start at tonies. You coordinate our Buddy Program and newcomer meetings to ensure new "Tonies" feel welcome from day one.
• HR Systems & Data Quality: As a "power user" for our HRIS (Personio), you ensure our digital personnel files are always up to date and comply with all legal requirements.
• Processes & Innovation: You have a drive to make things better. You challenge existing workflows, reduce manual effort, and leverage the potential of automation and AI to make our work more efficient.
• Knowledge Management: You make sure important information is easy to find. You expand our self-service resources so the team can find answers to HR questions quickly and independently.

What we are looking for:

• HR Background: You bring solid experience in HR administration and are well-versed in labor law and employee lifecycle processes. Experience with payroll, social security and company pension schemes is a plus.
• Passion for Tech & Tools: You enjoy working with modern HR systems. If you already know Personio, that's great – otherwise, you are a quick learner when it comes to new tools.
• Structure & Composure: Even when things get busy, you keep an overview. You work very conscientiously and manage to juggle different tasks and deadlines with ease.
• Empathy & Service Mindset: You see yourself as an internal service provider and enjoy supporting our colleagues with competence and care.
• Problem-Solver Mentality: You don't wait for things to happen; you tackle topics proactively and enjoy constantly developing processes.
• Communication: Since we work internationally, you communicate confidently in both German and English.
