Partner with leaders across Europe and other global teams, providing practical, commercially informed advice on people management, performance, and organisational matters.
Strengthen performance management practices and help managers establish clear expectations, reinforce accountability, address underperformance, and support continuous improvement.
Guide leaders and employees through organisational change, transformation, consultation processes, and employee transitions.
Support difficult people decisions and conversations, helping teams navigate uncertainty while maintaining clarity, resilience, and focus on business outcomes.
Manage employee relations and employment compliance, taking ownership of German employment law matters and coordinating with local specialists for France and other regions when needed.
Lead end-to-end talent acquisition across the organisation, including proactive sourcing, candidate assessment, and recruitment for critical positions, particularly in engineering and product.
Improve people operations, onboarding processes, and the overall employee experience to support a high-performing, globally distributed workforce.
Contribute to workforce planning and identify the people capabilities required to support organisational priorities and future growth.
Help leaders develop their teams, strengthen leadership effectiveness, and maintain high performance standards across the organisation.
