Job Description

About the Role - Maternity Cover

Step into a senior strategic HR Admin leadership position reporting directly to the Lead of Work & Life for Europe. This fixed-term role offers immediate impact, high visibility, and the chance to lead a meaningful transformation within a defined timeframe.

You will lead the Work & Life teams across DACH and North Central Europe, managing both local and remote teams while acting as a trusted partner to senior stakeholders across multiple countries.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Strategic Transformation Ownership – Lead the integration of Talent Acquisition Admin team into our HR Administration structure — a high-profile change initiative with measurable, short-term outcomes.
• Executive Exposure – Engage directly with country-level stakeholders and navigate complex, multi-market dynamics.
• Defined Impact – Drive change and see tangible results within the contract period.

How You Will Contribute

• Lead the Talent Acquisition integration into the Work & Life structure, managing change across multiple countries
• Act as the key point of contact for regional stakeholders, building trust through diplomacy and influence
• Oversee compliance monitoring, quality assurance, and data protection activities
• Ensure effective use of enabling technology, including case management tools
• Implement and monitor quality standards, adjusting KPIs and SLAs to drive continuous improvement
• Coach, motivate, and inspire both local and remote teams, managing individual performance and fostering accountability

What You Bring

Must-Have

• Proven experience leading teams within a Shared Services Centre (SSC) or BPO environment
• Track record of leading organisational transformations within HR operations
• Exceptional executive presence and stakeholder management — ability to navigate multi-cultural environments with diplomacy and high EQ
• Experience managing local and remote/distributed teams
• Fluent in English; German or other European languages are a strong advantage

Nice-to-Have

• Experience in the DACH / North Central Europe region
• Familiarity with HR technology platforms
