You'll manage communication with tax authorities, immigration offices, and other Swiss government institutions in German.
You'll maintain and continuously improve our HRIS, Personio, keeping data accurate, workflows efficient, and automations meaningful.
You'll respond to employee questions related to contracts, benefits, and HR policies with clarity, empathy, and responsiveness.
You'll manage complex initiatives end-to-end, navigating ambiguity, aligning stakeholders across People, Finance, and Legal, and driving outcomes from initial discussion to completion.
