What the job involves

• We're looking for an enthusiastic HR Generalist to join our People & Culture team and take ownership of the full employee lifecycle across a distributed, international workforce. In this role, you will report to the Chief People Officer and act as a trusted partner to both managers and employees, combining strong operational execution with a genuine HRBP mindset
• You are someone who has worked across multiple countries, understands the nuances of different labor markets, and is already using AI as a core part of how you work, not as an add-on, but as a default
• Supporting the full employee lifecycle end-to-end: from pre-onboarding and day-one readiness through to offboarding, exit conversations, and clean process closure
• Working with a more Senior colleague on payroll coordination, compliance, and employee records across multiple jurisdictions, with clear shared ownership of tasks. Keeping all people data accurate and up to date across our tools (HiBob, Teamtailor, and Asana) so the team always has a single, reliable source of truth
• Supporting the HR team in continuously improving HR workflows using AI tools: identifying manual or repetitive processes and proposing automations that improve speed, accuracy, and employee experience. You proactively bring transformation ideas, not just execution
• Keeping processes and records aligned with local labor law requirements across Italy, Spain, Germany, and others. Supporting the drafting and review of employment contracts, working closely with labour law consultants to ensure compliance, clarity, and consistency. Proactively flagging risks before they escalate
• Overseeing engagement initiatives: running surveys, stay interviews, and pulse checks; and translating the data into concrete recommendations, providing feedback to the Chief People Officer
• Supporting the review and maintenance of salary grids, making sure our compensation framework stays fair, consistent, and aligned with the market as the team grows
• Being a reliable first point of contact for employees and managers navigating day-to-day HR questions, escalating where needed and supporting the team in building stronger, more trusted relationships across the business
• Helping coordinate promotion cycles and, when needed, providing support to dismissal processes
• Helping keep people engaged and motivated: running surveys and stay interviews to reduce turnover
• Managing the HR side of employer branding by proposing and analysing candidate experience surveys, and participating in internal communication activities
• Contributing to broader HR projects, including arranging offsites and internal events
