Job Description:

We are looking for an experienced and passionate People Operations Partner to join our People Team and create unique employee journeys at Appinio that reflect our special culture while enabling international growth. As a People Operations Partner, you will be the key driver to ensure our employee life is hassle-free from the day-to-day world by turning the typical "HR Services" work into what feels like a "prime" experience, surpassing conventional HR expectations. You will challenge the status quo and prioritise real talent issues, setting global foundational processes and frameworks that our internal customers love. You will take ownership from day 1 and have a tangible impact on the business.

Job Responsibility:

Own and drive the full employee experience across Europe (from contract management and onboarding to offboarding, and day-to-day employee requests) while delivering an outstanding employee experience
Manage our payroll processes in Germany and Austria in close collaboration with external tax offices
Partner with our EOR provider (Remote) to ensure smooth onboarding, compliant contracts, and accurate processes across countries
Support audits and ensure accurate, compliant employee data within our HRIS
Identify opportunities to automate, streamline, and simplify processes, including the use of AI tools
Take ownership of broader People Operations topics such as policy updates, tool rollouts and process documentation
Work closely with IT, Finance, and Legal to ensure seamless cross-functional processes, compliance, and a smooth employee lifecycle
If you are based in Hamburg, you will support with office-related topics

Requirements:

Hold a degree in Business Administration, Economics, HR Management, or related fields
3+ years of experience in a People Operations or HR role within a fast-paced, international environment
Proficient in German & English (additional language skills are a plus)
Experience with HRIS systems (ideally Personio or HiBob) for managing employee data and HR processes
Strong expertise - and genuine passion - for the operational side of People, while actively challenging traditional “HR admin” approaches (e.g. onboarding, offboarding, and employee lifecycle management)
Hands-on payroll experience in Germany (experience with Austria, France, Spain, or the UK is a plus)
Experience working with ticketing systems, managing SLAs, and handling employee requests in a structured, people-oriented way
Live ownership: You proactively identify improvement areas and explore scalable, smart solutions
Combine empathy with excellent organisational skills and a pragmatic, solution-oriented mindset
Communicate clearly and confidently, and enjoy making processes more efficient and impactful

Nice to have:

Experience with Austria, France, Spain, or the UK payroll is a plus
Additional language skills are a plus

What we offer:

Flexibility Policy - Our flexibility policy means there is no hard cap on the number of vacation days you can take
Temporary work from abroad - If you're based in the EU, you can work outside your country of residence for up to 180 days per year
All the hardware you need and your own MacBook
If you are located in Hamburg or Berlin, you'll get a Deutschland ticket or access to a mobility budget with the NAVIT app to get you to and from the office space
If you are located in Germany or Spain, you will have access to a Subsidised Urban Sports Club membership
In case you’re located in one of the cities where most of our fellow Appinioneers are (Hamburg, Berlin, Munich, London, Madrid, Barcelona, or New York), you can get access to our Co-working spaces
