This is not a “sit back and maintain” HR role. This is for someone who loves being in a fast-moving environment where ideas turn into action - quickly. In this HR Business Partner role, you’ll work closely with managers, build structures where needed and directly see the impact of your work across the company. You'll be the face of HR for our teams - the go-to person for managers, supporting them, challenging them and helping them build strong, high-performing teams.

Whether you’ve been an HR coach, admin, advisor or junior HRBP, if you’re ready for that next step where you can really make an impact, this might be your moment. If you’ve worked in a startup or scale-up (or are excited to), and you’re ready for a role where you can truly make a difference, keep reading!

At the same time, we love bringing our teams together by organizing company events and team activities where we exchange ideas, build friendships and celebrate successes.
