Your mission

As an HR Generalist (m/f/d), you are a central contact person for employees and managers in Switzerland and independently responsible for defined support areas in the system headquarters in Zurich as well as in the Swiss main studios. If necessary, you also support our physiotherapy and have the opportunity to contribute your expertise to the further development of our HR processes and systems as well as selected HR projects.

What you achieve

• As a contact person for employees and managers, you accompany the entire employee lifecycle in your support areas, advise on personnel-related, labour law and organisational issues, and conduct employee discussions as well as individual personnel measures.

• You prepare labour law documents such as contracts and references precisely and reliably in close coordination with the legal department. In addition, you ensure careful and data protection-compliant maintenance and archiving of personnel data and documents.

• Together with our fiduciary and finance team, you are responsible for preparing payroll accounting, handle topics related to social insurance and participate in audits, annual financial statements as well as in exchanges with authorities and insurance companies.

• In working time and absence management, you keep an overview, answer questions about time recording in Abacus and ensure compliance with legal and operational requirements, for example in cases of illness and in cooperation with insurance companies.

• With your expertise, your sensitivity for people and your solution-oriented advice, you support managers in their personnel responsibilities and contribute to a positive employee experience as well as a trusting collaboration.

• In addition, you are responsible for recruitment for the system headquarters in Zurich as well as deputising for physiotherapy. You work with our HR system Abacus and the applicant management system Recruitee, bring ideas to optimise our processes and participate in selected HR initiatives, for example in the areas of employer branding, onboarding and offboarding processes as well as employee retention.

   

What makes you stand out

• You have a solid HR education, for example a commercial basic training with further education as an HR specialist with a federal diploma or a comparable qualification.

• Several years of experience in a generalist HR role give you confidence in accompanying the entire employee lifecycle. Ideally, you have gained this experience in an SME or service environment.

• You are confident and pragmatic in Swiss labour law and social insurance and bring experience in topics such as payroll administration, withholding tax and official audits.

• Empathy, discretion and a strong service orientation characterise you. You advise employees and managers competently, solution-oriented and on an equal footing. You communicate fluently in German and have good English skills; French skills are an advantage.

• You work in a structured, independent manner and with a high quality standard. Even in demanding situations, you keep an overview, think holistically and find pragmatic solutions.

• You are enthusiastic about digital HR processes and modern systems. You are familiar with HR tools such as Abacus, Recruitee or comparable applications as well as MS Office. At the same time, you enjoy questioning existing processes and continuously developing them.

What to expect from us

• Scope for design instead of standard solutions: Look forward to a versatile generalist role with personal responsibility, where you can actively shape HR work, take on responsibility and contribute your own ideas.

• Collaboration on equal terms: You will find a committed HR DACH team, an open informal culture, short decision-making paths and direct exchange with employees and managers.

• Flexibility that connects: We offer you the possibility to work from home once a week based on full-time employment – for a balanced mix of presence and flexible working.
