We are looking for: Business partnering with impact.

Starting June 2026, we are looking for you!

You believe HR should not only appear when there is already a fire, but be where leadership, change, and decisions arise?

Then read on.

We are looking for someone who advises leaders, recognizes connections, navigates labor law confidently, and does not switch off even in complex situations. Someone who does not see HR as a parallel world but as an effective part of the operation. You are a sparring partner for leaders, think along with succession issues, structural topics, and personnel decisions, bring HR in where the course is set, and not only when everything is already on the table. You accompany changes with clarity and implementation power instead of buzzwords, conduct even difficult conversations professionally and with composure, keeping both people and business in view. And yes, processes are also part of it, but not as an end in themselves. Because good HR does not live from forms but from functioning.
