ABOUT THE ROLE
We're looking for a proactive People Manager (m/f/d) to join us on a 12-month fixed-term contract to cover maternity leave to start mid- September.
In this role, you'll be the main point of contact for over 40 employees and managers in our UK entity, taking ownership of day-to-day People operations and ensuring our UK team receives expert, hands-on People support. Working closely with our global People team in Germany, you'll ensure UK People processes are compliant, employee-focused and run smoothly.
For this hands-on HR generalist role we're looking for someone who can quickly build relationships, work independently and confidently manage People matters from day one in a fast-paced, growing business.
YOUR KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Be the trusted People partner for our UK team, acting as the first point of contact for employees and managers across all day-to-day People matters.
- Deliver a first-class employee experience by managing onboarding and offboarding in collaboration with global Talent Acquisition, IT and hiring managers.
- Drive the day-to-day delivery of People Operations across our UK entities, ensuring processes are compliant, efficient and employee-focused.
- Prepare and maintain all UK employment documentation, ensuring employee records and HR systems remain accurate, compliant and up to date.
- Coordinate monthly payroll inputs with our Finance team and external payroll provider, ensuring employees are paid accurately and on time.
- Own employee relations cases from start to finish, including absence management, performance, disciplinary, grievance, family leave and flexible working.
- Provide practical, commercially minded advice to global managers on UK employment law, policies and People best practices.
- Partner closely with our global People team to coordinate UK-specific People initiatives and ensure local requirements are implemented seamlessly.
- Help bring our culture to life by supporting engagement & wellbeing initiatives across our growing UK team.
- Continuously look for smarter, more efficient ways of working, improving People processes as we continue to grow.
