European HR Leader - Germany - Frankfurt work base, Germany

ROLE FILLED - HIGH PERFORMANCE LEADER COMMENCED AFTER SUCCESSFUL EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT OFFER

We're seeking an HR professional for a dynamic multinational company in growth mode.  

The scope of the role will immediately cover Europe, with no shortage of challenge due to workforces being scattered over 20 countries. Additionally, the company plans to again double its size within the country in a short space of time, and we need a HR leader who can work with management teams to make that happen. 

Immediate work priorities include building solutions for talent development, hiring, building more robust frameworks to allow for scale, and plenty of involvement with European and global projects as well. Other demands, in addition to managing a small HR team, include instigating career development pathways for this niche skilled workforce, and supporting sales leaders to attract, engage and retain key talent.

Advanced knowledge of German employment legislation will be critical, and any other jurisdictional knowledge of Europe countries will be useful. A history of supporting technical and/or sales workforces would be highly regarded.  Fluent German and English language skills will be essential.

This person will need strong change and OD expertise, and if offering career mobility, this person will have excellent career progression potential within the company globally.

The culture for the HR team globally is interesting – more about having a solutions focus rather than being “policy police”.

Realistically, whilst this HR leader will be expected to be a strategic support partner, the reality is that in this company’s rapid phase of growth, and with HR systems, policies, processes and initiatives still being developed; that an element of “hands on” work can be expected in the short term.

Based from the Frankfurt area of Germany, this person will enjoy a hybrid work arrangement with 3 days office based and 2 days from home. The salary will start from €110,000 with a range upwards depending on experience level, plus package and relocation support within the EU region if necessary.
