Senior HR Business Partner

About the role

Senior HR Business Partner reporting to the SVP People, acting as a true commercial partner to the business - translating people data into decisions, enabling international growth, and building a high-performance culture that scales across geographies.

What you'll do

• Partner directly with senior leaders to translate business goals into workforce plans, capability roadmaps, and productivity targets.
• Lead the HR workstream for international scale-up: entity vs. EOR decisions, cross-border employment law, compensation banding, benefits benchmarking, and onboarding frameworks for international hires.
• Design and run performance cycles, calibration sessions, and succession planning. Coach managers to raise the leadership bar across the company.
• Own the full analytics layer - attrition, eNPS, time-to-productivity, cost-per-hire - and use it to drive investment decisions.
• Act as the first point of escalation for complex ER cases across all locations. Own employment risk management across Germany and international entities.
• Actively use AI tools to multiply your own output and enable managers to do the same.

What you'll need

• 5+ years as a Senior HR Business Partner in an international high-growth SaaS or tech environment.
• Commercial mindset: model attrition costs, justify comp uplifts with data, and push back on hiring requests that lack a business case.
• Proven track record of developing managers and senior leaders.
• Comfortable in HRIS platforms (e.g. HiBob), spreadsheet modelling, and already using AI tools day-to-day.
• Experience with EOR structures, multi-jurisdiction benefits, and international employment frameworks.
• Solid working knowledge of German labour law and ability to navigate complex ER situations independently.
• Fluency in German and English (written and spoken).

Nice to have

• Scale-up stage experience and knowledge of what breaks first during significant growth phases.
