Department OverviewHR Generalist (m/f/d)
Motorola Solutions is seeking a highly motivated and emerging professional to join our team as an HR Generalist. In this role, you will be a key player within the Central Europe & Southern Africa HR team, with a primary focus on driving HR excellence and operational stability within Germany.
Job Description

In this role, you will grow into the role to be a HR anchor for our German operations. You will manage the dual challenge of mastering high-level strategic advisory while ensuring the "nuts and bolts" of HR operations and German compliance are executed with precision.

• You are responsible for the entire employee journey—from sophisticated onboarding and contract management to complex offboarding processes.

• You will simultaneously manage day-to-day administrative "deep dives" and high-level strategic questions. There is no "too small" or "too big" in this role.

• You will advise managers on performance management, team development, and organizational design, growing your impact as you integrate into the Motorola Solutions culture.

• You will be an important point of contact for the Works Council (Betriebsrat), support negotiations, work on relevant adjustments related to law changes and policies, e.g. data protection and ensuring a professional, trust-based collaboration.

• You will support HR-related audits (e.g., Wage Tax) and stay ahead of changes in German labor law to ensure 100% compliance.

• As a key representative of the HR team in Germany, you provide the stable, reliable presence needed for our employees and managers on the ground.

Basic Requirements

• Education & Experience: Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field—or equivalent practical experience in a professional business environment.

• The "Dual-Track" Mindset: You possess a genuine interest in a diverse range of topics—you are as comfortable diving into the details of a wage tax audit or data analysis as you are engaging in strategic leadership discussions.

• Change & Resilience: A strong mindset for change is essential. You are adaptable, remain stable during transitions, and view organizational evolution as an opportunity to grow.

• Solution-Oriented & Transparent: You are known for your honesty, transparency and willingness for cooperation. You don't just identify problems; you proactively communicate them and bring creative, compliant solutions to the table.

• Legal & Compliance Foundation: A solid understanding of German employment law and regulations is appreciated. You should have a natural curiosity for the complexities of compliance within a global matrix.

• Communication & Collaboration: Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to work independently while remaining a deeply integrated member of the team.

• Language skills: German - Fluent (written and spoken) is mandatory for local compliance and employee relations; English - Level B2 is required to collaborate effectively within our international organization.

• Multinational Context: Experience working in a multinational corporation is a plus, as it helps in navigating our global structures and diverse stakeholder landscape.

• In-depth knowledge of Social Security law and payroll accounting is preferred
