You'll help create a seamless employee experience from day one, ensuring our processes are accurate, compliant, and built to scale. As an expert on Swiss employment law, you'll bring clarity and confidence to complex topics while helping employees, managers, and People Partners navigate every stage of the employee lifecycle.
This is a part time (60-80%) role, for an 8-month fixed term contract with an ideal start date in September or October 2026.

You'll support the full employee lifecycle administration for our Swiss entity, including contracts, employee changes, offboarding, and leave management, ensuring every step is compliant, accurate, and handled with care.
You'll own People Operations for our French entity in close collaboration with our local payroll provider, ensuring compliance, contracts, and day-to-day administration run smoothly.
You'll serve as a go-to expert on Swiss labor law, providing guidance on employment contracts, termination procedures, parental leave, and everything in between.
You'll manage communication with tax authorities, immigration offices, and other Swiss government institutions in German.
You'll maintain and continuously improve our HRIS, Personio, keeping data accurate, workflows efficient, and automations meaningful.
You'll respond to employee questions related to contracts, benefits, and HR policies with clarity, empathy, and responsiveness.
You'll manage complex initiatives end-to-end, navigating ambiguity, aligning stakeholders across People, Finance, and Legal, and driving outcomes from initial discussion to completion.
You'll contribute to a culture of continuous improvement by identifying opportunities to simplify processes, improve ways of working, and explore how new technologies, including AI, can help reduce manual work and increase efficiency.
