- Manage Knowledge & Content: Eliminate operational bottlenecks and maintain clear, transparent team documentation (e.g., Confluence) to drive clarity and efficiency across the business.
- Deliver Global Initiatives: Partner with global cross-functional teams to align on background check processes and ensure smooth delivery of Wise-specific policies (e.g., Sabbatical Policy).
This role offers you the opportunity to:
- Serve as a Core Employee Partner: Act as a primary contact for employee queries, leave policies, benefits, medical checks, and non-routine case exceptions.
- Lead Quality & Mentorship: Perform four-eye accuracy checks, mentor junior team members, and provide reliable operational backup support across the team.
- Champion Operational Audit & Compliance: Support internal and external audits while implementing necessary operational updates to maintain full legal compliance.
- Scale Global Projects: Participate in local and global cross-team projects designed to scale operations and leverage HR technology.
A bit about you:
- Education & Expertise: You hold a university degree (preferably in HR, Economics, or a related field) and possess solid, hands-on knowledge of Hungarian employment legislation.
- Bilingual Communicator: You possess excellent written and verbal communication skills in both Hungarian and English.
- Customer & Employee Experience Focus: You bring a customer-centric mindset with a genuine passion for delivering high-quality employee support and creating exceptional workplace experiences.
- Tech & Automation Drive: You have a passion for HR technology, data accuracy, and leveraging automation to reduce manual tasks across systems like Workday, Jira, and Confluence.

We expect new joiners in the office most days to build connections and learn from colleagues for their first six months. After that, most Wisers split their working week between the office and home, typically coming in at least 12 times a month.
