Are you an experienced HR Business Partner (f/m/d) who enjoys building trusted partnerships with the business? Do you combine strong German labour law knowledge with a pragmatic, people-focused approach to change and organisational development? Then this is the right opportunity for you!

Your position
In your new position as HR Business Partner, you will become part of our German HR team and support our journey towards one strong Service organisation across our German locations. You will act as a trusted partner to leaders and employees, bringing structure, transparency and practical HR guidance into a fast-growing and changing environment.

This role gives you the opportunity to work across the full HR spectrum — from employee relations, labour law and works council collaboration to organisational development, integration topics and core HR processes. You will help lay the foundation for further growth while shaping how HR supports the business in a clear, consistent and value-driven way.

Your place of work will be our beautiful, fast-growing, central office in Hamburg. The position is full-time, and you can expect to travel about 10% of your working time.

Your tasks & responsibilities
As an HR Business Partner, you will work closely with leaders across the Service organisation and provide hands-on HR support on people, organisation and change-related topics.

Your tasks will include but are not limited to:

• Advising leaders on German labour law, employee relations, contractual matters and works council-related topics to ensure pragmatic and compliant solutions
• Supporting the integration of teams, processes and HR frameworks as part of the One Service organisation to create consistency, transparency and alignment
• Driving and supporting organisational change, including role clarifications, communication, stakeholder alignment and implementation of new ways of working
• Contributing to core HR processes such as performance management, salary review, talent development, succession planning and employee engagement
• Identifying people-related risk and improvement areas and translate insights into practical actions that support stability, growth and a strong leadership culture

Your profile & qualifications
We are looking for a communicative, structured and emotionally intelligent HR Business Partner who can build trust at all levels of the organisation. You are confident in advising leaders, diplomatic in sensitive situations and pragmatic when turning complex HR topics into workable solutions.

To succeed in this position, we imagine that you have:

• Strong knowledge of German labour law, employment processes and collaboration with works councils
• Experience in change management, organisational development and stakeholder management
