**About You**:

- At least 5 years experience in HR and office management, preferably in Austria
- Experience managing HRIS (Human Resources Information Systems) and employee data management

**About the Role**:

Keep our HR systems accurate and our employee records organized.
- **Drive Compliance & Contracts**: Ensure we're compliant with European employment law, health and safety regulations, and local requirements. Partner with external lawyers and accountants, prepare employment agreements, and support payroll processing to keep everything running smoothly.
- **Partner with Leadership on People Strategy**: Act as an HR business partner to European leaders, using data to drive decisions. Track and analyze key metrics—eNPS, turnover, performance data, hiring forecasts—to identify trends, flag risks, and recommend actions that improve our People Operations.
- **Shape Culture & Engagement**: Be the go-to person for employee questions and concerns. Mediate conflicts, implement engagement strategies, coordinate team events, and promote our values of diversity and inclusion. Track what makes people stay and what makes them leave—then act on it.
