About the Role

We’re seeking a Regional People Partner to help shape and drive our people strategy across Latin America. You’ll join a growing team of around 50 employees - primarily in Chile, Brazil, and Uruguay - and play a pivotal role in preparing the region for exponential growth.

As a close partner to the Regional Director (to whom you will report directly), you’ll be instrumental in building the HR function from the ground up, balancing hands-on HR delivery with strategic foresight. Functionally, you will also report in a dotted-line relationship to the Head of Regional People Management, based at our global headquarters in Germany. You’ll work closely with the Corporate People Management Community to bring company-wide HR standards and initiatives to life in the Latin American context.

If you're energized by the opportunity to scale operations, co-create structures, and influence organizational culture, this is a role where you can make a real impact.

What You’ll Do

• Act as a trusted HR advisor to managers in all operational and strategic HR matters and ensure appreciative employee relations conduct across the region.
• Collaborate directly with the Regional Director to shape the people and organizational roadmap.
• Partner with the Head of Regional People Management and Global Corporate HR to align regional practices with global strategy.
• Manage and ensure a positive employee experience in all aspects of the employee lifecycle: recruitment, onboarding, development, engagement, and offboarding.
• Guide local leaders on workforce planning, team structures, and organizational development.
• Ensure compliance with local labor laws and company-wide HR standards.
• Champion our values and drive a strong, cohesive culture.
• Support and oversee payroll and HR administration for quality and compliance with local legal requirements as well as Bürkert Code of Conduct.
• Contribute to global HR initiatives and adapt them for regional relevance.
• Lead and support change processes to help the region scale effectively.

What You Bring

• Approx. 5 years of HR experience, ideally in operational roles within dynamic, growing organizations.
• Strong understanding of employment law and HR best practices across Latin America.
• Excellent communication skills in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
• Ability to balance day-to-day HR delivery with strategic thinking.
• Collaborative mindset, with a proactive and independent working style.
• Bachelor's degree in HR, Business Administration, or a related field.

Why Join Us?

You’ll be instrumental in building the HR foundation for a region on the brink of significant growth. This is more than a role—it’s a chance to shape the future, partner closely with regional and global leadership, and grow with an organization where your ideas and actions truly matter.
