Job description

Make an impact where people and business meet

At LEM, we believe that business success starts with people.

Based in Germany, you will support a population of around 70 employees located in Germany, France, Italy, Denmark, Belgium, Austria and the UK. While Germany represents the largest employee population, you will play a key role in supporting and connecting teams across the region.

The position can be handled from our offices in Gross-Gerau or in Munich.

Reporting directly to the Vice President Human Resources and partnering closely with the stakeholders in Sales, R&D and Supply Chain, you will help shape the people agenda, strengthen leadership capabilities and contribute to the continued success of our businesses.

This role offers broad ownership and visibility. As the primary HR partner for your scope, you will manage the full employee lifecycle end-to-end, from talent acquisition and onboarding to performance management, employee relations, organisational development, talent reviews, compensation discussions and compliance matters. Payroll administration is managed through external providers, allowing you to focus on delivering high-impact HR support to the business.

This is a unique opportunity to join a collaborative HR team where your ideas, expertise and initiative will have a visible impact.

• Help foster a high-performing and collaborative culture.

Talent & Employee Experience

• Own the full employee lifecycle, from recruitment and onboarding to development, performance management and offboarding.
• Lead talent acquisition activities and support succession planning, talent reviews and career development discussions.
• Drive talent, engagement and leadership initiatives that contribute directly to business success.
• Support both commercial and innovation-focused teams that drive growth and technological excellence across Europe.

Employee Relations & Compliance

• Serve as the primary HR contact for managers and employees within your scope.
• Manage employee relations matters with professionalism, pragmatism and sound judgement.
• Ensure compliance with local employment legislation and company policies across the region.

HR Operations & Transformation

• Coordinate key HR processes, including compensation reviews and annual people cycles.
• Contribute to HR digitalisation, process improvement and transformation initiatives.
• Participate in strategic Group HR projects with international visibility.
• Combine strategic thinking with hands-on execution while enjoying broad autonomy and ownership.
