Jobbeschreibung

Via is using technology to transform transportation around the world. From changing a single person’s daily commute to reducing humanity’s collective environmental footprint — we’ve got huge goals.

As an HR Manager, you will support a portion of our 1,000 employee drivers across Germany, with a special focus on the 350+ who power our Hannover-based and the largest on-demand public transit service in the country, sprinti. Your responsibilities will span employee engagement, attraction, retention, recognition, HR support, training culture, and process optimization.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll jump in wherever needed - solving problems on the ground, supporting employees, and collaborating with our local Operations and global People teams to improve how we operate and scale.

This role requires travel to Hannover every other week

What You’ll Do:

• Manage all aspects of the employee driver journey, including issuing employment offers, registering employees in our systems, onboarding, performance management, training, disciplinary actions, leave management, and offboarding.
• Be the real-time problem solver: respond quickly to onsite issues, driver concerns, or operational blockers as they arise.
• Serve as a go-to point of contact for frontline employee support and questions: create a safe and respectful environment where employees feel heard, valued, and empowered, and produce necessary documents for them.
• Drive and deliver initiatives to boost employee engagement, recognition, retention, and elevate the overall employee experience.
• Collaborate with Operations teams to enhance driver satisfaction and business outcomes -such as improving shift attractiveness or reducing unplanned absence.
• Identify, improve, and implement scalable processes to streamline day-to-day HR operations.

Who You Are:

• Native level of German and advanced English (you’ll communicate with international colleagues on a daily basis and should be able to express yourself in English)
• Minimum 2 years in Human Resources, People Partnering, Employee Relations, Customer Service, Operations or equivalent
• Comfortable with digital tools and systems and quick to get up to speed with new platforms
• Empathetic, clear and transparent communicator with sound judgement, capable of navigating sensitive situations with professionalism.
• A reflex for action and a strong sense of ownership: you are proactive, identify gaps in process, and propose solutions with an excitement to own implementation and iteration.

What We Offer:

• Joining a global employer with over 750 mobility projects in 50+ countries
• Becoming part of a company that was awarded for its commitment to social good
• 30 vacation days a year
• Urban Sports Club membership
• Access to our offices in Berlin Mitte and in the center of Hannover
• The opportunity to truly have a positive impact on a large employee group and local communities
• Salary Range: €45,000-55,000 per year. Final salary will be determined by the candidate’s experience, knowledge, and skills.
