Your Role

As People Partner, you’ll help shape the employee experience at Qwist across the full People lifecycle.

The role has a strong People Operations foundation: you’ll own core topics such as payroll coordination, HR administration, onboarding and offboarding, employee lifecycle processes and international employment. At the same time, because we’re a small People team, your scope will go well beyond operations. You’ll also contribute to areas such as performance and development, employee engagement, recruiting support, policies and broader People initiatives.

• Own our P&O Jira board: Be the central point of coordination for incoming People requests, keep priorities and ownership clear, drive topics to completion and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

• Partner with employees and managers on People topics: Provide thoughtful, pragmatic support on employee relations and day-to-day People challenges, bringing sound judgement and knowing when to involve others.
• Contribute beyond operations: Play an active role in broader People processes such as performance reviews, employee feedback, engagement, development, recruiting and other People projects as priorities evolve
