• Onboarding, Offboarding & Employee Lifecycle : manage the end-to-end onboarding and induction experience and coordinate employee transitions and offboarding for Spain (and Portugal as backup).
• Employee Support & HR Administration : serve as a point of contact for employees on HR-related matters (policies, procedures, leaves, benefits), prepare HR documentation (addendums, letters, certificates) and ensure compliance with local labor regulations, liaising with the payroll provider.

• Stakeholder Credibility : confident, credible and reliable when interacting with managers, senior leaders, employee representatives and external partners; excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills.
