Join to apply for the Junior HR Officer role at Moco Museum.

Moco isn’t like any other museum. We started in Amsterdam, expanded to Barcelona, and after receiving +5 million visitors are now shaking things up in London. Our goal? To make art, fun, bold, and for everyone. At Moco, we showcase work by icons like Basquiat, Warhol, Kusama, and street legends like Banksy, whose art challenges power and speaks to the people. We celebrate voices that are not always found in traditional museums, from the streets to the digital world and beyond. Our spaces are filled with immersive art, powerful messages, and a playful spirit. We believe in breaking the rules, thinking differently, and making art that connects with real life. Our team is made up of curious, passionate people who love creativity, community, and doing things with heart. You don’t need to be an art expert, just open‑minded, energetic, and ready to be part of something exciting.

THIS IS YOU. Do you have a passion for people and creating a strong, professional work culture? Are you someone who understands the importance of discretion and integrity in the workplace, and who is ready to take the next step in an HR career within a creative and fast‑paced cultural organization?

As our Junior HR Officer, you will play a vital role in supporting the daily HR operations at our Barcelona Museum. You will act as the local liaison for Moco’s Headquarters, helping to ensure smooth HR processes are maintained across the employee lifecycle including recruitment, onboarding, documentation, and employee engagement. You’ll be exposed to confidential matters and must be comfortable operating with sensitivity, neutrality, and professionalism at all times. Your work will help ensure consistent, compliant and people‑focused HR practices across the full employee lifecycle. High level of professionalism and discretion will be expected of you. You will regularly handle confidential information and sensitive employee matters and you will strive to apply HR policies fairly and consistently, balancing the needs of employees with the interests and values of the organization.

Key Responsibilities

• Support and coordinate end-to-end HR administration for the Barcelona Museum across the full employee lifecycle, including recruitment support, onboarding, employment contracts, contract amendments, employee changes, and offboarding, in line with Spanish Labour Law.
• Act as the first point of contact for HR-related queries from employees and managers, providing clear and accurate information and escalating complex or sensitive matters to HR Headquarters when required.
• Prepare, issue, and maintain employment contracts, probation documentation, extensions, and employee letters in compliance with local legislation and internal policies.
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date employee records in the HRIS, ensuring data accuracy, GDPR compliance, and timely reporting.
• Support local recruitment processes in collaboration with hiring managers, including interview coordination, offer preparation, and onboarding administration.
• Support employee relations processes by preparing documentation, tracking cases, and ensuring fair, consistent, and compliant handling of issues.
• Coordinate HR administration related to absence management, holidays, sickness, and other leave types in line with Spanish regulations and company policies.
• Liaise with external payroll providers, finance, and advisors (gestoría) to ensure accurate HR data and timely payroll processing.
• Support the local implementation of HR policies, procedures, and HR initiatives, aligned with guidance from HR Headquarters.
• Aligned with the Headquarters HR team, contribute to employee engagement initiatives, internal communication and HR projects that support a positive, professional and inclusive workplace culture.
• Ensure confidentiality, neutrality, and professionalism are maintained at all times when handling sensitive employee information.

Requirements

• High level of discretion with a clear understanding of confidentiality, professional boundaries, and ethical HR practice.
• Ability to balance being approachable and supportive with remaining impartial and policy-driven.
