About the Role and Why It's Special

At Innovamat in Spain, our teams are stable and our structure has matured. We keep raising the bar on how we operate — professionalizing our processes and helping our managers grow into stronger leaders. This is where the People Business Partner comes in: not building from scratch, but taking something that already works and making it even better.

This is a high-impact role at the intersection of people, leadership, and business strategy. You'll work closely with senior leaders to shape how we organize, develop, and support our teams, translating business priorities into a stronger, more autonomous management culture. It's a role for someone who wants to combine strategic thinking with hands‑on execution.

• Performance & Development: You will participate in defining and planning performance evaluations, including preparing and implementing new 360º evaluation programs, and structuring impactful training and career paths.

• Empowering Leaders: You will guide and engage with senior leaders, providing coaching as needed, driving towards solutions, and helping them navigate complex organizational challenges to foster an autonomous and efficient management structure.

• Culture & Employee Well‑being: You will help developing and implementing short, medium, and long‑term plans to improve the well‑being of the team. You will be an intermediary and/or mediator when required, and you will get to know and promote our culture and the mechanisms that support it.

• Continuous Improvement & Data: You will promote the continuous improvement of our processes, coordinating with business area managers to develop new actions. You will track key metrics to uncover actionable insights for decision‑making.
