Descrizione del lavoro

We're looking for an Interim Regional HR Business Partner (Central Europe) to lead HR delivery and support our continued business and HR transformation.

This is a fixed-term contract running until July 2027. Any extension would be considered separately, based on business needs and mutual agreement.

At LINK, we power communication that keeps everyday life moving. From flight check-ins and delivery alerts to SMS authentication, WhatsApp support messages, and mobile coupons - chances are you've already interacted with our technology without even knowing it.

We help businesses engage and delight customers through scalable, end-to-end communication solutions.

This is an exciting moment to join LINK. The mobile communications industry is evolving fast, and we're expanding our award-winning CPaaS offerings to match the pace of innovation.

About The Role

Central Europe has approx. 300 permanent employees across 10 countries. This role has overall HR responsibility for Germany, Austria, Poland, Bulgaria, Switzerland, Hungary, Romania, North Macedonia, the Netherlands and Italy, as well as selected Group functions.

You will work closely with the COO Central Europe, the regional leadership team and the Group CHRO, providing senior HR support across the region while ensuring strong execution of LINK's Group HR priorities.

You will coordinate closely with a team of seven HR professionals across the region and support Group-wide HR initiatives, including implementation of a new HRIS, job architecture, performance management and employee engagement.

The role focuses on coordination, implementation and regional input, rather than overall HR or project ownership. Group HR owns project design and delivery, while Local HR owns employee relations and compliance.

The role reports functionally to the Group CHRO and works in close partnership with the COO Central Europe.

• Drive practical improvements to HR processes, tools and ways of working
• Contribute regional input to Group HR projects, including HRIS implementation, job architecture, performance management and employee engagement
• Provide strong regional input into Group HR development and ensure effective local implementation
• Support and coordinate core HR activities in Italy, including recruitment, onboarding, performance management, employee lifecycle administration and local HR initiatives

Required Experience And Skills

• Strong experience as a Senior HR Business Partner, HR Manager, Regional HR Lead or similar
• Experience working in an international and matrixed organization
• Strong employee relations and employment-practice experience
• Experience advising senior leaders on organizational, performance and people matters
• Experience leading, managing or coaching HR professionals

• Good business understanding and a pragmatic, execution-oriented approach
• High integrity, sound judgment and clear communication skills
• Relevant higher education within HR, business administration or a related field
• Professional fluency in English and Italian

OPTIONAL SUPERPOWERS

• Experience working across several Central European markets
• HR transformation or HRIS implementation
• Leadership development and manager capability building
• Culture and organizational change
• Job architecture, performance management or employee engagement initiatives
