Job description

We are seeking a hands‑on HR Business Partner to join our European HR team, supporting a rapidly growing medical device organization with approximately 200+ employees across multiple countries. This role goes beyond traditional HR BP responsibilities — you will be the architect of our European HR policy framework and operational systems, working closely with the European HR Head and China HQ to build scalable, compliant, and business-aligned HR infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities

Policy & System Design (35%)

• Design, draft, and maintain European HR policies, procedures, and employee handbooks across multiple jurisdictions (DACH, Poland, Netherlands, France, etc.)
• Build and implement standardized HR operational frameworks including onboarding, performance management, compensation & benefits, and offboarding
• Develop SOPs and process documentation for cross-border HR operations
• Ensure all policies are compliant with local labor laws, GDPR, and EU directives

Business Partnership (35%)

• Partner with European business leaders to understand workforce needs and translate them into HR solutions
• Support organizational design and restructuring initiatives
• Provide guidance on employee relations matters, including disciplinary actions, performance improvement plans, and terminations
• Act as a trusted advisor on local HR practices and cultural considerations

Operational Execution (30%)

• Draft and review employment contracts, offer letters, and policy documents in English
• Coordinate with external vendors (payroll providers, legal counsel, recruitment agencies)
• Support HR system implementation and configuration (e.g., SuccessFactors, Workday)
• Maintain accurate HR data and reporting for management review

Requirements

Must‑Have

• 5+ years of HR experience in multinational or cross‑border environments, preferably in medical device, pharmaceutical, or other regulated industries
• Demonstrated experience in building HR policies and systems from the ground up (not just executing existing frameworks)
• Strong understanding of European labor law, particularly in DACH and/or Central/Eastern European markets
• Excellent written English — able to draft policy documents, SOPs, and employee communications independently
• Hands‑on mentality — willing and able to do detailed operational work, not just strategic planning
• Experience with HRIS systems (SuccessFactors, Workday, or similar)

Nice‑to‑Have

• Experience in a multinational expanding into European markets
• Knowledge of multiple European jurisdictions (Germany, Poland, Netherlands, France)
• HR certifications (CIPD, SHRM, or local equivalents)
• Mandarin Chinese language skills (for HQ communication)

What We Offer

• Opportunity to build HR infrastructure from the ground up in a fast‑growing global organization
• Direct exposure to senior leadership in both Europe and China HQ
• Competitive compensation package
• Hybrid work arrangement in Rotterdam, Netherlands
