• 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(N-2) 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 according to local labor law, compliance requirements, and practice.

Requirements

Must-Have

• 5+ years of HR experience in multinational or cross‑border environments
• Strong understanding of European labor law and practice, particularly in Germany or France.
• Excellent written English — able to draft policy documents, SOPs, and employee communications independently. Fluency in French or German is required.
• Demonstrated experience in building HR policies and systems from the ground up (not just executing existing frameworks)
• Hands‑on mentality — willing and able to do detailed operational work, not just strategic planning

Nice‑to‑Have

• Experience in a multinational expanding into European markets
• Experience in medical device, pharmaceutical, or other regulated industries
• Knowledge of multiple European jurisdictions (Poland, Netherlands, UK, Italy, Spain)
• HR certifications (CIPD, SHRM, or local equivalents)

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
