Onodrim Industries seeks a Forward Deployed Operator – People & Talent to embed in portfolio companies and own the people workstream after acquisitions.

Formación

• A degree in business, economics, law, psychology, engineering or a closely related discipline.
• 5+ years in HR, people ops or human-capital consulting, with at least 2 years as generalist or HR business partner inside a manufacturing or industrial company.
• Hands-on experience with compensation: structuring pay grades, benchmarking against the market, designing bonus and retention schemes, and modelling what they cost.
• Working knowledge of employment law and collective bargaining in at least one European jurisdiction, and the judgement to know when local counsel is needed in another.
• Experience hiring for industrial and technical roles – operators, technicians, engineers, plant management – in tight labour markets.
• Strong analytical skills: comfortable building the workforce picture from payroll exports, contracts and HRIS data in Excel or similar, and presenting it to a managing director in numbers.
• Credibility across the whole organisation – you can hold a difficult conversation with a union representative in the morning and with the owner-manager in the afternoon.
• Clear, direct communication in English, written and spoken.
• Willingness to travel extensively and spend extended periods on site at portfolio companies across Europe.
• Right to work in the UK, Switzerland or the EU.

Responsabilidades

• Map the organisation in the first weeks on site and identify key people who must be retained.
• Design and negotiate retention and incentive arrangements for critical people that are affordable and simple.
• Review all compensation, wages, bonuses and benefits against the collective agreement and the local market.
• Work with unions and works councils to understand co-determination rights and establish relationships.
• Plan for the ageing workforce with retirements, succession and knowledge transfer programs.
• Set hiring strategy, build pipelines from local labour markets and apprentices, and support key hires.
• Review policies and benefits for legal exposure and cost, standardising where beneficial.
• Lead the people workstream of integration through the first year after acquisitions.
• Support due diligence of the target's workforce and feed insights into the deal.
• Build local capability by leaving a working people function with routines, data, tools and a capable owner.
