Your role

This is more than a classic HR operations role. You will combine hands-on HR operations with a strong focus on developing smarter ways of working. You will develop our HR system and learning platform, digitalise processes, introduce e-signatures and bring AI into everyday HR work.

You will also own key recurring HR processes, including time management, employee administration and monthly payroll coordination with external providers, ensuring they run accurately, reliably and on time. You’ll understand how a process works end to end, see how it could work better and then make it happen across both companies.

What you’ll do

  • Develop and get the most out of our HR system and our learning platform, from configuration to new features and user adoption

  • Digitalise and automate HR adminostration and payroll processes, reducing paperwork and manual work

  • Identify and implement practical AI solutions that improve HR service, reporting and everyday workflows.

  • Map, redesign and harmonise HR processes across both companies

  • Introduce and roll out e-signatures for hiring and employee lifecycle processes, integrating them into HR workflows to improve efficiency and the employee experience.

  • Own HR projects end to end, from idea and business case to rollout and training

  • Own and coordinate monthly payroll and time management processes and systems with our external providers and keep HR data accurate and secure

  • Turn HR data into reports and dashboards that support decisions

  • Support the full employee journey, from onboarding to offboarding

  • Provide practical HR guidance to managers and employees, working closely with local HR colleagues and the Group People & Culture team.

What you bring

  • Solid experience in HR operations, such as employee lifecycle processes, HR systems or HR projects

  • Good knowledge of Polish labour law

  • Experience with HR admin and payroll processes

  • Experience with time and attendance processes and systems, and an understanding of how they connect to payroll

  • A tech-driven mindset: you enjoy working with systems and quickly learn new tools

  • Hands-on experience with HRIS and ideally LMS platforms, including configuration or implementation

  • Practical use of AI tools in your work (eg Copilot, Claude), plus experience with automation or Power BI as a big plus

  • Strong process thinking: you understand how things connect and where they can be improved

  • Independence and initiative: you propose improvements and drive them without waiting to be asked

  • A strong appetite for learning and fast development

  • Readiness to travel between our sites

  • Fluent Polish and English

What we offer

  • A role where you take ownership of core HR operations and shape how they evolve through digitalisation and AI

  • Intensive development through internal and external training and free language learning

  • Work across two companies in a fast-growing international Group

  • Private medical care and group life insurance, largely covered by Axopar

  • Subsidised lunch and fresh fruit in the office

  • An extra day off on your birthday

  • Commuting allowance

  • Flexible working hours. Our Working Together guidelines emphasise an on-site-first approach, while supporting flexibility with hybrid work

  • Company motorboats and e-bikes to enjoy in the season
