People Partner Lead, Germany & Sweden

• 8+ years as a senior People or HR Business Partner leader, across senior levels of leadership and frontline leaders of larger teams
• A builder's mindset – comfortable starting from a blank sheet, having opened or scaled operations in Germany or built a German people function from close to nothing
• Deep, practical command of German employment law and co-determination, with the judgement to know when to bring in counsel
• Germany is the core requirement; multi-market European experience is strongly preferred – you have worked across more than one European employment landscape (Sweden a significant plus) and know what scales beyond a single market
• Has built a staffing model that had to scale on an opening cadence, and has localised reward in Germany – pay, pension, equity
• Comfortable in both phases – the ambiguity of pre-launch and the discipline of running something live
• Moves at the pace of the business and leads people through change – you have taken teams through reorganisations, new operating models or rapid scaling, and kept trust and delivery intact while doing it
• A local delivery mandate and a real seat in cross-market strategy, held at the same time, at pace
• Fluent with people data and using AI in your own work, and ties people decisions to what members actually experience in the room
• Fluent German and English, based in Berlin, and ready to spend regular time in clinics
