If you are the kind of HR leader who loves shaping strategy and making things happen - this is your role.

 

As Global HR Business Partner (m/f/d) for two of our fast-growing global Business Areas, you will step into a pivotal seat in a dynamic, evolving organization. You will work at the intersection of business strategy, people outcomes, and global execution - helping leaders build the organization, talent, and capabilities needed to win.

 

Due to the international nature of this role, we are looking to fill the position in Greece (Athens area), Spain (Madrid area), or Italy (Milan area). The role will be based on a hybrid working model.

Responsibilities

You will shape the future of the business through people - globally.

• Strategic Workforce Planning & Organizational Development – Lead workforce planning and org development for your Division in close partnership with Business Leads, Finance, and senior leadership.
• Trusted Advisor & Leadership Coach – Act as a strategic consultant to leaders, providing clear guidance on employee relations, policies, and organizational challenges.

• Global Collaboration – Work with HR colleagues worldwide to harmonize policies and elevate the strategic value of the HRBP community.

What Makes This Role Stand Out

• Strategic and hands-on: You influence direction while staying close to the business.
• Real room to shape and innovate: You’ll build, improve, and move things forward—not maintain status quo.

You will thrive here if you…

• Think like a business partner and act like an owner
• Bring strong judgment, coaching presence, and execution power
• Love operating globally and collaborating across cultures and functions
• Get energy from change, ambiguity, and meaningful impact
