What you'll do

  • Act as a trusted advisor to managers and leadership, translating business needs into HR initiatives, org design, and workforce planning
  • Support workforce planning and advise on headcount decisions with Finance and Talent Acquisition
  • Lead the people's side of the Kolsquare–Storyclash integration and future group-wide change initiatives
  • Assess organizational readiness for change and design communication and adoption plans
  • Help employees and managers navigate change with structure and empathy
  • Spot friction early — between teams, processes, and ways of working — and address it before it compounds
  • Build and drive the performance management cycle (goal-setting, calibration, ratings consistency)
  • Coach managers on feedback, underperformance, and team development
  • Facilitate talent reviews and succession planning for critical roles
  • Partner on retention strategies for critical talent, using turnover and risk analysis to target interventions
  • Advise managers on complex employee-relations matters, conflict resolution, and sensitive conversations
  • Serve as the main HR contact for the Austrian Works Council (Betriebsrat) and other employee representative bodies where they apply
  • Balance business needs, fairness, and legal risk, partnering with external counsel where needed
  • Interpret engagement survey results and co-create action plans with managers, tailored to each company
  • Use people data (engagement, turnover, performance) to diagnose issues and shape recommendations for leaders
  • Open and coordinate helloCash role openings (on average 3 job openings per year) in collaboration with team.blue's central Talent Acquisition team
  • Partner with hiring managers to define profiles and provide input throughout the process

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of HRBP experience, ideally in a fast-growing tech or SaaS environment (50-150 employees a strong plus)
  • A generalist grounding across talent, employee relations, performance, and engagement, with experience advising and influencing senior leaders
  • Strong knowledge of Austrian labor law; experience with collective agreements and works councils
  • Comfortable building HR processes and tools from the ground up, not just running an established framework
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management, high emotional intelligence, and real conflict-navigation skills
  • Fluent in German and English (written and spoken)

Nice to have

  • French/Spanish
  • Experience partnering across a multi-entity or multi-brand group, or in a post-acquisition/integration context
  • Data-driven mindset with experience in HR reporting and people analytics; familiarity with HRIS platforms (e.g. HiBob) and engagement tools (e.g. Culture Amp)
  • Proven experience managing full-cycle recruiting and supporting hiring managers in defining role profiles
