As HR Manager you will be responsible for setting up the HR function, supporting global recruitment efforts and onboarding of team members, also focussing on retention strategies. You will be looking after a workforce of approximately 100 employees, across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and America.

You will have excellent employee relations skills and be fully comfortable taking full ownership of the HR function and making decisions as part of the global senior management leadership team.

You should be able to demonstrate thorough knowledge of recruitment, developing HR functions from start, retention, compensation and benefits and talent management experience. Our client is only able to consider candidates who are fully bilingual in English and French /Italian.
