Your Role

You join Orbem at an exciting stage as we expand our German operations while we launch our US entity.

Together with your team, you will oversee the full spectrum of People/HR Operations for both entities, including onboarding, payroll, local labor law compliance, and providing People/HR guidance to team members across all levels of the organization. Additionally, you will manage People/HR administration and offboarding processes.

This role is perfect for you if you enjoy building new processes and enhancing existing ones. We are particularly focused on developing a People/HR Business Partner model and we seek someone whose experience and drive align with this vision.

Leading a team of three direct reports.
Establishing and implementing a People/HR Business Partner model.
Developing current team members into People Business Partners.
Establishing and enhancing People/HR Operations for our US entity, ensuring full compliance with local labor laws.

Managing the entire employee lifecycle - from onboarding to offboarding - through strategic planning, operational efficiency, and administrative support.
Creation of employment contracts, templates, and amendments (Germany/US).
Owning Payroll and Benefits ensuring accurate and timely processing, while continuously evaluating and optimizing these offerings to meet employee needs and ensure compliance with applicable regulations.
Visa processing to ensure compliance with immigration regulations and facilitate a smooth transition for international employees.
Maintaining accurate and up-to-date employee data within the HRIS (HiBob) to ensure efficient and reliable data management.
