Run HR operations: Set up and manage the employee lifecycle, from onboarding to offboarding.
Support our people: Handle employee relations, resolve conflicts, and foster a positive, high-performing culture.
Ensure compliance: Keep us compliant with Swiss labor law, manage risk, and drive best practices.
Build your team: Hire and lead the People team as we grow.
