✅ Taking ownership of the HR system (HiBob) and continually improving people processes

✅ Acting as a trusted advisor to the Senior Management Team and contributing to business decisions

✅ Supporting a growing international workforce across Europe and North America

• Comfortable working autonomously and building credibility with leaders at all levels
