Job description

🤩 What you will do

As our People & Culture Manager, you will take full ownership of our HR function and play a key role in shaping the employee experience throughout the entire employee lifecycle – from onboarding to offboarding. You will be both a strategic partner to leadership and a trusted point of contact for our employees, ensuring that people and culture remain at the heart of our success.

  • End-to-end recruitment: Manage the full cycle from job profile creation, active sourcing (e.g., via LinkedIn Recruiter), screening, interviewing, and coordinating the hiring process up to contract negotiations and signing – always with an eye on finding ambitious talents who raise the bar.

  • Trusted partner: Serve as the main point of contact for employees and managers for all HR-related topics and as the interface to external stakeholders (e.g., tax advisors, legal counsel).

  • Performance & Development: Lead our established performance management cycles, support managers in providing feedback, and facilitate employee development through initiatives such as Individual Development Plans (IDPs) and Career Paths.

  • Culture Initiatives & employee experience: Shape and strengthen our team vibe by driving people-focused initiatives and planning and executing our company-wide events (quarterly multi-day team events, annual offsite).

  • HR processes & administration: Handle core HR operations such as payroll preparation and the creation of employment-related documents (contracts, amendments, reference letters).

  • Process improvement & new initiatives: Continuously optimize HR processes and policies, and contribute to developing new frameworks (e.g., leadership development, bonus systems, or other people initiatives).

🎉 What success looks like in this role

  • 3 months: You confidently run our full recruitment cycle, from outreach to signing, and are fully familiar with our performance development framework, ensuring a smooth candidate and employee experience.

  • 6 months: You have become the trusted go-to person for managers and employees alike, handling topics ranging from admin processes to well-being and performance with confidence.

  • 1 year: You own and continuously evolve our people organization at Ingestro. You foster a culture where people feel supported and challenged, and you play a key role in attracting, developing, and retaining talent that aligns with our mission and values.
