People & Culture Manager / HR Generalist (f/m/d)

People & Culture Manager / HR Generalist

Our global People & Culture team drives initiatives that shape our culture and elevate employee experience. We partner with leaders to design inspiring people strategies and org-wide change and lead exciting talent programs that attract and develop top performers. We are looking for a new team member and that could be you!

In this role, you will act as the main point of contact for managers and employees at our location in Poland while continuously building a relationship of trust and approaching challenges in a solution-oriented and people-centric way.

In this role, your primary focus will be on P&C Operations, while you will also collaborate closely with the Talent and P&C Business Partner teams to ensure continuous support to our Poland-based staff across the full generalist remit.

What you'll do:

• Creating employment agreements and amendments;
• Administrating local benefits;
• Managing end-to-end employee lifecycle processes locally (onboarding, changes, offboarding);
• Maintaining accurate P&C data and employee records in the HRM and files;
• Ensuring compliance with local labor laws, policies and internal procedures;
• Handling employee queries and provide first-line HR support;
• Reporting HR-relevant KPIs;
• Identifying and implementing process improvements and standardization in P&C Operations.

HR Partnering / Consulting:

• Building strong relationships with managers and employees in Poland and being seen as a person of trust.
• Providing guidance and coaching on policies, processes and employment law to P&C Business Partners, managers and employees where applicable.
• Working on ad hoc P&C initiatives for Poland and occasionally also on global projects and supporting other P&C colleagues if necessary.

Talent Acquisition:

• Occasionally providing hands-on support for local recruitment needs, managing the full cycle hiring process (from job posting to offer stage) in collaboration with the Talent team.
• Ensuring consistent use of the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) for candidate management, compliance and reporting.

What you bring:

• At least 2 years of work experience in a (generalist) People & Culture / HR function in Poland; experience in an international company is desirable but not essential.
• Some experience in recruitment / talent acquisition is a plus, not a must.
• A good understanding of Polish employment legislation and experience handling Employee Relations (ER) matters, including sickness cases and day-to-day ER topics.
• Fluency in both Polish and English (both orally and in writing). English is our worldwide company language and it enables you to communicate with your colleagues across countries.
• Availability to work from our Warsaw office about 2-3 days a week, to develop trust relationships with the local team in person and handle some of the manual signatures needed by local regulations.
• Highly self-driven and like to take initiative, proactively identifying issues and addressing them promptly without requiring close guidance.
• A natural interest in people and a passion for working in a people function.
• Talent for organization and a highly structured way of working; you can handle and learn from new situations and you don't let your work output be jeopardized by a stressful day.

What we Offer:

• Flexi-Week and Work-Life Balance: We prioritize your mental health and wellbeing, offering you a flexible four-day Flexi-Week at full pay and with no reduction to your annual holiday allowance. We also offer a variety of different paid special leaves.
• Flexi-Office: We offer an international culture and flexibility through our Flexi-Office and hybrid/remote work possibilities to work across Awin regions.
• Remote Working Allowance: You will receive a monthly allowance to cover part of your running costs. In addition, we will support you in setting up your remote workspace appropriately.
• Health & Well Being: With our support and access to various initiatives and sports offers, you can devote yourself to your mental and physical well-being. Additionally, to our initiatives on our Awin platform, we offer Multisport Card, and Medicover or Luxmed health insurance.
• Development: We've built our extensive multidisciplinary training suite Awin Academy (to cover a wide range of skills that nurture you professionally and personally,) with trainings conveniently packaged together to support your overall development. You can also improve your foreign language skills by participating in our local language course.
• Appreciation: Thank and reward colleagues by sending them a voucher through our peer-to-peer program.
