Senior People Operations Partner mfd - International

Allow us to introduce ourselves

Hello there! We’re Appinio, the fastest (and coolest) market research platform. On a mission to make the world a little more fact-based, we help companies understand how consumers think and make better data-driven decisions.

We started out in Hamburg back in 2014 but we’re now humbled to call the world our playground, with over 260 employees spread across 15 countries (we’re remote-first), 2600+ international clients, delivering research from +190 markets, globally.

Want to be a part of the Appinio movement? 🚀

Your Mission as a Senior People Operations Partner (m/f/d)

We are looking for an experienced and passionate Senior People Operations Partner to join our People Team and create unique employee journeys at Appinio that reflect our special culture while enabling international growth.

As a Senior People Operations Partner you will be the key driver to ensure our employee life is hassle-free from the day-to-day world by turning the typical "HR Services" work into what feels like a "prime" experience, surpassing conventional HR expectations. You will challenge the status quo and prioritise real talent issues, setting global foundational processes and frameworks that our internal customers love. You will take ownership from day 1 and have a tangible impact on the business.

Our Team

Our People Team embodies a "product mindset" where we believe in working in transparency and collaboration with our stakeholders. We do not aim to simply complete "task lists"- we focus on the needs and wants of our customers and focus on the adoption of our solutions, not their pure execution. We are partners to the business, trusted parties to all employees, and business-savvy solution drivers across the company. Join us!

What you’ll be doing

• Responsible for driving all employee experience topics internationally (from contract management and onboarding to off boarding, visa processes, and employee requests) while delivering an outstanding employee experience
• Manage our international payroll processes in our active payroll markets (currently Germany, Spain, France, Portugal, the Netherlands, the UK, and the US) while closely collaborating with our employer of records partner.
• Be a role model for the People Operations/Enablement Team on solving various employees questions and challenges; coaching the team on best practices from your own experience
• Work on strategic People projects that touch on different stages of the talent journey, such as onboarding revamp, payroll atomisation and beyond
• Support managers and senior leadership in their day-to-day challenges while giving them guidance and coaching on concrete People topics
• Partnering with the rest of the People Enablement Team as well as the People Leadership team on building holistic People approaches and frameworks that support our overarching employee goals, such as internal events, performance management, and engagement.
