The Impact You'll Make

We are looking for an experienced HR People Partner to lead the people agenda at our Dubnica plant. This senior on-site role is part of the Plant Leadership Team and works closely with the Plant Director to ensure strong people leadership, sound decision-making, and a stable, professional working environment.

The site has around 200 employees, mostly hourly roles, and requires daily presence, strong employee-relations capability, and hands-on ownership of core HR processes. 

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Partner with the Plant Director and leadership team as a trusted advisor, contributing to site-level decisions and shaping a respectful, inclusive, high‑performance culture.
  • Lead employee relations on site, managing cases end-to-end and ensuring compliance with Slovak labor law, collective agreements, and internal policies.
  • Maintain constructive, transparent relationships with the Works Council and union representatives.
  • Guide leaders on performance, development, succession, organizational changes, and fair people decisions.
  • Oversee high-quality execution of core HR processes, including performance cycles, HR data, contracts, and employee lifecycle activities, while supporting managers and employees with day-to-day HR needs.
  • Provide stability and clarity during organizational or leadership changes, ensuring consistent communication and early risk identification.

What We're Looking For

  • 7+ years of HR generalist or HR Manager experience in an operational or industrial environment
  • Strong knowledge of Slovak labor law and employee relations
  • Experience working with Works Councils or unions
  • Ability to operate independently and confidently in complex, sensitive situations
  • High integrity, sound judgment, and professional maturity

What You'll Get from Us

  • We promote from within and support your learning with mentoring, training, and access to global opportunities.
  • You’ll have flexibility, autonomy, and support to do your best work while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Your well-being matters to us.
  • We strive to create an inclusive work environment where people of all backgrounds are respected, and valued for who they are.
  • You’ll receive benefits like 13th salary, annual bonus, paid vacation, pension plans, personal insurance, and more. These vary by country and contract, but they’re worth asking about—we think they’re pretty great.

Why join us? 

This is a visible, on-site HR role with real influence on how people leadership is practiced. You will work closely with senior site leaders while also being deeply involved in the day-to-day people agenda, making this a role with both strategic impact and operational substance.
