About the Role & Team

As our HR Business Partner, you will be the primary HR point of contact for our Czech Republic operations, supporting approximately 200 employees in Prague and 50 in Ostrava. You aren't doing this in a vacuum; you will be part of a collaborative, global HR community spanning the EMEA and APAC regions, giving you access to international expertise and broad perspective.

This is a true generalist role with a "hands-on" operational core. While you will act as a strategic partner to business leaders, you will also own the day-to-day HR lifecycle. Please note: Recruitment is handled by a separate dedicated team, allowing you to focus entirely on employee relations, labor law compliance, and operational excellence.
