Team and Responsibilities

Support People. Build Smarter Processes. Shape the Future of HR.

People, culture, and growth go hand in hand at BLACKROLL®. As we continue to expand internationally, the demands on our HR structures are growing – creating new opportunities to challenge existing processes and develop smarter solutions.

As HR Manager Switzerland & International, you take responsibility for day-to-day HR operations in Switzerland and act as a key point of contact for employees and managers. You ensure reliable processes across the entire employee lifecycle while bringing fresh ideas to make our HR operations smarter, more digital, and more efficient.
You work closely with our People & Culture team, Finance, and external partners and support our International HR Lead in building and further developing our international HR structures.

This position is initially limited to 12 - 14 months, with the possibility of transitioning into a permanent role if there is a mutual fit. The starting date is as soon as possible or by agreement.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

• You support employees and managers throughout the entire employee lifecycle and take ownership of HR administration – from employment contracts, reference letters, and employee data changes to absence management and employment law matters.
• You coordinate payroll processes in close collaboration with external payroll and fiduciary partners, ensuring accurate and timely execution.
• You support recruiting and onboarding activities in close collaboration with Talent Acquisition – from interview coordination to ensuring a smooth start for new employees.
• You support our International HR Lead in building and developing international HR structures and actively contribute to cross-border HR initiatives.
• You drive the optimization and digitalization of HR processes, leveraging AI, automation, and modern tools to improve efficiency and scalability.
• You collaborate closely with internal teams and external specialists to ensure compliance with applicable employment and social security regulations.
• You independently manage HR projects, challenge existing processes, and develop pragmatic solutions that create real value in day-to-day operations.

Your profile

• You bring several years of experience as an HR Manager or HR Generalist and have solid knowledge of Swiss and German HR practices, employment law, and social security regulations.
• You have strong expertise in operational HR administration and confidently manage HR processes across the entire employee lifecycle.
• You have supported recruiting and onboarding processes and understand the importance of a positive employee and candidate experience.
• You work in a structured, pragmatic, and independent way and maintain a clear overview even in a dynamic environment.
• You communicate confidently, empathetically, and professionally with employees, managers, and external partners – in both German and English

Nice To Have

• Ideally, you have experience working with external payroll or fiduciary partners and are familiar with HR tools such as Personio or Leapsome.
• You have some exposure to AI-powered HR processes, workflows, or automation and are interested in using new technologies to make HR processes smarter and more efficient.
