HR Business Partner

Who we are
As the top Swiss e-commerce platform, with a crew of over 3’500 across Switzerland, Germany, and Serbia, Galaxus is poised to move into new markets. Our driving force is our determination to keep challenging the status quo. That’s why we’re on the lookout for characters who’re passionate about making genuine improvements. We’ll give you the freedom and trust to make an impact, to grow with us and to be yourself. Act galactic. Be you.
We are looking for someone to fill the role of HR Business Partner, who will complement the People & Culture team. In this position, you will be the first point of contact for our (international) Customer Service department and our own People & Culture team, and you will play an active role in shaping a great people experience. (As this role is part of an international team based in Zurich proficiency in German and English is essential.)
You can expect a healthy mix of hands-on work in everyday life (yes, real HRBP life!) and more complex tasks where you will support the further development and growth of these areas.
If you enjoy working in a variety of ways, want to make an impact, and business partnership is more than just a buzzword for you—then we definitely want to get to know you.
