About the role

We’re looking for an experienced HR Generalist to run the day-to-day HR operations, HRIS data quality, payroll coordination and people processes for our Spain entities. Reporting to the local HR Manager, you’ll partner day-to-day with them in our Barcelona office, working closely together to keep HR operations running smoothly and continuously improving how we support employees. You’ll also collaborate with EU/Group HR colleagues and partner with the Finance department to ensure accurate data, timely monthly cycles, and smooth execution of key HR processes. This is a hands-on role for someone who combines strong operational rigor with a proactive, ownership-driven mindset.

• Make a real impact on the business and employees’ well-being by keeping HR processes clear, reliable, compliant and employee-friendly.

• Collaborate closely with HR Management, Finance and EU/Group teams, contributing to SEU OKR-based cycles and continuous improvement.

• Partner with Finance on headcount/labour cost inputs, data consistency and monthly reporting deadlines.

Employee relations & internal support:

• Provide high-quality support to employees and managers on HR operational topics (payroll, benefits, leaves, policies, HR documentation)

• Ensure local execution aligns with global HR guidelines and ways of working

• Partner with HR Management and leaders to draft and distribute internal communications (email, Slack, intranet, newsletters)

• Events and team-building management

People Programs & HR cycles (lifecycle support):

• Provide operational support to ensure key people processes run smoothly end-to-end

• OKR cycles: support cadence, follow-up, tracking and reporting for OKR progress and outcomes (in coordination with HR Management / SEU HR)

• Merit review / compensation cycles: coordinate inputs, validate data, support documentation and process governance

• Employee engagement/satisfaction surveys: support launch logistics, communications, participation tracking and follow-up actions

• Equality protocol and related compliance processes: support documentation, internal communications and operational implementation with relevant stakeholders.

Recruitment coordination (with Group Recruitment Hub):

• Open requisitions locally and manage approvals in Teamtailor

• Coordinate the recruitment process with the Group recruiters and hiring managers: scheduling, process follow-up, status updates, and operational alignment

• Support final stages by coordinating required local inputs for offer preparation and onboarding setup.

Onboarding, offboarding & training administration:

• Own the administrative and legal side of onboarding/offboarding: checklists, documentation, HRIS updates and stakeholder coordination

• Coordinate corporate induction and ensure consistent, compliant employee journeys

• Maintain the training calendar and support training administration/reporting (including FUNDAE coordination with an external provider when applicable)

Requirements Must have:

• 3+ years of experience in HR Operations / HR Administration / HR Generalist roles with strong operational ownership

• Solid knowledge of Spanish labor law and HR documentation practices

• Experience supporting recurring people processes (e.g., performance cycles, goal setting, engagement surveys, merit inputs) from an operational standpoint

• High attention to detail, strong confidentiality, and reliability with sensitive data
