Job Description

People & Culture Specialist, Swiss Market & Owned Retail (m/f/d) 100%

As People & Culture Specialist, Swiss Market & Owned Retail, you are the central point of contact for all HR topics in the Swiss market—both for our Corporate and our Retail teams. You ensure that our People & Culture processes are implemented effectively, support our People Leaders in day-to-day business, and actively contribute to further developing our company culture and objectives. In addition, you work closely with regional and global P&C teams and, when needed, take on deputy responsibilities within the team.

THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE

• You are the first point of contact for all employees and People Leaders in the Swiss market and provide expert advice on all HR-related matters.

• You support People Leaders on topics related to team leadership, development, and employee support.

• You are responsible for implementing all annual P&C core processes (Goal Setting, Performance Review, Talent Development, Engagement Surveys, Action Planning, etc.).

• You ensure that all processes are carried out efficiently, consistently, and in line with our local and global standards.

• You lead the end-to-end recruitment process for the Swiss market — from job posting and candidate selection through interviews and contract offers. In doing so, you ensure we attract the best talent and that internal processes are followed.

• You enjoy developing HR processes further and optimizing them — especially in the Owned Retail environment.

• You ensure that our HRIS (Workday) is always kept up to date and serves as a reliable source of information.

• You maintain direct exchange with our Retail teams and visit our shops in Switzerland (French-Speaking Switzerland and Zurich) when required to strengthen closeness, trust, and integration into the company of our Owned Retail teammates.

• You support local, regional, and global P&C projects and actively contribute to initiatives.

• During absences, you act as deputy for the P&C Senior Coordinator in Germany as well as for the Senior Payroll & Operations Specialist in Switzerland. This includes, among other things, HR administration across the entire employee lifecycle, payroll processing (with an external partner), insurance administration, and absence management.

WHAT YOU BRING

• At least 2–3 years of experience in P&C/HR, ideally including experience in HR administration and payroll accounting.

• Sound knowledge of employment law and P&C/HR processes.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

• Ability to collaborate in a team-oriented environment.

• Strong organizational skills, flexibility, and attention to detail.
