HR Manager / HR Business Partner

CFO Function & HR | CZ/SK + UK scope

At Eurowag, HR is not an administrative layer. It is a strategic lever.

We are looking for an experienced HR Manager / HRBP to partner closely with our CFO function and our own HR team. Yes — HR for HR. Which means high expectations, high transparency, and zero hiding behind process.

On top of that, this role will also carry responsibility for our UK population, so practical knowledge of UK labour law and ER processes is essential.

This is a role for someone who enjoys complexity, influence, and real business impact.

Strategic Business Partnering

· Act as a trusted advisor to the CFO function and HR leadership (excluding ExCo)

· Ensure HR strategy is tightly linked to business strategy (FTE planning, org design, structure evolution)

· Translate business needs into people solutions that are pragmatic and scalable

· Drive organization development and support transformation initiatives

HR for HR

Supporting the HR function means:

· Challenging us when we drift from our own standards

· Ensuring performance management, succession, and talent processes are lived — not just documented

· Being a sounding board for senior HR leaders

· Raising the bar on what “good” looks like

This is a partnership of equals.

UK Scope

· Own HR agenda for the UK population

· Advise managers on UK labour law and employee relations matters

· Ensure compliance and smooth handling of organizational changes in line with local legislation

Change & Transformation

· Act as a change agent within assigned functions

· Partner with leaders on restructuring, workforce planning, and cultural shifts

· Drive adoption of HR tools and processes

· Ensure strong execution of engagement survey, performance cycles, and succession planning

Talent & Leadership

· Challenge and calibrate performance ratings

· Lead succession planning discussions

· Support leadership development in cooperation with Talent

· Work closely with TA to secure strong pipelines and smart hiring decisions

Operational Excellence

· Ensure HR KPIs are delivered

· Implement COE methodologies effectively

· Guarantee audit readiness and policy compliance

· Provide accurate reporting and data-driven insights

· Continuously look for ways to streamline and reduce manual work

We are looking for a strong HR professional who:

· Has 10+ years of HR experience, ideally in a true HRBP / generalist role

· Has experience with transformation and change management

· Understands UK labour law and employee relations

· Is fluent in English and native in Czech or Slovak

· Is comfortable operating in a fast-paced, sometimes ambiguous environment

Skills That Matter

· Strong stakeholder management — able to challenge senior leaders constructively

· Ability to build trust quickly and sustainably

· High level of ownership and accountability

· Attention to detail without losing the bigger picture

· Emotional resilience and confidence under pressure

· Coaching mindset

· Structured, but not bureaucratic

Why This Role Is Different

You will be partnering with:

· The CFO function — data-driven, performance-oriented, demanding

· The HR function — experienced professionals who know HR inside out

That means credibility is key.

You need to:

· Be able to stand your ground

· Bring strong business acumen

· Combine structure with empathy

· Balance compliance with pragmatism

What You Can Expect From Us

· High visibility and real influence

· A business that is evolving and scaling

· Space to shape how HR works, not just maintain it

· A team that expects quality — and gives trust
