Our Mission:

At Consumer Panel Services GfK, our mission is clear: to provide key information on who buys what, where, how much, how often, and most importantly, why (or why not). We take pride in delivering high-quality, uninterrupted data, expert consultancy, and unparalleled expertise to empower our clients to deliver superior customer experiences at every stage of the shopper journey.

Job Description:

Are you a strategic HR Business Partner passionate about driving business growth? This is your opportunity to shape the people strategy, build strong relationships, and be a trusted advisor to leaders in a dynamic, global organization. You'll navigate complex employee relations, lead talent initiatives, and contribute to the success of our Nuremberg team.

Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll do (not all of it, just the important stuff):

• Partnering with business leaders to develop and embed the people strategy and strengthen our culture, aligned to business needs and goals.
• Developing strong, credible relationships with managers and senior stakeholders.
• Partner with our specialist teams including Talent Acquisition, Talent Development, Reward, and HR Operations to deliver people strategy and support to the business.
• Ongoing employee relations management including performance management, employee cases, and policy development.
• Talent management including succession planning, internal moves and global mobility.
• Partner with Talent Acquisition in interviewing, onboarding, and assessment.
• Support business leaders’ org design for new and existing roles and teams.
• Drive data and reporting to support leaders in making informed business decisions.
• Lead and support projects including year-end processes, engagement survey, change initiatives, and local business-driven initiatives.

These are the essentials you’ll need to get an interview:

• Fluent German language skills.
• In-depth knowledge of the German employee relations and employment legislation.
• Experience as the people lead for workers councils, employee committee or union requirements.
• Proven HR business partnering experience, with the ability to navigate between the strategic and transactional aspects of the role.
• Ability to work under pressure and manage multiple projects.
• Experience working in a matrixed environment.
• Ability to work as individual contributor supporting a region and/or business unit, while also collaborating with the HRBP and wider HR team.

It would be great if you had these too, but we’ll support you if you don’t:

• Experience of M&A or business transformation/change management.
