HEY THERE

Are you a People & Culture expert who elevates how teams work, grow, and perform — and who brings a high-ownership mindset to People processes and business partnership? At Yazio, we’re looking for a (Senior) People Manager who combines clarity, structure, and empathy in business partnering with a bias for action in a fast-moving, remote environment. In this role, you’ll strengthen how we collaborate, support our teams, and help shape a culture built on trust, focus and impact.

If you thrive in high-ownership environments, enjoy guiding people through change, and use AI to multiply your impact — we’d love to meet you.

This role is 100% remote and open to candidates based in Germany, Spain, Portugal, or the U.K. It will start as a 2 year contract with the option to extend as our team continues to grow.

• Act as a Business Partner, building strong working relationships across the company and offering thoughtful guidance on people decisions, team dynamics, and employee relations cases.

• Translate business needs into people recommendations that balance fairness, ambition, compliance, and pragmatism

• Work directly with People & Culture leadership to shape and implement our new Leadership Academy, contributing to concept, structure, and rollout support.

• Promote transparent communication, psychological safety, and clear expectations — helping teams collaborate effectively across time zones.

• Leverage AI tools to increase output, clarity and decision quality, while sharing your learnings with the team.

YOUR PROFILE

• Several years of experience in a People Operations, People Management or HR Business Partner role in an international environment.

• Deep knowledge of People processes, HRIS systems, labour law and compliance with special experience in leadership development initiatives

• Proven ability to lead People projects from planning to rollout, guide stakeholders through change and bring structure to complex topics.

• High emotional intelligence with strong conflict resolution and relationship building skills paired with clear, empathetic communication supporting alignment and transparency

• Experience using AI tools to transform People workflows and a willingness to experiment, learn and share your insights with others.

• Curious and entrepreneurial mindset: you think in systems, spot opportunities and challenge assumptions, bringing a data informed approach with the ability to define success and interpret trends

• Business level German skills for administrative tasks and communication with German external stakeholders.
