Personnel Manager – Business Support

Darmstadt, Germany
(Four-year fixed term contract with the possibility of renewal)

Formed in 1986, EUMETSAT is Europe's meteorological satellite agency for monitoring weather and climate. Bringing together the resources of 26 member states, we operate a range of satellites surveying the atmosphere, land and ocean that deliver vital data 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Our data contribute to weather forecasts that protect lives and property across Europe, so we have a crucial role to play.

Helping to leverage the full potential of our people, you will deliver wide-ranging support to the HR function. In particular, you will assist the Head of Personnel in providing advice to managers and their teams, co-ordinate strategic and local HR initiatives, draft and amend HR policy, whilst also deputising for the Recruitment Manager.

It’s a very varied and involving challenge, demanding a degree level qualification in HR Management, Business Administration or Law. Naturally, you will join us from a generalist or specialist HR role, ideally with management responsibilities, and you will be able to demonstrate impressive project management, planning and negotiating skills. Familiarity with contractual and legal issues is a must, and you should be a true self-starter with strong report writing abilities.

In return, you can expect an excellent salary, comprehensive benefits including generous health and social welfare provision, and extensive relocation assistance if applicable.
