THE ROLE
Our 5-person HR team in Aachen is looking for a successor for a colleague who will be retiring soon. You’ll step into a role where you’ll take on responsibility quickly and learn a lot fast. You’ll keep HR running clearly, correctly, and service-oriented day to day: inquiries, contracts, employee master data, absences, and reporting. And if you’re up for it, you can actively help make HR more digital and simple (workflows, automation, meaningful AI use cases).
