Senior People Business Partner (m/f/d)

Join us as a Senior People Business Partner (m/f/d) in our People & Relations team and help shape the future of autonomous mobility!

You will join the People & Relations Business Partner team alongside Helen, Pepe, Jess, Gabija & Michela. You will report directly to Kati, our VP People & Relations, as your people manager.

With around 20 professionals in People & Relations located in Berlin and Hamburg, we support the company through three different teams: Talent Acquisition, People Operations, and Business Partnering. We aim to provide top-notch services, scalable concepts, and frameworks. We are key sparring partners, fostering a positive and appreciative culture.

As a Senior People Business Partner, you will act as a strategic advisor to People Managers within your designated business unit, while also leading key projects in your area of expertise—particularly around organizational development and change. 

We are currently in an exciting phase of transformation, working closely with collaborating entities toward a shared goal: scalable, safe, and customer-centric autonomous mobility. Among others, this journey also includes harmonizing People & Organization practices and leveraging the strengths of those organizations to accelerate the path toward making autonomous driving a reality. This environment offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of work in a dynamic, evolving context. 

What you will do

• You are a strategic partner to your assigned Business Unit Leadership team, providing insights on relevant concepts, strategies, and solutions.
• You drive and implement programs, initiatives, and solutions in your assigned area, collaborating closely with our people managers to support their daily leadership responsibilities and our organizational growth needs.
• You understand the needs of your business areas in terms of organizational design, workforce planning, succession planning, performance management, and capability assessment. You navigate a diverse stakeholder landscape, balancing strategic priorities with operational realities, and establish strong connections with all relevant stakeholders to drive the business’s future scale and growth.
• As a change agent, you comprehend and communicate the relevant perspectives of change, guiding the process to ensure its optimal outcome.

What will help you to fulfill your role 

• You have several years of relevant work experience as a People Business Partner or in a similar HR role, preferably in a tech company. 
• You are genuinely interested in people and can step into various roles, such as a sparring partner, advisor, coach; finding solutions for individuals and the organization to support their growth. 
• You drive new frameworks, processes, and projects, aligning with senior leadership and securing buy-in to bring your ideas to life. 
• You like working in a fast-paced environment, on greenfield projects and can derive strategic people goals from business targets.
• You enjoy cross-functional collaboration, as well as consulting business unit owners and team leads on strategic and operational tasks. 
• You are fluent in English (written and spoken). 
• You are willing to meet stakeholders onsite in their respective locations regularly, depending on their needs. This could result in travelling 1-2 times per month or more, which is our current working mode as People Business Partners. 

Nice to have: 

• Your background in Systemic Coaching/Systemic Design/Mediation and/or German labour law knowledge are a plus.
• You have had exposure to different international markets, ideally with a focus on tech and/or automotive. 

We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds— even if you don’t meet every requirement. If you’re excited about the role and MOIA’s mission, we’d love to hear from you!

Our Future Work model

Since we love to collaborate, it is clear to us that we don’t want to become a fully remote company, but we also don’t need to spend every day of the week in the office to do a great job.

Our current hybrid work approach focuses on adapting to different needs, including increased flexibility that works best for the teams and the individuals with as much self-determination as possible.
