Senior hr business partner & team manager

Shape the People agenda behind a global operations organization of 4,000 employees.

This is an opportunity to take a key HR leadership role in one of the largest and most business-critical areas within Hearing Aids. As Global HR Business Partner for Global Operations, you will partner directly with the SVP and Global Operations Leadership Team, shaping the People agenda across manufacturing, supply chain, and operational functions globally.

You will work at the heart of the business, bringing a People and organizational perspective to strategic decisions and translating business priorities into initiatives that strengthen performance, productivity and long-term organizational capability.

At the same time, you will lead a geographically distributed HRBP team supporting Operations across countries and locations. Your role is therefore both strategic and operational: setting direction, challenging thinking, turning data, insights, and decisions into action across the organization.

What this role covers

You will be the strategic People and organization partner to the SVP, Global Operations, and the Global Operations Leadership Team.

The role covers the People agenda across a global organization of approximately 4,000 employees, including organizational development, workforce and succession planning, talent, leadership effectiveness, transformation, and employee engagement.

You will connect the needs of Global Operations with the broader Hearing Aids and enterprise HR agenda while leading and developing the HRBP organization supporting Operations across countries and cultures.

What you will do

• Partner with the SVP and senior leaders on business strategy, organizational development, and leadership effectiveness.
• Shape workforce planning, succession management, and talent strategies for critical operational and leadership roles.
• Lead the People and organizational aspects of major transformations, organizational changes and operational improvement programs.
• Strengthen employee engagement, retention, and workforce stability across frontline and operational populations.
• Build leadership capability and support the development of high-performing leadership teams.
• Lead and develop the Global Operations HRBP organization across countries and cultures.
• Use workforce insights, business data and analytics to inform decisions and measure impact.
• Connect Global Operations priorities with the broader Hearing Aids and enterprise HR agenda.

Who you are

You are a senior HR leader with a strong business mindset and the credibility to operate as a close partner to executive leadership.

You understand the realities of a demanding international operations environment and know how to balance strategic perspective with execution. You build trust, but you are also prepared to challenge assumptions, bring alternative perspectives to the table and stand your ground when it leads to better business outcomes.

You bring:

• Extensive experience from senior HR Business Partner or HR leadership roles in large international and matrix organizations.
• A proven track record of partnering with executive leadership teams on strategy, transformation and organizational effectiveness.
• Experience supporting operational, manufacturing or supply chain environments.
• Experience leading geographically dispersed teams.
• Strong capabilities within leadership, talent and change management.
