Recruiting & HR Operations Manager

About the role

A hands-on, resourceful Recruiting & HR Operations Manager is sought to attract, hire and support talent as the organisation grows. The role focuses on full-cycle recruiting, partnering with hiring managers and leadership to build talent pipelines and deliver a high-quality candidate experience. While recruiting is the priority, it also supports onboarding, employee lifecycle administration and day-to-day HR operations for the Swiss-based team. Reporting to the Fractional HR leader based in the US, it is an individual contributor role.

Key responsibilities

• HR operations: coordinate preboarding and onboarding, including background checks, system entry, equipment, relocation and orientation; support new-hire check-ins and employee lifecycle processes; assist with HR reporting, audits and compliance with Swiss employment requirements.
• Collaboration: work with the Fractional HR leader to align people initiatives with business goals, build relationships with employees and hiring managers, and contribute to scalable HR processes.

Required profile

• 4+ years of experience in full-cycle recruiting, talent acquisition and/or HR operations, ideally in a growing technology, energy, engineering or technical organisation.
• Experience recruiting for technical, commercial, operational or corporate roles; engineering or energy hiring is a plus.
• Familiarity with Swiss employment practices and HR administration, or experience supporting employees in Switzerland.
• Fluency in English; professional French strongly preferred due to the Nyon location.
• Strong organisational skills, attention to detail and ability to manage competing priorities independently.

Required skills

• Standard productivity tools
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
