Process Building:
Contribute to the continuous improvement and scaling of internal HR processes as the company expands.
Compliance: Ensure full alignment with Italian labour regulations and internal company policies.
What We Are Looking For
Experience: 2-3 years in HR Administration, HR Operations, or Payroll.
Industry Focus: Background in Retail, Hospitality, Food & Beverage, or multi-site/multi-unit operations is highly preferred.
Technical Skills: Advanced Excel proficiency and hands-on experience with HRIS and payroll software.
Languages: Professional fluency in English is essential. Knowledge of Spanish is a distinct advantage.
Mindset: Highly organized, adaptable, and eager to thrive in a fast-paced, evolving matrix environment.

Impact & Exposure: Direct visibility to HR leadership with genuine influence over growing processes.
