Human Resources Specialist

Frankfurt

Salary: €60,000

An international firm is seeking an Human Resources Specialist to support its growing team across Germany. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with 2+ years of HR experience who’s ready to step into a standalone HR role within a European operation.

You’ll be the key Human Resources contact for the company’s German offices, providing operational support while working closely with a wider HR team based in the UK. This is a highly visible role where your ability to work independently, handle sensitive employee matters, and manage HR admin will be crucial.

The Role

• Act as the first point of contact for HR matters across Germany
• Manage HR processes from onboarding and contracts to payroll preparation and offboarding
• Handle employee queries and support managers with day-to-day HR tasks
• Ensure compliance with local employment law and liaise with authorities, insurers, and payroll providers
• Take ownership of Germany-wide employee engagement initiatives (e.g., Wellbeing Week, Volunteer Day)
• Oversee general office coordination tasks including suppliers, service providers, fleet, and invoice prep
• Work in close collaboration with UK-based HR colleagues to maintain consistency across European operations

About You

• 2+ years of HR experience, ideally in a generalist or HR coordinator role
• A qualification in HR is desirable but not essential if you bring strong hands-on experience
• Confident working independently, with a sound understanding of German HR operations
• Professional fluency in German and English
• Well-organised, proactive, and comfortable switching between HR and office admin tasks
• Strong communication skills and a team-player attitude

Why This Role?

This is a rare opportunity to take on an impactful HR role within a respected and stable business.

You’ll work in a collaborative international environment while enjoying the autonomy to own HR operations locally. It’s ideal for someone looking to grow their career in HR while staying close to the business and its people.
