HR Generalist in Sales 80-100%

Do you want to shape HR and still like to get hands-on?

At Metro Boutique, you will encounter international trends, streetwear, and it-labels – and around 400 employees in 25 stores in the German-speaking part of Switzerland and Romandy. What was long primarily administrative, we are now gradually developing into modern HR work. This is not a fully established HR position: consulting and administration are roughly equally part of the role.

Responsibilities

Consult and develop

• You are a sparring partner for the sales management in the German-speaking region and support the sales management in Romandy with HR questions

• You advise area managers and store managers in challenging situations – from absences and conflicts to dismissals

• You prepare employment and interim references in close coordination with the managers

• You develop simple, uniform processes for our stores and implement projects together with the line management

• You regularly visit our stores

Administer and evaluate

• You are the first point of contact for the stores regarding our workforce management system – duty scheduling, time tracking, holidays, and absences

• You analyse data on working hours and absences and prepare it clearly for the managers

• You record changes in the WMS and work closely with our personnel administration

• You take over deputising in payroll accounting for around 400 employees when needed

Qualifications

• HR specialist with a federal professional certificate or comparable qualification

• Several years of experience in a generalist HR role and confidence in labour law

• Very good German and French skills, spoken and written

• Confident use of Excel and enjoyment of working with numbers – payroll experience is a plus

• Hands-on mentality: you naturally also get involved in administration

• Pragmatic, independent working style and enthusiasm for building things up

• Interest in retail and the people in everyday operations

Benefits

• Attractive discounts on our range

• Partial home office possible

• 5 weeks’ holiday per year, plus an additional day off for your birthday

• Plenty of room for your ideas and short lines to the CEO

• A team that lives fashion and celebrates successes together
