You prefer a specialized HR role without end-to-end responsibilities.

You wish to work only on strategic or only on operational work (this role needs both).

You do not like working on high visibility project (this role is people facing and will always be on the stage rolling out new initiatives or working closely with leadership for different agendas – expect a lot of meetings)

You seek flexibility (while we are 5 days working with flexible work timing and 4 days work from home for emergencies, the HRBP is expected to be physically present in office given the nature of the role). Please do not apply if you prefer a work from home arrangement.
