Senior People Operations Specialist - Maternity Cover 18 months

At Too Good To Go, we have an ambitious mission: to inspire and empower everyone to fight food waste together.

More than 1/3 of all food produced in the world is wasted. And that has a huge impact on the health of our planet. 10% of greenhouse gas emissions come from food waste and loss.

Through our marketplace app, we connect businesses that have unsold, surplus food, with consumers who can buy and enjoy it at ⅓ of retail value. We are a certified B Corporation with a mission to empower everyone to take action against food waste. Alongside our marketplace app, we create educational tools, explore new business solutions, and influence legislation to help reduce food waste.

We’re growing fast: Our community of 133 million registered users and 261,000 active partners across 20 countries, have together already saved 517 million meals from going to waste - avoiding almost 1.4 million tonnes of CO2e! 

In 2023, Too Good To Go was recognised on Fortune's acclaimed 'Change the World' list, named as one of Deloitte's 'Best Managed Companies' and won a coveted 'Cultural Impact Award' at the annual Apple App Store Awards.

Your Mission:

As we continue to grow, so does our need to ensure our teammates have the tools and support they need to thrive throughout their career in Too Good To Go. 

We are therefore looking for a Senior People Operations Specialist to join our global People & Culture team, to further improve and professionalise the way we organise and align our people processes globally.

You will become part of and work closely with the global People Operations team and our market teams, to learn and grow within People Operations, a team constantly evolving to meet the requirements of a fast-paced business in high growth.

Reporting to the People Operations Cluster Lead, you will divide your time between the operational engine room and global development projects benefiting all of our employees. Few days are the same, but overall your tasks would revolve around:

Key Responsibilities:

• Serve as the primary point of contact for all People & Culture (P&C) enquiries for employees and managers within the Polish & Czechia market, handling first touch requests coming through a central ticketing system, including employee support and data management, employment contracts and addendums preparation, leave allowances and registration, and employee and manager support cases.
• Run payroll for Poland and Czechia and administer the P&C tasks for the quarterly bonus program and benefits. Payroll knowledge of other countries is a plus. 
• Manage changes and adjustments to benefits programmes across the Cluster.
• Manage employee data by maintaining accurate employee profiles in the global HRIS and ensuring a smooth flow of information between People Systems.
• Handle employee lifecycle events including the effective and compliant onboarding and offboarding of employees.
• Manage employee documents and records, ensuring accuracy and legal compliance.
• Maintain data integrity through regular data entries, audits, and reporting.
• Contribute to and project manage prioritized P&C initiatives and projects to improve the P&C agenda, including training rollout and Centre of Excellence project operationalisation.
• Work closely with local (senior) stakeholders such as the Country Director for Poland and Czechia. 

Requirements:

• You have experience of handling Polish payroll. 
• You are an expert in Polish labour laws. Labour Law knowledge from other countries is a plus (especially Czechia). 
• You have experience within HR or organisational change in fast-paced environments. You like getting things done and being curious to learn more and doing things in a smarter way.
• You are motivated by exploring, learning and finding solutions, and take pride in implementing them with high attention to detail and deadlines.
• You are able to thrive in a role that requires performing repetitive tasks, such as data entry, with accuracy and attention to detail, and finding satisfaction in delivering high-quality results consistently.
• You are a self-starter, able to address tasks proactively and work autonomously, while asking for support as and when required.
• You are a good communicator who understands what it takes to create crisp and clear messages, through slide decks, policy documents and in meetings across geographies and cultures.
• You have a flair for IT, and are confident in getting to know and using a variety of HR systems. Experience with Google Suite and Google Sheets especially is a plus.
• You are an organisational talent and can easily prioritise competing tasks, being able to switch between administrative, data and people-oriented work to deliver deadlines amongst competing priorities.
• Your English and Polish skills are excellent, both written and spoken.
