Senior Global People Partner; f​/m​/d

Senior Global People Partner

As a Senior Global People Partner, you are the strategic operator building and scaling Plancraft's international People Operations & Partnering setup. You enable compliant, smart, and scalable people practices that allow us to grow with consistency and operational excellence across our international locations. With Plancraft currently operating across multiple European countries and employing around 15 internationally-based employees today across the Netherlands, Spain, France, Austria, Italy and Poland — expected to grow to ~30 by the end of the year — this role is pivotal in building the foundations, governance structures, and operational routines that enable sustainable, compliant international growth while maintaining a strong employee experience.

You own the full international People Ops & Partnering agenda across all non-Germany locations. This means combining strategy, systems building, operational ownership, and stakeholder partnering in one role: shaping how we approach international People Ops as we scale, building the frameworks and standards that make it work, running the day-to-day international lifecycle reliably, and acting as a trusted sparring partner to local country leads and managers.

Today, we are still running international operations via EOR across all countries. From Q4 onwards, we plan to gradually move into local entity setups, and this role will be central in owning and driving that transition from the P&O side — both strategically and operationally. You will work closely with key counterparts across the company — especially with:

• our Senior People Partner for Germany as your counterpart for close sparring and alignment across one coherent People Ops & Partnering model
• our Senior Global Talent Acquisition Manager, who is focused on international hiring and will be your key partner on hiring-to-onboarding interfaces
• and stakeholders across Finance, Legal, Expansion, and local country leads for preparing entity transitions and supporting the day-to-day.

This is a role with high autonomy, strong strategic impact, and broad visibility across one of Plancraft's most important strategic focus areas.

• Drive strategy and execution of EOR-to-entity transition work streams, including planning, stakeholder coordination, employee communication, documentation, provider management, and operational rollout readiness.
• Build and continuously improve international people policies, workflows, playbooks, and operational standards with clear "global vs. local" principles and scalable compliance logic.
• Shape and operationalize scalable approaches for international total rewards & working guidelines with consideration for fairness, local market realities, and organizational consistency.

• Translate recurring operational challenges and stakeholder friction into improved systems, documentation, workflows, and scalable operational processes.
• Establish operational excellence through clear ownership structures, lifecycle standards, transparent tracking, and reliable execution across all international people processes.
• Explore practical, AI-enabled workflows and automation opportunities to reduce manual workload and increase operational scalability.

• Own the full international People Ops & Partnering lifecycle across all international employment locations and ensure reliable, compliant, and high-quality day-to-day execution
• Partner closely with Finance, Legal, payroll providers and external advisors to ensure compliant and efficient international operations across countries.

• Serve as a trusted People Partner to international employees, country leads, and managers.
• Act as a key sparring partner to local country leads and managers on all P&O matters.
• Work closely with the Senior People Partner for Germany to align Germany-based setups, processes, workflows, and standards with broader global schemes where relevant.
