[Hiring] HR & EOR Operations Manager @OnHires

Role Description

We are looking for an HR & EOR Operations Manager to join our Swiss entity on a part-time basis. This is a hands-on operational role - not a purely administrative or advisory position.

• Serve as the named Responsible Person for the Swiss entity under SECO/Zürich personnel leasing law.
• Ensure compliance with Swiss labour-leasing legislation, Swiss employment law, and the staffing industry GAV (minimum wages and equal treatment).
• Maintain documentation required for SECO and cantonal audits and inspections.
• Serve as the primary Swiss contact for SECO and cantonal authorities.
• Oversee HR and employment operations for the Swiss entity - including onboarding, contract controls, and employment matters.
• Support payroll oversight in collaboration with the global payroll team.
• Handle employee and client escalations related to HR and compliance matters.
• Supervise the entity's EOR/personnel leasing activities and ensure they are conducted properly.

Qualifications

• Right to Work in Switzerland - one of the following is required:
  • Swiss citizen.
  • EU/EFTA national with a current Swiss B or C permit.
  • Non-EU/EFTA national with a Swiss C permit (a non-EU/EFTA B permit alone does not qualify).
  • EU/EFTA national with a genuine 5-year cross-border G permit.
• Education: Any completed qualification - EFZ apprenticeship, Matura/Abitur, or university degree in any field.
• Experience - either route qualifies:
  • Standard route: 3+ years in one of the following: recruitment or placement, personnel leasing or staffing (including EOR), substantive HR (not admin-only), personnel consulting, or organisational/business consulting. Employment certificates confirming dates, workload percentage and substantive duties are required alongside a CV.
  • Alternative route: 3+ years of general professional experience plus a completed, recognised HR qualification with a passed exam (e.g. HRSE or VSH HR Assistant). Course attendance without a final certificate does not count.
• Character: Clean criminal record, debt-enforcement register and tax history.
• Other: Comfortable being named on the Commercial Register with signing authority. Willing to disclose other jobs, board mandates or licensed-business responsibilities. Genuinely hands-on - purely advisory profiles (external lawyers or accountants with no operational involvement) are not suitable.

Requirements

• 3+ years of relevant experience in HR or EOR operations.
• Familiarity with Swiss employment law and social insurance is an advantage.
• Ability to maintain a meaningful presence in Switzerland (~50% benchmark).

Benefits

• Health insurance contributions.
• Share incentives.
• Learning and mentorship opportunities.
• Team offsites and social events.
• 4 weeks of work-from-anywhere per year.
• Other concurrent work or mandates are welcome.
