Key responsibilities include:
**Strategic Talent Acquisition**: Lead end-to-end recruitment for software engineers in Serbia and sales/operations roles in the US and Western Europe. You will leverage domain expertise in automotive software and embedded systems to identify top talent, and build a world-class hiring process that reflects the company's commitment to quality and speed.
**Performance & Organizational Health**: Develop and implement clear, objective performance metrics. Support engineering leads in Serbia with managerial coaching to develop their leadership capabilities. Ensure a unified work style across the US and Europe, focused on proactive communication, ownership, and results.
**Operations & Compliance**: Serve as the internal authority on Serbian labor law, ensuring all contracts, benefits, and workplace policies are compliant and competitive. Manage the logistical side of a multi-country workforce, including payroll coordination, local benefits packages, and onboarding.

You should have 7+ years in People Ops/HR, ideally within a high-growth software environment, with a law degree and HR certification or education. You must have extensive experience working with or for US-based companies, thrive in a culture of radical candor and rapid iteration, and speak the language of engineers. Bilingual fluency in English and Serbian is essential.
