Empowering the Future of Mobility: Join Powerdot's Innovative Team

Charging your car should feel as natural as charging your phone. That’s the future we’re building: a network of EV chargers where life happens. We don’t just install chargers.

  • We accelerate sustainable mobility.

  • We grow relentlessly: our network, our partners, ourselves.

If you’re here, you’re probably not looking for “just a job.” Neither are we. 😎 We’re driven by impact, and always looking for people who thrive on turning bold ideas into reality. If that sounds like you, you’ll feel at home here.

What is this role about?

You’ll be the backbone of the People Team 💪 . You’ll own the operations of hiring, compensation & benefits, off-boarding and compliance, across multiple countries. You’ll partner with Finance, Legal, local teams and senior stakeholders to make sure our systems, data and processes are rock solid ✨.

Your key responsibilities:

Hiring & Onboarding
    •    Manage employment contracts, renewals and for new hires ensure documentation is complete and accurate.

    •    Manage internal movements/promotions, ensuring documentation, data updates and communications are in place.

Compliance, Policies & Employee Relations
    •    Maintain policy documents, employee handbook, contracts, work permits, union/employee-representative matters and health & safety compliance across geographies.
    •    Handle audits, accident reports, regulatory labour-law compliance and contract expirations for foreign employees.
    •    Be the go-to for employee Q&A on policies, procedures and labour‐related matters.

HRIS, Analytics & Continuous Improvement
    •    Ensure data accuracy in people platforms (headcount, leave records, payroll interface, contract database).
    •    Produce regular dashboards/reports (turnover, headcount, compensation, benefits uptake, etc.) to inform People strategy.
    •    Drive process automation, system integrations (HRIS ↔ Finance/IT), and operational documentation.
    •    Support global People operations scalability.

What we’re looking for
    •    Minimum 3-5 years of HR operations / People operations experience, preferably in a multi-country environment.
    •    Solid expertise in compensation & benefits, payroll administration, and salary-structure management.
    •    Experience with HRIS/data platforms, strong analytical skills and proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets.
    •    Knowledge of labour laws, employment regulations and compliance (preferably across Europe).
    •    Excellent organisational skills, able to manage multiple priorities and stakeholders.
    •    Strong problem-solving mindset: you see “how processes could be better” and you act.
