• Linguistic Mastery: Native-level French and fluent English are essential. You will be communicating intensely with French stakeholders and clients every single day.

• Audit Mindset: You have a sharp eye for detail and experience in Quality Assurance or Auditing, particularly regarding legal documents or HR processes.

• Educational Background: A University or Post-Graduate degree is preferred, though we prioritize proven corporate experience and leadership maturity.

• Technical Savvy: You are comfortable navigating HRIS and digital contracting tools to drive team efficiency.

Your Responsibilities:

As the Team Lead for Early Careers, you will report directly to the GPS Manager and take full ownership of the Budapest-based operational delivery.

• Lead & Develop: Manage a team of 8 FTEs, overseeing their daily performance, professional development, and workload distribution as the team continues to scale.

• Operational Delegation: Take over the day-to-day operational leadership from the GPS Manager, ensuring smooth service delivery without constant supervision.

• Contract Oversight: Supervise the end-to-end creation of complex French labor contracts and onboarding documentation, ensuring they meet strict legal and company standards.

• Stakeholder Partnership: Act as the primary point of contact for colleagues and clients in France, managing expectations and solving complex queries in real-time.

• Quality Control: Conduct high-level audits of team outputs to mitigate risk and ensure the highest accuracy in contractual data.

• Process Improvement: Partner with the Senior GBS Manager to refine workflows, adapting to the re-organization and increasing volume of the Early Careers department.

We Offer:

• Extensive on-the-job training
• Working hybrid/remote
• An inspiring working environment in which you, together with your team and colleagues, will make a difference for our client
• Opportunity to work with a world-class recruitment business with leading technology, tools and innovation which allow our teams to focus on the human side of recruitment and provide a first-class experience to our candidates.
