HR & EOR Operations Manager
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Sep 24, 2026. First seen by Alion on Sep 24, 2026.
Part-Time | Switzerland (Remote) | Global EOR & HR Platform | Employed via Swiss Entity
ABOUT THE CLIENT
Our client is a fast-growing global HR, payroll, and compliance platform operating across 180+ regions. The company combines technology with owned entities, in-house legal and payroll expertise, transparent pricing, and dedicated human support - helping businesses of all sizes hire talent anywhere in the world.
The company is driven by a constant pursuit of innovation, expanding its product suite to create integrated HR solutions for businesses from fledgling startups to global enterprises.
ABOUT THE ROLE
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.
As part of the role, you will serve as the named Responsible Person for the Swiss entity under SECO/Zürich personnel leasing law, fulfilling a standing legal obligation tied to our EOR licence. This means you must be genuinely employed, operationally involved, and present in Switzerland - not an external adviser lending a name to a form.
Day-to-day workload is manageable within a 50% FTE, and you will be fully supported by the company's global HR, payroll and compliance teams. Other concurrent work or mandates are welcome, provided they do not interfere with your availability and supervision of the entity's activities.
This role is a strong fit for HR or EOR professionals already freelancing, holding consulting mandates, or looking to add a substantive part-time role to their portfolio.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Act as the named Responsible Person for the Swiss entity under Swiss personnel leasing (SECO) 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.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
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.
WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE DIFFERENT
This is a rare opportunity for an experienced HR or EOR professional in Switzerland to take on a meaningful operational role at a global scale without committing to a full-time position.
You will hold a real and recognised legal position within the Swiss entity, with direct contact with SECO and cantonal authorities, while being backed by an experienced international HR, payroll and compliance team.
The 50% structure makes this accessible to consultants, freelancers and professionals looking to add a substantive part-time engagement alongside existing work. International EOR or HR experience is fully valid - experience does not need to be Swiss-based, though familiarity with Swiss employment law and social insurance is an advantage.
The company values a builder mentality - people who want to improve processes, not just maintain them.
WORKING ENVIRONMENT
Fully remote within Switzerland.
Part-time 50% FTE with flexible hours.
Direct collaboration with the global HR, payroll and compliance teams.
Meaningful presence in Switzerland required (~50% benchmark) - remote-only offshore oversight does not meet regulatory requirements.
WHAT WE OFFER
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.
