HR Expert (m/f/d) – Inhouse Labor Law Counsel (Syndikusrechtsanwalt) 20 hrs/week
TecAlliance interconnects entirely global automotive aftermarket data & knowledge. Over 900+ colleagues work relentlessly globally together in 140 countries and counting. We are owned by 34 automotive companies like Bosch, Continental, Rheinmetall, or ZF and proudly connect all data for them.
P&O at TecAlliance means 25+ global colleagues across HR Business Partner, Talent Acquisition, Learning & Development, Compensation & Benefits, Reception, and our Operations Experts, known as PSP.
As our People & Organization (P&O) team continues to grow, we are establishing an in-house center of excellence for Labor and employment law. This role is central to that transformation—providing expert legal counsel, reducing dependency on external legal advisors, and ensuring full compliance with German Labor legislation.
The HR Expert (m/f/d) will act as a trusted legal partner to the HR team, guiding complex employment matters and interactions with works councils. Beyond legal advisory, this role will play a key part in building internal capability by delivering targeted legal training and upskilling initiatives, empowering our HR professionals to navigate Labor law confidently and independently. We are looking for a part-time colleague (20 hours per week) to join as soon as possible.
Your tasks include:
- Legal Advisory: Provide expert counsel on labor law, manage disputes, and support negotiations with works councils and unions.
- Compliance: Ensure HR practices and documents align with German labor law and collective agreements.
- Training & Upskilling: Deliver legal training to HR staff, building internal capability and reducing reliance on external counsel.
- Risk Management: Identify legal risks and support compliant performance and disciplinary processes.
- Documentation: Develop and maintain legally sound templates and agreements.
You’ll be successful in this role when you effectively reduce external legal costs by enhancing in-house capabilities and receive positive feedback from P&O colleagues and stakeholders. Additionally, your proactive legal support will boost the HR team's confidence in labor law matters and contribute to smoother, more compliant HR operations.
