Job description
Volue is a market leader in technologies and services that power the green transition. Volue provides innovative solutions, systems and insights to industries critical to society.

The role
You will be the trusted partner to leaders who are technical, fast-moving and commercially driven. Since Volue has acquired smartPulse, Turkey has grown into one of our most dynamic hubs, and the People agenda here is still being written. We are looking for a self-going Senior People Partner who sits in the room when organizational decisions get made, challenges the thinking, and then carries it through to execution.

- Translating Turkish labor law and regulation into practical decisions leaders can act on
- Governing local HR operations together with payroll, benefits and legal partners
- Owning recruitment processes end to end, from sourcing and screening candidates to conducting interviews, managing offers and coordinating the onboarding process.
- Contributing to People initiatives that strengthen employee engagement, company culture and the overall employee experience in Turkey.
- Being the voice of Turkey in Volue's global People agenda, not just delivering it - you will help build what comes next
What you need to succeed
- 8+ years of experience in People/HR roles, including at least 4 years in a Senior HRBP, People Partner or equivalent strategic HR role
- Proven ownership of employee relations cases and organizational change
- Strong working knowledge of Turkish labor law and HR compliance
- Fluency in Turkish and English - you will work with local leaders and an international People team every day
- Experience in tech or engineering environments is a strong advantage
- The judgment to decide locally with the ability to stay aligned globally - you will be our most senior People voice on the ground in Turkey
Reasons to join Volue team and what we offer
- We sit at the center of the energy transition. The decisions our customers make with our software affect how entire societies are. That is the work you would be supporting - and the leaders you would be coaching.
- You will join a global People team that is trusted, close to the business, and given real room to be able to shape how Volue grows.
- A competitive compensation and benefits package
In Volue, we cherish each employee's competence, ideas and personality. Let your skills and talent be a part of our team - and let us leave our mark on the world together!
