About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential semiconductor technology organization seeking a Senior People Development Partner to join their growing team in Aachen, Germany. This is a strategic role focused on embedding a high-performance culture by partnering with managers to deliver performance processes, enable career conversations, and strengthen leadership capability across the organization.

As a trusted partner to team leads, you will help translate established frameworks into everyday practice while building developmental partnerships that scale with business growth. This role combines business partnering expertise, coaching capability, and performance management experience to support managers in developing high-performing teams.

Responsibilities

• Partner closely with team leads as the dedicated People Partner for assigned client groups, supporting the full employee lifecycle from onboarding through offboarding
• Own the development agenda by partnering with managers on development planning, growth conversations, career progression, and performance improvement from a development perspective
• Deliver company-wide Performance Review Cycles and Mid-Year Talent Reviews by preparing managers, facilitating calibration sessions, and ensuring quality follow-through on development outcomes
• Bring the career framework into everyday practice through leveling discussions, promotion cases, and career path conversations
• Coach managers to build confidence and capability in conducting meaningful development conversations, goal setting, feedback, and regular check-ins
• Activate learning within teams by encouraging continuous development, knowledge sharing, and practical application of existing learning resources
• Provide structured input into talent reviews and succession planning through deep understanding of client groups and their development needs
• Build trusted relationships with managers and employees, acting as the first point of contact for people development topics within assigned groups
• Contribute to continuously improving people development practices by identifying opportunities to strengthen manager capability and organizational effectiveness

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience partnering directly with managers across the full employee lifecycle while supporting employee development and organizational growth
• Hands-on experience delivering performance management and talent review cycles, including manager preparation, calibration sessions, and development planning
• Strong coaching capability, with demonstrated success helping managers build their own people leadership skills rather than taking ownership of development conversations
• Experience applying career frameworks or leveling models in real business situations, including promotion discussions, growth planning, and development conversations
• Ability to build trusted relationships with stakeholders at all levels while balancing business priorities with employee development
• Comfortable working in a fast-growing, international, and highly collaborative environment where processes continue to evolve
• Strong judgment, discretion, and emotional intelligence when handling sensitive employee and performance-related topics
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence managers and build credibility across the organization
• Fluency in English is required; German is considered a strong advantage
• Advanced Microsoft 365 skills
• Previous experience in a fast-growing startup, technology, engineering, or deep-tech environment is highly desirable
