- You will be serving as a culture ambassador for our high performing workforce, weaving Taskrabbit’s values into every stage of the employee lifecycle
- Global Labor Expert: Strong working knowledge of employee relations, compliance, and regulatory practices across European markets is required, and US experience preferred
- Feedback Oriented: You excel at giving and receiving direct, constructive feedback, operating with the belief that candor is a tool for collective growth. You coach leaders to deliver timely, honest, and empathetic evaluations that drive high performance and individual development
- Accountable Owner: Proven experience managing large-scale people programs from ideation through company-wide execution. A track record of high ownership, balancing speed and completeness to deliver consistent quality
- Strategic Decision-Maker: You analyze information to get to root causes and have the confidence to stop gathering inputs and make a call when the business needs to move
- Change Manager: Skilled at navigating organizational change and communicating impact early to stakeholders across different geographies with clarity and urgency
- People-Centric: Excellent communication skills and the professional maturity to handle sensitive personnel matters with care
What the job involves
- We are seeking a proactive and data-driven People Partner to support our Global Employee population, with an emphasis on European markets and customer support organizations

Identify talent gaps and build development plans that prioritize internal mobility and a high performance culture
- Decision-Making in Ambiguity: Operate comfortably in the grey. Assess risks and make firm calls even with incomplete information, recognizing when "done well" is better than "perfect" to maintain business momentum
- Project Ownership: Lead and execute end-to-end projects that scale across the entire organization, ensuring critical stakeholders are brought along at every step. Change management is essential to success and communication is your priority
- Insight-Driven Strategy: Analyze regional trends and engagement metrics to proactively recommend and implement programs that improve performance and retention. Challenge the status quo and experiment with innovative solutions, leveraging AI, that raise the bar for the employee experience

Oversee complex ER cases with rigorous documentation and an unbiased approach. Partner with People Ops and Legal to ensure regional handbooks and policies are compliant and reflect Taskrabbit's culture of openness and transparency
- Employee Lifecycle & Tactical Support: Own day-to-day employee inquiries for your client groups across Slack, email, and ticketing, with a 24-hour initial response standard. Manage the unique nuances of supporting non-exempt/hourly Support populations, balancing business speed with employee needs. Proactively identify opportunities to weave Taskrabbit's core values into team programs and recognition rituals

Salary benchmarks
Our take
Back in 2011, TaskRabbit took full advantage of a growing trend - that technology enables consumers to do more commerce in their homes than ever before. Its marketplace connects users to "Taskers" that can perform virtually any role customers require, such as heavy lifting and cleaning.
TaskRabbit's product is diverse, with the potential to enter any commerce sector in the world. In 2017, the company was acquired by IKEA, which gave it the resources to undergo a data-driven European expansion which included launching in Germany and France, as well as increasing services in densely-populated UK areas.
By developing internationally, while also emphasising its offerings as a delivery service, the company has set itself up on the world stage. Having continued to grow and expand its offerings, TaskRabbit remains a key player in the gig economy, with every sign that it will continue its successes into the future.
