As Manager HR IT Systems, you shape the HR IT area of the Aebi Schmidt Group in a phase of growth and international reorientation. Your expertise and creativity are needed to develop innovative solutions, build internal know-how and shape the organization for the future. Are you attracted by a role with great responsibility as well as conceptual and at the same time hands-on tasks? Would you like to actively help shape the HR systems of a global market leader during a phase of transformation?
