Paris, France
Posted on Aug 1, 2025
Reporting directly to the CEO, you will play a key role in shaping and rolling out our People strategy as we transition from a high-growth, research-focused organization to manufacturing operations, with a vision to become a global leader in sustainable protein production while driving cutting-edge innovation.
We are looking for an experienced HRBP or Human Resources Manager with a Business Partnering orientation, possessing a strong background in innovative companies. The ideal candidate should be capable of integrating into a deep tech environment and managing the strategic, operational, and regulatory HR aspects related to Gourmey's projects.
In this context of change management, you will be responsible for ensuring the growth of our organization. This includes implementing HR policies aligned with Gourmey's culture, managing competencies, fostering social dialogue through collective agreements, and ensuring legal compliance with health and safety requirements at work. You will play a key role in supporting managers and employees in navigating collective and individual challenges.
Gourmey's transition to an industrial model will require a particular skill in managing projects across related but profoundly different environments.
Scope: Approximately 50 employees, primarily based in Paris, with some located in the provinces and occasional travel required (Syntec and agri-food collective bargaining agreements).
