tipee SA

People & Culture Manager (80-100%)

Join our tipee team!
-----------------------------

Located in the heart of Lausanne, we are an SME of about fifty passionate employees. We develop tipee, a time management application and HR portal that has been simplifying our clients' lives for over 10 years.

Operating in a participatory and agile mode, our company is organized into circles where everyone is autonomous, with a say and possibilities for evolution within the company. And all this, with a positive impact for our clients, our colleagues, the community and the environment.

To strengthen our organization, we are looking for a People & Culture Manager. This management position places you at the heart of the human element at tipee: you ensure that everyone is supported and accompanied daily, you bring to life the equity and consistency of our HR practices, and you actively contribute to our corporate culture and our employer brand.

This position combines two roles: primarily, that of People & Culture Manager, and secondarily, that of facilitator within our circles.

Your daily role
----------------------

You are part of the management and you work in close connection with all circles and coordinators.

• You listen to the needs of colleagues and coordinators, and you are the reference person for any subject touching upon the human element within tipee.
• You accompany the circles in their recruitments: you do not recruit in their place, you equip them so that they know how to do it themselves, and you support them to optimize each process.
• You design and bring to life a formalized onboarding and offboarding, so that every new arrival is well welcomed and every departure well accompanied, regardless of the circle.
• You accompany the professional evolution of employees: annual interviews in duo when necessary, discussions with the persons concerned, and continuous reflection on career paths and internal mobility.
• In collaboration with management, you manage difficult situations (resolution of tensions, reprimanding, conflict, etc.), with the discretion and listening that these moments demand.
• You participate in diversity, equity and inclusion (DEIB) within tipee, and you ensure that our practices are inclusive at every stage of the employee journey.
• You clarify and bring to life our best practices: drafting guides, conventions and charters in duo with management, and contributing to reflections on our corporate culture during management meetings.
• You carry the role of facilitator: animating rituals and stimulating collective intelligence within our circles.
• You participate in the organization and animation of our annual retreats in the green.
• You ensure that our circles and roles follow the evolution of our teams.
• You represent tipee externally, at conferences or HR fairs, and thus share our vision of the human at work.
• You promote internal knowledge sharing and the continuous improvement of our practices, notably via the monitoring of our eNPS questionnaire.

What we are looking for
------------------

• Proven experience in a role heavily oriented towards the human side: "" People & Culture, coaching, facilitation, Scrum Master, or similar function.
• A coaching posture: you prefer to equip and empower teams rather than doing it for them.
• A real capacity for listening, empathy and discretion, especially in sensitive situations.
• A spirit of initiative and the desire to evolve our practices.
• Ease with product culture, agility and facilitation (animating rituals, collective intelligence, tension management).
• A taste for representing a company externally and creating partnerships.
• A good understanding of functioning in circles and roles, or the desire to invest yourself fully in it.
• Good HR knowledge is a plus, but is not a condition.

You do not need to have a classic HR background to succeed in this role: this is not a personnel administration position. What matters above all is your ability to accompany people, to facilitate, to create trust and to be a support.

Working at tipee
---------------------

• Flexibility: modular hours, hybrid work (up to 50% remote), activity rate adaptable to the evolution of your personal life.
• Premises in Lausanne: 15 minutes walking distance from the station, or 7 by bike or scooter.
• Training: an individual budget for conferences or training on subjects that interest you.
• Participatory culture: mutual aid, dialogue, trust, taking of responsibilities.
• Commitments: certified B Corp and STI, committed to societal and environmental aspects.
• Mobility: up to CHF 300.- per year for your sustainable transport costs (CFF subscription).
• Conditions: attractive LPP benefits with a sustainable fund, benefits around parental leave, at least 5 weeks of vacation, and more.
• Company life: regular events and convivial moments that rhythm the year.
