At Trafilea, the People Business Partner (PBP) is not a support function, it is a strategic co-leadership role. In Marketing, this means being the driving force behind how our teams are structured, scaled, and enabled to achieve world-class results.

Unlike in many companies, a PBP at Trafilea operates with a seniority equivalent to a business leader, with direct accountability for organizational transformation and the success of People initiatives at the departmental level. You will work hand-in-hand with Marketing leadership to shape strategy, ensure business scalability, and foster a high-performing environment where people thrive, performance accelerates, and the department can deliver at the pace of the company’s ambitions.

This is a mission-critical role: you will directly influence how quickly and effectively our Marketing organization can attract the right talent, scale processes, and adapt to the ever-changing dynamics of digital growth.
