The posting

ABOUT US

Harmattan AI is a next-generation defense prime building autonomous and scalable defense systems. Following the close of a $200M Series B, valuing the company at $1.4 billion, we are expanding our teams and capabilities to deliver mission-critical systems to allied forces.

Our work is guided by clear values: building technologies with real-world impact, pursuing excellence in everything we do, setting ambitious goals, and taking on the hardest technical challenges. We operate in a demanding environment where rigor, ownership, and execution are expected.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As HR Generalist, you are the go-to HR contact for managers and teams in Crissier and Zurich. You turn company priorities into concrete HR actions: contract administration, onboarding, development, employee relations and compliance with Swiss employment law.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Manager & Employee Partnership

- Work in close collaboration with R&D management to support them in the design of the organization

- Act as the single HR contact for Switzerland: present daily in Crissier, and a reliable remote partner for Zurich with regular visits

- Give managers concrete, operational HR answers grounded in Swiss law, and address employee concerns promptly

- Communicate with the teams with pedagogy to support and explain the organization

Stay aligned with the Paris HR team and group policy while remaining locally compliant

Local Compliance & Employment Law

- Own compliance with Swiss employment law across the employee lifecycle (contracts, probation, working time, leave, termination) and adapt group contracts and HR policies to Swiss requirements

- Manage relations with cantonal labor and migration authorities (Vaud and Zurich): filings, registrations, inspections

- Handle employee representation obligations as headcount grows and keep leadership ahead of regulatory change

Payroll & Social Declarations

- Own the monthly payroll cycle with our provider and Finance: validate variable inputs (absences, overtime, bonuses, joiners, leavers) and cross-check payslips

- Ensure timely social and tax declarations and manage benefits (health, accident, pension)

HR Operations & Personnel Administration

- Manage individual employee situations end to end: disciplinary procedures, conflict resolution, sensitive cases

- Handle personnel administration (contracts, amendments, files, certificates), run absences in HiBob and produce HR metrics

- Own work permit applications (G, B,L) for foreign nationals joining Crissier and Zurich: file with the DGEM, follow up until approval, and handle related cantonal and residence formalities

Onboarding, Offboarding & Mobility

- Work with Talent Acquisition, who own recruitment: take over once an offer is accepted and run contracts, administration and onboarding for both sites

- Handle offboarding with correct Swiss formalities and clear handover

CANDIDATE REQUIREMENTS

- Master's degree or equivalent in HR, law, management or a related field

- HR Manager certificate (Certificat de Gestionnaire RH, HRSE)

- 10+ years in generalist HR or HR Business Partner roles, ideally in an SME or scale-up

- Strong knowledge of Swiss employment law and social insurance; experience with work permits (G, B, L) is a plus

Skills

- Credibility with managers and engineers; able to advise and decide

- Rigor, confidentiality, autonomy and a taste for building processes

- Comfort with an HRIS (HiBob) and reporting tools

Languages

- Fluent French and English; Swiss-German is an asset for Zurich

Nice to have

- Experience in defense, aerospace or deeptech, and with multi-site teams

We look forward to hearing how you can help shape the future of autonomous defense systems at Harmattan AI.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
