## Description

Playson is looking for a** People Business Partner  with knowledge of the Ukrainian language **who can operate close to the business, work directly with leaders on organisational challenges, and help maintain a high-performance environment without turning the company into a bureaucratic HR machine.
**This role is not about running HR processes for the sake of process.**
*We are looking for someone who can:*

- help leaders make strong people decisions;

- maintain high talent quality;

- Identify organisational risks early.

- and ensure leadership, hiring, and performance problems do not silently accumulate over time.

The PBP works primarily through leaders - not around them.

### **What you’ll bring**

- **Knowledge of the Ukrainian language is a must**

- 5+ years of experience in HRBP, Head of People, HRD, organisational partnership, or similar leadership-facing roles.

- Strong experience working with leaders in fast-moving environments.

- Ability to challenge stakeholders directly, constructively, and without unnecessary politics.

- Strong judgment and ability to operate in ambiguous situations.

- High level of ownership, maturity, and communication clarity.

- Ability to connect people and topics with business reality and execution impact.

- Comfortable with difficult conversations, organisational tension, and imperfect environments.

- Ability to remain calm, structured, and pragmatic under pressure.

- Ability to build trust with strong personalities and leadership teams while still being able to challenge them when needed.

- Ability to simplify complexity instead of adding bureaucracy.

- Strong business and organisational awareness.

- Interest in scalable organisational practices, operational clarity, and AI-supported People infrastructure.

### **What you’ll do**

- Partner with leaders on hiring, team structure, organisational effectiveness, performance, ownership gaps, and delivery risks.

- Push discussions toward decisions and outcomes instead of endless alignment loops.

- Help leaders define what “strong” actually means for critical roles and challenge weak hiring compromises.

- Support leaders in addressing underperformance early and directly.

- Identify early organisational signals such as leadership gaps, burnout, unhealthy dependencies, misalignment, or execution risks.

- Help improve feedback quality, leadership practices, and decision consistency across teams.

- Support practical and scalable organisational approaches instead of overcomplicated HR frameworks.

- Contribute to improving internal documentation, operational clarity, and AI-supported People knowledge infrastructure over time.

**This role is not:**

- an employee support hotline;

- a process coordinator;

- a “culture activities” owner;

- a passive mediator avoiding uncomfortable conversations;

- or someone hiding behind frameworks instead of making judgment calls.

**The goal of the role is not to centralise ownership inside the People function.**
We expect PBPs to strengthen leadership capability, improve decision quality, and help leaders become more effective and self-sufficient over time.
**We value:**

- clarity over ambiguity;

- direct communication over corporate politeness;

- speed with accountability;

- impact over activity.

### **What we offer**

- Hybrid work & flexible schedule

- Medical insurance (+1 coverage option)

- Professional development reimbursement

- Online English classes

- Employee referral bonus program

### **Recruitment process**

- HR Interview

- Hiring Manager Interview

- Final Interview

If you are comfortable working closely with leadership, solving organisational problems, and helping strong teams scale without unnecessary bureaucracy, we’d love to hear from you.
