Join the Build Phase of Xylem's New HR HUB - Budapest

In 2026, Xylem will open a new HR HUB in Budapest, and we're assembling an experienced team to shape its service culture and operational backbone. As Senior Analyst, People Services, you'll play a pivotal role in how HR support is delivered across Europe-advising on complex issues, improving systems and processes, and ensuring every employee transaction is handled with clarity and precision.

In this role, you'll be the go-to expert for lifecycle transactions and policy interpretation. When Tier 1 and Tier 2 teams encounter issues that require seasoned judgment, you'll step in-resolving cases, investigating data discrepancies, and guiding others through ambiguity. Ensuring adherence to standard operating procedures, company policies.

You'll also help new colleagues get up to speed, strengthen SOP documentation, and represent the region in ongoing improvement initiatives. Beyond day-to-day operations, you'll work closely with People Partners, CoEs, and business leaders. Your insights will help refine how we operate, where we invest in process changes, and how we use technology to build a scalable, efficient service model.

To succeed here, you'll bring:

• A degree in HR/Business and significant experience in HR shared services or operations.
• At least 5 years working with European HR processes and compliance expectations.
• Confidence in Workday and case-management platforms.
• Fluency in English and German.
• The ability to interpret policies, analyse data, and communicate complex topics clearly.
• A collaborative spirit and a passion for improving how HR services are delivered.

This is a unique chance to apply your expertise in a start-up phase environment while leveraging the stability and global reach of Xylem. You'll help build a new hub, shape service quality, and influence how HR operations function across Europe for years to come.
