Senior HRBP

About The Role

ARX Robotics is building the future of autonomous defense systems in Europe — and the people behind that mission matter just as much as the technology. As Team Lead HR for our Kyiv office, you will be the go-to HR expert on the ground: the person who ensures our team operates compliantly, grows intentionally, and feels supported every step of the way.

This is a function-owner role where you will bridge our global People & Organisation team with the realities of running HR in Ukraine. You will work closely with local leadership, bring structure to a fast-growing office, and make a direct impact on how we attract, develop, and retain exceptional people in a complex and meaningful industry

What You'll Build

• Acting as a strategic HR partner and advisor to the CEO and other stakeholders.
• Serve as HR contact for all employees in the Kyiv office — advising leadership on employment law, HR best practices, and organizational decisions.
• Maintaining strong talent culture evaluation for current and future hiring needs.
• Design and run a structured, compliant onboarding experience that sets every new hire up for success from day one.
• Own performance management cycles locally, coordinating reviews, supporting managers in meaningful development conversations, and connecting individual growth to company goals in close connection with the Headquarter office who owns the process.
• Manage HR administration, coordinating the HR administrator.
• Ensure full compliance with Ukrainian labor law, including documentation and reporting, and security requirements specific to the defense sector.
• Adapt and implement global ARX Robotics HR policies to fit the local legal and cultural context.
• Create and support learning and development initiatives that help our Kyiv team grow professionally and stay engaged. Advise and coach managers on leadership, team effectiveness, employee development, retention, performance issues, and organizational changes.
  
  

What You Bring

• 5+ years of HR experience, ideally within a multinational, defense, or miltech environment.
• Deep knowledge of Ukrainian labor law, HR compliance, and the documentation requirements that come with operating in a regulated sector.
• Hands-on experience across the full HR spectrum: recruitment (participate in the process), onboarding, performance management, employee relations, and administration.
• Ability to work independently and make sound decisions locally, while staying aligned with global HR strategy.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills — you build trust quickly, handle sensitive matters with discretion, and know how to have hard conversations.
• Experience maintaining HR records and reporting to both local authorities and international teams.
• A practical, solutions-oriented mindset — you do not wait for perfect conditions to move things forward.
• A bachelor’s degree in HR, Business Administration, or a related field.
