HR Manager - France

We are looking for an HR Manager to establish and drive our HR function in France.

You will join our French office of 25 colleagues and play a key role in building a strong local HR setup. Until now, HR has been part of our Southern Europe structure using a local lever, and this new role will become our dedicated HR presence in France.

Eurowind Energy is a global and leading developer, owner and operator of energy parks. Based in Denmark, we operate in 16 different countries across Europe, and we are continuously growing our project portfolio. We believe in a future of renewable energy, and we have an ambitious plan of becoming the next generation’s “Power Major”. Based on a full value chain from greenfield project development to energy trading, more than 700 team members are dedicated to creating a greener future fueled with nothing but renewable energy!

Your role

You will report to the Country Manager in France with a matrix reference to the Global Head of HR in Denmark. You will also be part of an international HR team of 10 colleagues, with 8 located at HQ in Denmark and HR managers based in Poland and Germany. You will collaborate with Finance Director and Office Manager/HR Admin.

The role offers broad responsibility and strong support from HQ.

• Build and manage workforce planning (headcount, internal mobility, apprentices, interns, temporary staff).
• Develop and monitor the HR budget (payroll, social charges, training, benefits, external advisors, tools).
• Implement skills mapping and succession planning for key positions.
• Deploy performance management and reviews, formalize Individual Development Plans (IDPs) and monitor Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs).

Full end-to-end ownership of the recruitment value chain

• Lead and drive all recruitments in France, ensuring timely hires that support business growth and organizational build-up.
• Act as a trusted advisor to local management on talent needs, hiring priorities, and succession planning.
• Ensure a high-quality and structured recruitment process that strengthens employer branding and candidate experience.

Employer Branding & Internal Communication (Beyond Recruitment)

• Define the HR editorial calendar (newsletters, onboarding kits, QWL/QVCT campaigns).
• Initiate company rituals (welcome coffees, all‑hands meetings, recognition initiatives).
• Manage local CSE (if applicable).
• Manage employer reviews (Glassdoor/Welcome), including response guidelines.
• Be proactive to empower the brand in France; partnerships with engineering schools, participate in exhibition, try to meet other HR in the energy field.

In collaboration with local Office Manager/ HR Administrator

• Governance & Documentation: Ensure compliance, quality, and continuous updating of HR policies and documentation with the support of HR Administrator.
• Ensure 100% compliance with local legal requirements.
• Oversee payroll administration in compliance with existing employment contracts.

Your profile

• You have a minimum of 7 years of experience from a similar HR role, preferably in an international or standalone setup.
• You thrive in a broad role where you handle the full HR value chain – from operational tasks to strategic HR partnering.
• You are comfortable working independently while collaborating closely with local management and an international HR team.
• You take ownership, work in a structured way and translate business needs into pragmatic HR solutions.
• You are fluent in English, both written and spoken.

What we offer

• A role with significant responsibility and influence.

We manage our own portfolio of projects and at the same time, we perform technical and financial management of projects.
