HR Business Partner, Education Vertical

◦ Partner with leaders to translate business strategy into clear people priorities, with a strong focus on manager effectiveness, team performance, and retention.

◦ Work closely with the Education Vertical CEO, Barcelona leadership, and Istanbul teams to support strong coordination across locations.

◦ Work closely with Codeway's HQ HR Team to align vertical HR practices with HQ guidelines, and help contribute to and shape the HQ agenda by extracting best practices from the vertical.

◦ Build and embed best practices for managers: performance conversations, feedback culture, goal setting, and team health, raising the overall quality of leadership across the organisation.

◦ Own and continuously improve performance and salary review cycles, ensuring fairness, consistency, and strong calibration across teams.

◦ Drive and evolve compensation & benefits practices: benchmarking, internal equity, salary frameworks, and decision-making guidelines.

◦ Act as a coach and thought partner to managers, supporting them in complex situations, developing their leadership capabilities, and holding a high bar for people management.

◦ Lead complex employee relations topics with a balanced, pragmatic, and compliant approach.

◦ Collaborate closely with HR Operations to ensure policies, processes, and data are scalable, consistent, and well-executed.

This is a role for someone who wants to go beyond execution and actively influence how things are done, bringing structure, clarity, and better standards as the organisation grows.

You’ll also play a key role in Codeway’s next phase of growth in Barcelona, while staying closely connected to our Istanbul roots and existing people systems.
