Overview
PredictBy is a research and consulting firm focused on social, behavioural and data science. We conduct rigorous applied research and consulting projects for private companies and public institutions. In particular, PredictBy maintains a strong reputation for delivering high-quality projects for European Institutions and other EU agencies. Our interdisciplinary team is based in Barcelona (Spain), with offices in Bonn (Germany) and has broad expertise in EU policy and regulation in the areas of health and digital transformation.
PredictBy has grown from just 6 people when it was founded less than five years ago to more than 40 today. We have recently joined a larger European group and expect to continue growing in the coming years. With that growth comes the need to professionalise how we support our people while preserving the culture and flexibility that have characterised PredictBy from the beginning. This is therefore a good moment for us to bring dedicated HR expertise into the team. We are looking for someone who can take ownership of day-to-day people operations at PredictBy, support our managers and employees, and help us develop more robust HR processes as the company continues to evolve.

Why join us?
PredictBy has an open and collaborative culture. At PredictBy you will be trusted to manage your own time and priorities with guidance from your manager. Our values of transparency and mutual respect underpin everything that we do and means we have a positive, collegiate, and flexible working environment.
We are a growing company, which also means that not everything is set in stone.



This role offers the opportunity to take ownership of an important function, improve the way we do things and help shape how people operations are implemented at PredictBy, within the broader HR direction, policies and priorities set at Group level.

The role
We are looking for a People & HR Officer to take responsibility for the day-to-day HR operations of PredictBy and provide practical support to our managers and employees.
This is a broad, hands-on generalist role combining people support with HR administration. You will be the main HR point of contact within PredictBy, while working closely with our external payroll and labour advisors. You will be reporting both to the PBY Corporate Lead and Group HR Director.
Given our size and continued growth, we are looking for someone who is comfortable working beyond narrowly defined responsibilities when needed. From time to time, this may include supporting broader staff-related administration or internal operations that sit adjacent to HR.

Key responsibilities:

Act as the main point of contact for PredictBy managers and employees on day-to-day HR matters.
Manage core HR administration, including contracts, onboarding and offboarding documentation, employee records, absences and contractual changes.
Coordinate with our external payroll and labour advisors to ensure accurate payroll processing and implementation of contractual changes.
Support managers throughout the employee lifecycle, including onboarding, performance reviews and employee relations matters.
Implement PredictBy and Group HR policies, standards, processes and tools, adapting local procedures where required and agreed.
Coordinate day-to-day Spanish employment matters with the company's external labour advisers, escalating complex or legally sensitive matters as appropriate.
Maintain accurate HR systems, employee records and HR reporting.




Report to the Group HR Director on HR initiatives involving PredictBy and collaborate with other companies within the Group.
As PredictBy continues to grow, contribute where needed to broader people-related administration and internal operations.

Required skills and experience
At least 3 years of relevant professional experience in an HR generalist, HR operations or people administration role.
Good practical knowledge of Spanish employment law and HR administration.
Experience coordinating payroll and employment matters with external payroll providers or labour advisors.
Experience using HRIS tools and a good command of Excel.
Ability to work autonomously and take ownership of day-to-day HR matters.
Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities and stakeholders.
A rigorous and discreet approach to handling confidential and sensitive information.
Excellent interpersonal skills and a practical, solution-oriented approach.
Fluency in English and Spanish, both spoken and written (C2). Catalan is highly desirable.
Knowledge of Dutch or Italian would be an advantage.

What we offer
Salary: EUR 35.000 – 40.000 gross per annum (FTE) plus an array of benefits, including office lunch and complementary refreshments.
Location: Barcelona. Please note that appointments will require having the right to work in the EU.
