Head of Human Resources / Leiter Personal (m/w/d)

Über die Bovensiepen Gruppe

What Burkard Bovensiepen founded in 1965 in Kaufbeuren is today an internationally recognized family-owned company with its own handwriting: The Bovensiepen Group – led by his sons Andreas and Florian Bovensiepen – stands for automotive claim, craftsmanship excellence, and the conviction that every detail counts. "Born and made in Buchloe" is no slogan, but a promise: What happens here is created with dedication, precision, and an unconditional willingness to quality.

With the transfer of the ALPINA brand rights to BMW by December 31, 2025, we are in the midst of one of the most exciting phases of our company's history: six specialized departments, a standalone brand, around 200 employees. The organizational foundations are laid. Now begins the real task: bringing new organization to life, anchoring changed leadership culture, and winning and developing the right people for the next phase.

We are looking for a personnel management that does not manage, but takes action itself and understands that organizational development in the middle class starts in the machine room and not in PowerPoint.

Aufgaben

Your role – organization shape, leadership develop

As Head of Human Resources / Personnel Manager (m/w/d), you are responsible for the entire HR department of the Bovensiepen Group and report directly to the management. You make a central contribution to the further development of the organization. Your team is deliberately kept small, which means: You are not only a leadership figure, but work daily operationally with – from employment contract to feedback conversation to development conversation.

Your focus lies on what after reorientation is the real challenge: A changed organization with new roles, changed responsibilities, and a leaner structure in everyday life to bring to life. You work closely with management to enable leadership figures for the new alignment and form a culture that connects performance, self-responsibility, and cohesion.

Your tasks

• Implementation and anchoring of the new organizational structure: roles clarify, interfaces sharpen, operational support between department heads and department leaders
• Counseling and sparring with management as well as leadership figures in all personnel-related questions
• Targeted development of leadership figures, particularly in the areas of cooperation, communication, and conflict resolution
• Active shaping of cultural change: values, cooperation, and performance understanding in an organization that is redefining itself
• Daily HR business: recruitment, onboarding, contract management, working time models, development conversations, certificates
• Steering and quality assurance of external pay calculations
• Further development of efficient and practical HR processes.

This role is not an administrative function. You are responsible for HR operationally from the middle of the company – and shape significantly how leadership and cooperation will be lived in the Bovensiepen Group in the future.

Qualifikation

Your profile – character counts, qualification follows

Your drive is to get things moving and not just concepts about them. You take action yourself, hold your ground in difficult situations, and are used to moving big themes with lean structures.

What you bring

• Multiple years of experience as a personnel manager in a medium-sized company, ideally with a production background
• Experience in building or rebuilding organizational structures – not as an external consultant, but in operational responsibility
• Competence in developing leadership figures: coaching, feedback processes, team development
• Readiness to take on responsibility for HR operations in a lean organization – the role is not just a leadership function
• Communication strength at all levels: from apprentice to management, even if the messages are uncomfortable
• Fundamental knowledge of individual and collective labor law.

What we don't read in your CV is more important than any certification: The willingness to actively shape a family-owned company in its next phase – with clarity, proximity, and operational strength.

Benefits

What we offer

Family-owned company for over 60 years: flat hierarchies, short decision-making paths, no conglomerate logic. Your ideas land directly where decisions are made.

• Direct reporting line to management: no level in between
• Earnest shaping responsibility: your handwriting in organization, culture, and leadership development
• Attractive remuneration package: fixed salary and performance-based bonus model
• Long-term perspective: you take over a key role in a newly established, future-oriented company
• Buchloe location in the Allgäu: high quality of life, direct connection to Munich, Memmingen, and Augsburg.
