## Job description

## About BlaBlaCar

BlaBlaCar is the world’s leading community-based travel app enabling 40 million active members to share rides across 41 countries each year. Its technology matches drivers with empty seats with passengers heading the same way, so they can share the cost of the trip.

BlaBlaCar’s mission is to be the go-to marketplace for shared travel, bringing carpooling, buses, and trains together in one place. Globally, the BlaBlaCar Group also includes Obilet, the leading online bus ticketing platform in Turkey. By partnering with over 20,000 operators, the Group offers a wide choice of affordable and sustainable transport solutions.

In 2025, the BlaBlaCar community connected 2.7 million meeting points worldwide and enabled 138 million connections between travelers. Drivers saved 568 million euros by carpooling, and all of the BlaBlaCar Group’s mobility services contributed to avoiding 4 million tonnes of CO2 emissions.

## Your responsibilities

- Coach managers through the key moments of the team member experience (performance, development, mobility, change, difficult situations) and advise them on team management.
- Act as a trusted advisor to business leaders: diagnose people challenges, using both qualitative insight and data, and recommend and drive the right solutions.
- Anticipate the people needs of your scope by translating the business roadmap into concrete People actions, and build the HR roadmap of your perimeter.
- Ensure smooth coordination between managers, team members and the central People team (Operations, Talent Acquisition, Talent Development, Compensation & Benefits, Engagement).
- Help managers and team members understand and apply our people philosophy, policies and tools (hiring, onboarding, levels, performance, compensation and benefits, remote work).
- Run the performance and talent cycles for your scope with rigor and consistent standards, and contribute to talent reviews and succession discussions.
- Support organizational changes (team design, headcount planning, reorganizations) in compliance with the applicable legal framework, with the support of Senior HRBPs and Legal on high-risk or complex cases.
- Handle employee relations topics (departures, disciplinary matters, underperformance), and escalate off-grid or legally sensitive cases at the right time.
- Build your business and financial acumen: monitor workforce planning, work with FP&A and Compensation & Benefits, and use HR data to back your recommendations to managers.
- Lead or co-lead an HR program with an impact on attraction, retention or engagement.
- Contribute to the HRBP practice: share best practices, help build shared playbooks (underperformance, departures, promotions) and bring field feedback back to the central team.

## Your Qualifications

- ± 5 years of experience as an HRBP, ideally in an international scale-up (preferably tech).
- Solid business understanding and a genuine interest in how HR contributes to business results.
- Credibility with managers: you coach them and are not afraid to challenge them, up to ExCo level.
- Good experience handling employee relations cases, including some complex situations.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, humility, and a taste for sharing and learning in a multicultural environment.
- Comfort with change: you can prioritize and focus on value-added work in a fast-moving, multi-team context.
- Fluency in English (French is a plus).
