HR Business Partner

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. As HR Business Partner at BlaBlaCar, you are the key People partner for your teams. You shape a positive employee experience, help leaders succeed and make sure our talent keeps growing. You support employees across their full life cycle and work daily with managers to bring them the best of our central People expertise. You own the HR topics for your scope. Your core goal is to drive the people actions our teams need to deliver on their roadmap. You also contribute to cross-functional programs that strengthen BlaBlaCar’s ability to attract, retain and engage talent. You take part in the evolution of our HRBP practice by sharing your learnings and best practices, and you benefit from the guidance of our Senior HRBPs on complex topics.

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.

• 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.
