Bucharest, Bucureşti, Romania McCann Worldgroup Romania Full time 40,000 - 60,000 per year

Are you a strategic thinker with a passion for people and a flair for building impactful teams? Do you thrive in fast-paced, creative environments where innovation and autonomy are key? If yes, we'd love to meet you.

We are an
award-winning advertising agency
, known for delivering bold, boundary-pushing work both locally and on the global stage. Our campaigns are recognized worldwide — and behind every great idea is a great team. That's where you come in.

We're looking for a dynamic and hands-on
HR Business Partner
to join our People team and help us continue to grow, inspire, and support the incredible talent driving our creative excellence.

The role is a 2 years maternity cover, with the potential of becoming a permanent collaboration, if things go well on both ends.

What You'll Do

As an HR Business Partner, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping our talent strategy and supporting leaders across the business. You'll need to balance
empathy with business insight
, combining a people-first mindset with a strong understanding of organizational priorities. Your core responsibilities will include:

Talent Acquisition & Workforce Planning

  • Lead full-cycle recruitment across a wide variety of roles — from creative to strategic, production to client service — at all levels of seniority.
  • Manage multiple vacancies at once, often with shifting project priorities and timelines.
  • Proactively adapt to changes in business needs, team structures, or client demands.
  • Work closely with hiring managers to define role requirements, build pipelines, and ensure a smooth, positive candidate experience.

Strategic HR Partnership

  • Act as a trusted advisor to team leads and department heads, offering insight on team design, performance, development, and retention.
  • Collaborate with leadership to align people strategies with business goals, using data and intuition to drive decisions.
  • Support organizational change and growth initiatives with a thoughtful, human-centered approach.

People Experience & Culture

  • Champion a diverse, inclusive, and empowering work environment.
  • Help design and deliver key HR initiatives — including onboarding, learning & development, performance reviews, and engagement programs.
  • Be a culture builder: someone who nurtures team spirit, celebrates creativity, and ensures people feel seen and supported.

Employee Relations & Coaching

  • Provide guidance and support to managers and employees on a range of topics including performance, team dynamics, and career development.
  • Handle sensitive conversations with discretion, clarity, and care, ensuring fairness and alignment with company values.

What You Bring

  • At least
    5 years of experience in recruitment
    , ideally in dynamic, creative, or fast-paced industries.
  • Minimum
    1 year in a similar HR Business Partner
    role, partnering directly with senior stakeholders.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple roles and changing priorities simultaneously.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills — empathetic, yet commercially minded.
  • A proactive, entrepreneurial mindset — you're not afraid to roll up your sleeves and make things happen.
  • Sound knowledge of HR principles and a willingness to adapt them to a creative, non-corporate environment.
  • Experience in advertising, media, tech, or a similar industry is a plus.

What We Offer

  • A creative and collaborative culture where ideas (and people) can grow.
  • A solution-focused mindset — we believe in learning, not blaming. We move forward by solving problems, not dwelling on mistakes.
  • A genuine commitment to people development — your growth matters, and we'll support you with the tools, feedback, and opportunities to keep evolving.
  • Exposure to globally recognized campaigns and world-class talent.
  • A beautiful office with spectacular views, full of natural light, great music, and even better vibes — think more like a pub than a traditional office.
  • Ongoing learning and development programs tailored to your needs.
  • Flexibility with a hybrid working model.
  • A chance to shape the future of our talent strategy and truly make your mark.
