People Partner, DACH

Introduction

The world runs on energy. Energy runs on the people who keep grids balanced, markets clearing, and water flowing. Volue builds the software behind them — and behind that software is a team of around 800 people across the Nordics and Europe.

Our mission is to provide innovative services critical to society, unlocking a cleaner, better and more profitable future. Working towards this goal, Volue has become a leading technology supplier and enabler of the green transition, helping energy companies simplify and optimize everyday operations.

You will be the trusted partner to leaders who are technical, fast-moving and commercially driven — operating in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. This is a fixed-term assignment of around 12 months covering a parental leave, so you will step into live cases and cycles already in motion rather than a blank page.
