What You’ll Do

  • Serve as the bridge between the Finance and Leadership teams as the company’s first HR hire — leveraging financial and business data to drive cross-team alignment and help leadership stay focused on strategic priorities and key growth levers.

  • Build a best-in-class employee experience across the entire HR lifecycle, and implement scalable HR procedures and standards across the company.

  • Act as a trusted business partner for the entire team, serving as the go-to person for all HR-related topics — including onboarding and offboarding, payroll (outsourced), benefits and compensation administration, time-off management, HR legal matters (contracts, visas), HR policies and processes, the HRIS system, and more.

  • Lead monthly payroll cycles in collaboration with external providers.

  • Track and report on key HR KPIs, including employee turnover, NPS/satisfaction, and time-to-hire. You’ll also support the founding team in setting and tracking OKRs.

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of experience as an HR Specialist, HR Operations Manager, or in a similar generalist HR role.

  • Strong knowledge of HR and legal topics in hyper-growth environments, and the ability to build scalable processes from scratch.

  • Hands-on mentality and the ability to multitask and prioritize effectively while maintaining accuracy and rigor in everything you do.

  • Proven ability to build strong, trust-based relationships with employees, grounded in confidentiality and integrity.

  • High agency, ownership, and excellent communication and interpersonal skills — you’ll embody and represent the HR function.

Bonus Points

  • Experience working at a top-tier startup through multiple funding stages.

  • Demonstrated success building HR processes from 0 to 1.

  • Experience implementing an HRIS in a previous role.

  • Previous exposure to managing international employees, visa processes, and multi-entity organizations.

What We Offer

  • Exciting and challenging work with real impact and ownership at one of Europe’s fastest-growing Series A startups

  • Regular team events and off-sites

  • Aggressive equity compensation package

  • Paid Uber Eats & Uber home when working late

  • The most beautiful office space and work environment in Berlin
