• Someone with a friendly vibe, empathic & trustworthy.

• Solid knowledge of German labor law and payroll processes.

• fluent German (C1-C2) and strong communication skills—you can explain complex topics clearly and with a human touch.

• A proactive, organized way of working paired with a strategic mindset, you can zoom out to see the big picture.

• Someone excited to be part of a dynamic, growing startup environment (not a corporate hierarchy)

‍

• Own HR operations: contracts, HRIS, payroll coordination (with an external partner), and all the admin bits that keep things running smoothly.

• Level-up onboarding/offboarding so every team member feels welcome from day one and leaves on a positive note.

• Partner with leadership on culture, engagement, and employee surveys, then drive meaningful changes.

• Lead end-to-end recruiting for selected roles: from active sourcing and interviews to offers.
