Own recruiting end to end, including sourcing, pipeline management, candidate experience, offers, and closing.

Manage onboarding, employment contracts, compensation, benefits, and HR compliance.

Help build a high-performing team through responsive, thoughtful people support.

Run day-to-day office operations and welcome new team members and visitors.

Set up AI agents and workflows to support sourcing, screening, and recurring tasks.

What We're Looking For

At least 2 years of experience in recruiting, people operations, or related generalist operations.

Experience at an early-stage startup, ideally through a zero-to-one phase.

Hands-on experience managing full-cycle hiring, including sourcing, offers, and closing.

Experience with onboarding, employment contracts, or HR compliance.

Fluency in both German and English.

An organized, discreet, reliable, and people-first approach, with enthusiasm for building AI-supported workflows.

Compensation & Benefits

Competitive salary and meaningful equity. Visa sponsorship is not available.

Location

On-site in Berlin, Germany.
