Workplace and People Operations Manager

About the Role

This is a hands-on, full-ownership role responsible for keeping a fast-growing Berlin office running smoothly while shaping the culture that defines the team. You will own everything from day-to-day office logistics to the people processes that make every new hire feel set up for success from day one. At a company scaling quickly, this role is critical to making sure operations never become a bottleneck.

What You'll Do

Manage all Berlin office operations, including supplies, equipment, workspace organisation, and productivity systems.

Own the full employee lifecycle, covering seamless onboarding (hardware, access, desk ready on arrival) through thoughtful offboarding.

Design and run culture initiatives that keep the team connected and engaged as headcount grows.

Build automations for workplace and people ops workflows using AI and no-code tools to reduce manual effort.

Handle ad-hoc requests and jump in wherever the team needs support, no two weeks look the same.

What We're Looking For

2 or more years of experience in workplace, office, or people operations, ideally at a startup.

Proven track record building and implementing operations processes including onboarding, offboarding, and office management.

Hands-on experience managing office supplies, equipment procurement, and inventory.

Experience designing and executing culture initiatives and internal team events.

Comfortable building automations using AI and no-code tools to streamline operations workflows.

Organised, reliable, and detail-oriented with a process-builder mindset that scales solutions instead of solving the same problem twice.

Owner mentality: you take initiative and move without waiting for detailed instructions.

Fluent in both English and German.

Location

On-site in Berlin, Germany. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
