We’re looking for a Head of People who can build and scale the foundational people systems that help teams thrive — from performance and development to engagement and culture. You’ll play a key role in shaping how we support our people as we grow, bringing structured thinking, hands-on execution, and a strategic mindset to everything you do. You’ll work cross-functionally with recruiting, operations, and leadership to co-create scalable HR programs that support our evolving team.

Please note: You must be located in the EMEA region for this role. Your application will not be considered otherwise.

What you'll do

• Partner with senior leadership to identify People priorities and shape initiatives that drive long-term success.

• Own and evolve core HR strategies and programs - from performance feedback to career development and engagement - in ways that support our business goals and reflect our values.

• Design and implement thoughtful talent management and succession planning strategies to future-proof the organization.

• Oversee compensation and benefits programs that are competitive, fair, and aligned with our mission.

• Build scalable People Ops infrastructure and processes (e.g. onboarding, documentation, tooling) with a bias for simplicity and impact.

• Develop and implement learning and development programs that unlock employee potential and drive business impact.

• Ensure compliance with employment laws and proactively manage risk through clear, consistent policies.

• Collaborate with Recruiting and People Ops to ensure a smooth, thoughtful employee experience across the full lifecycle.

• Use data to monitor and iterate on programs (e.g. pulse surveys, engagement metrics, feedback trends).

• Bring fresh ideas and frameworks to the table - then turn them into action.

• Report directly to the COO/CFO and collaborate on cross-functional strategic initiatives.

What makes a good candidate

• 9+ years of experience across People Ops, HRBP, or People Partner roles — ideally in fast-paced, scaling environments.

• Demonstrated knowledge of HR best practices, laws, and regulations.

• Proven track record supporting team growth in fast-paced, scaling environments.

• Experience creating or significantly improving HR processes and programs (not just maintaining them).

• Strong execution mindset with a love for systems and clarity — you’re someone who doesn’t just spot problems, but fixes them.

• Comfortable working closely with leadership and giving input on org-wide people topics.

• Confident communicator and collaborator — able to earn trust and build alignment.

• Experience across companies of different sizes is a plus — you understand how to scale without over-engineering.

• Experience working with remote or distributed teams.

• German language skills are a plus.
