Founder's Associate to Head of People

You'll work directly with our Head of People as the second person in a small, high-trust People & Talent function in our **T-1 VC backed Mobility Start-up.** Currently **75+ people across 3 sites and 12+ stores**, hiring toward ~95 by year-end and heading into our next stage.

This is a build role, not a maintenance one: You'll **own projects end-to-end**, work with real data, and operate at the intersection of operations, strategy and execution.

## Tasks

• **Kill manual work.** Find the processes that shouldn't exist and remove them — Notion hygiene, HRIS setup, workflow automation. You treat "we've always done it manually" as a bug.
• **Recruiting, with full ownership of your own roles.** A reliable bridge between candidates and hiring managers. You run a defined set of positions yourself; the senior and hardest-to-fill searches stay with the Head of People, so you're set up to win, not to drown.
• **Onboarding & offboarding, end to end.** From signed contract to a productive first week, and to clean, correct exits. Built to scale, not just to work once.
• **Compliance and operations, airtight.** Employment contracts, certificates, references, compliance documentation across all sites — accurate and on time, every time.
• **Employee benefits, evidence-based.** Research, benchmark, and implement benefits from data, not gut feel.
• **Employer brand & job-ad content.** Help craft how our roles and culture show up to candidates — sharp job ads, careers content, a hiring experience people talk about. _(If you also bring paid-channel skills, great, but it's not what this role is judged on.)_
• **Your own judgment.** If you spot something missing or broken, you say so — and then you fix it.

## Requirements

• Some experience in start-up ecosystem and/or people systems is a definitive plus. Internships count.
• Structured and precise: nothing falls through the cracks, nothing gets left half-finished
• **Fluent German (C2)** is a hard requirement. Professional-level English
• You think in systems: if you do something twice, by the third time you're already building the process
• Works independently and closes the loop without being chased
• Discreet – you'll handle sensitive information and take that seriously
• Comfortable with ambiguity and able to prioritise when everything feels urgent
