Your mission as a (Junior) People Operations & Workplace Partner

We're looking for a proactive and enthusiastic (Junior) People Operations & Workplace Partner to help shape an exceptional office experience across our locations and grow your expertise in People Operations. This hybrid role offers the opportunity to support our team's day-to-day workplace needs while dedicating part of your time to learning and contributing to broader People Operations tasks, such as handling employee queries and assisting with payroll processes.

As a key member of the team, you'll focus on two primary touchpoints with our employees:

• Our physical hubs (with a particular focus on our main office in Hamburg), where you'll ensure the office runs smoothly and remains a place of collaboration, connection, and creativity.
• Employee support throughout their journey, assisting with People Operations initiatives to streamline processes and create a seamless experience.

This role offers the perfect blend of workplace management and hands-on experience in people-focused operations, making a real impact on our team's daily experience and growth.

What you'll be doing

• Oversee the daily operations of our Hamburg office, ensuring a comfortable, well-maintained, and efficient workspace for all team members.
• Provide logistical and operational support for team members working in any of our global hubs (through WeWork) by assigning and managing accesses globally.
• Support and co-drive People Operations by addressing employee queries and contributing to payroll-related processes to ensure a smooth and reliable employee experience.
• Support administratively other teams (e.g. Finance, Legal) by handling company paperwork, including processing signatures, drafting letters, and managing essential documents to support our teams.
• Ensure all offices meet local health and safety standards, implementing necessary updates and training as required.
• Support the coordination of onsite team events, meetings, and visits by arranging space, catering, and materials as needed.

You will thrive in this role if

• You have a degree in Business Administration, Hospitality/Facilities Management, Human Resources Management or similar - or bring some experience in workplace management, office coordination and/or People.
• Ideally, you have had exposure to working in/with a remote/hybrid organisation.

• You have strong attention to detail and the ability to juggle multiple tasks.
• You are proficient in German (C1/C2) and fluent in English, with excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
• You're highly organised, pragmatic, and empathetic, with a proactive mindset and a passion for creating meaningful employee experiences.
• You take ownership and are not afraid to roll up your sleeves, always eager to help out a team member and proactively keep stakeholders informed.
• You like handling paperwork :)
• You are based in Hamburg and are willing to be in the office approximately 80% of the week.

What's in it for you?

• Flexibility Policy - Our flexibility policy means there is no hard cap on the number of vacation days you can take.
• This role requires you to work from our Hamburg office, but you will have the opportunity to occasionally work outside Germany.
• All the hardware you need and your own MacBook.
