Why This Role?We’re hiring an HR Coordinator & Office Manager to help support and scale our Berlin office during an exciting period of growth.
This role sits within the People team, with a close partnership and dual reporting relationship into our Workplace function. You’ll partner closely with two distributed teams across different countries, helping create a great employee experience both in-person and virtually for our Berlin team and broader global organization.
A big part of this role is being comfortable operating across both environments:
the physical office environment
the distributed virtual environment
You’ll help create a welcoming office experience in Berlin while also supporting employees through Slack, onboarding coordination, People workflows, and distributed collaboration with the global People team.
We’re looking for someone highly organized, proactive, service-oriented, and energized by both in-person interaction and remote collaboration. This role is ideal for someone with prior HR or People coordination exposure alongside strong office or operational coordination experience.
This is an opportunity to become a highly trusted operator inside a scaling company and gain meaningful exposure across People Operations, employee experience, workplace operations, and international team support.
We care deeply about growth and development. We’re looking for someone ambitious who wants to grow their career over time - while first building strong ownership and credibility in this role.
This role is ideal for someone who:
is highly organized and detail-oriented
enjoys helping people and creating a strong employee experience
communicates clearly and professionally in-person and in writing
is proactive, reliable, and responsive
thrives in fast-moving environments
enjoys both office-based interaction and distributed remote collaboration
You’ll work on things like:
onboarding and offboarding coordination
employee documentation and HR systems
supporting employee questions and People team Slack channels
supporting German employment-related processes and local compliance coordination
office operations and workplace experience
team events, office culture, and vendor coordination
We’re looking for someone who can create a positive employee experience both virtually and in-person — someone thoughtful, organized, and highly dependable.
This role is best suited for someone who:
has experience in HR coordination, office management, workplace operations, or administrative support
has some exposure to HR or People Operations processes
has familiarity with German employment practices or local employment coordination
is fluent in both German and English
is comfortable supporting globally distributed teams
can operate autonomously while keeping multiple stakeholders informed
is comfortable balancing priorities across two teams and managers
This role has real opportunity for growth and exposure over time. We care far more about potential, ownership, and attitude than having a perfectly polished background already.
If some of the above doesn’t line up perfectly with your experience, we still encourage you to apply!
We value and celebrate diversity and strive to create an inclusive work environment for all. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and are committed to providing equal opportunities. Should you require any accommodations during the recruitment process, please submit an Accommodations Request Form, and we will work together to meet your needs.
