People Operations Coordinator

Strava is the app for active people. With over 180 million athletes in more than 185 countries, it’s more than tracking workouts—it’s where people make progress together, from new habits to new personal bests. No matter your sport or how you track it, Strava’s got you covered. Find your crew, crush your goals, and make every effort count. Start your journey with Strava today.

Our mission is simple: to motivate people to live their best active lives. We believe in the power of movement to connect and drive people forward.

This is a part-time (3 days/week), fixed-term role covering a period of parental leave in our Berlin office. Berlin is home to Strava's product development centre - a team of talented engineers, designers and product thinkers.

We are looking for an organised, people-first People & Office Coordinator to be the operational heartbeat of our Berlin workplace. You'll make sure our team has a great day-to-day experience and that new joiners across Germany, Ireland and France feel genuinely welcomed and set up for success from day one.

You'll own the Berlin office environment end to end while supporting the full employee lifecycle across our European locations - from onboarding administration through to offboarding. Working closely with our international People team, you'll be a visible, warm presence for everyone who walks through our Berlin doors. It's a varied, hands-on role that sits at the intersection of People and Workplace - no two days look the same.

This role reports to the Director of People International.

This role is based in our Berlin office three days per week.

• Own the Berlin office day to day: facilities, supplies, health and safety, guest access, room bookings, snacks and the things that make the office a great place to work

• Be the welcoming face for new joiners on their first day: office tours, onboarding and benefit sessions.

• Coordinate on-site interviews and candidate hosting, ensuring a smooth and positive experience for every visitor

• Support onboarding administration for new hires across Germany, Ireland and France

• Process and track vendor invoices - collecting, scanning, merging and sending to Finance on schedule

• Support monthly payroll inputs under the guidance of the People Ops team; entering new joiner data, tracking changes and maintaining accuracy

• Run compliance reporting on a regular cycle: probation tracking, absence records, annual leave balances

• Assist with visa support letters and immigration logistics in coordination with the relevant partners

• Support the global Workplace team with Berlin-based event coordination and local logistics as needed.

• Experience in an office coordination, People Ops, or administrative role - ideally in a fast-moving tech or scale-up environment

• Working knowledge of German employment legislation, and knowledge of French or Irish employment legislation is a plus.

• Fluency in German and English - both are essential for this role

• Experience using an HRIS; Workday familiarity is a plus.

• Highly organised, with strong attention to detail and a track record of managing multiple priorities accurately and simultaneously.

• A natural communicator and listener - someone who builds trust quickly and brings a balanced, thoughtful approach to every interaction.

• Comfortable working independently in a fast-moving environment, while staying closely connected to a distributed team.

• Deeply curious, values-driven, and motivated to help people - and the world - be more active.

• You're energised by variety. You're just as comfortable setting up a new joiner's desk as you are tracking payroll data in a system, and you take pride in doing both well.

• Based in Berlin and able to be on-site three days per week
