## About the role

##### About the Role

This is a full-ownership, individual contributor role building the people function from the ground up at a fast-growing AI/ML startup. Sitting directly alongside senior leadership, you will own everything from recruiting and onboarding to culture, employer branding, and HR operations as the team scales aggressively over the next six months.

##### What You'll Do

- Own end-to-end recruiting operations, including pipeline management, sourcing, screening, and hiring process design to support rapid headcount growth.

- Design and execute onboarding programs that set new hires up for success in a high-intensity environment.

- Build core people processes, policies, and frameworks from scratch to support a scaling team.

- Manage HR administration and ensure compliance with German labor law and Berlin employment practices.

##### What We're Looking For

- 5 or more years of experience in people or HR roles, ideally at a high-growth startup.

- 3 or more years of experience building or independently running a people function at an early-stage or hypergrowth startup (Series A/B stage or equivalent).

- Proven track record as a senior individual contributor, comfortable owning a people function without direct reports.

- Demonstrated expertise in German labor law and Berlin employment regulations, or a strong ability to upskill quickly with legal support.

- Experience designing onboarding programs and people processes during rapid growth phases.

- Experience building employer branding and recruitment marketing strategies.

- Proficiency with HRIS, ATS, and HR admin tooling.

- Comfort with talent assessment methodologies and maintaining a high hiring bar at pace.

- Thrives in fast-moving, ambiguous, high-intensity environments and is energized by wearing multiple hats.

- Familiarity with tech startup and venture-backed company dynamics is a plus.

- Experience with international or multi-location team compliance is a plus.
