• Revamp and elevate onboarding to make every new joiner feel connected and set up for success.

• Act as a hands-on business partner, providing practical guidance on performance, development, and team dynamics - helping managers build high-performing teams.

• Collaborate with People Ops and Recruiting to ensure a seamless, positive experience across the entire employee lifecycle.

• Champion belonging and culture initiatives that reflect our values and strengthen connection across distributed teams.

• Bring a builder mindset - you’ll often create from scratch, iterate fast, and deliver practical, scalable solutions.

• Use data, feedback, and engagement insights to measure the impact of People initiatives and propose continuous improvements.

What makes a good candidate

• Proven track record as an individual contributor who enjoys being hands-on, executing projects, and collaborating in cross-functional teams.

• Previous experience partnering with engineering, data and product teams is a strong plus.

• Experience in the crypto, Web3 or other fast changing spaces is a big bonus.

• Solid knowledge of HR practices, labor laws, and compliance.

• Detail-oriented and organized - you genuinely enjoy managing contracts, systems, and processes that keep things running smoothly.

• Skilled with Slack, G Suite, Figma, HiBob, Ashby, or similar tools.

• Strong communicator who can build trust and alignment across distributed teams.

• Bilingual or native German speaker, with excellent English communication skills.

• Proactive, adaptable, and eager to create meaningful impact from day one.
