Talent & Operations Coordinator; m​/f​/d

Company

We are a Berlin-based B2C fintech operating in stealth, founded by two repeat founders (YC alum, exit) with prior 10+ year careers in investment banking and strategy consulting, respectively. We recently raised investment to assemble a 30 people, exceptionally strong core team.

Our culture is built on ownership and clarity. We align with you on vision, then set KPIs and required resources together, and then trust your drive and expertise.

The Opportunity

We're scaling from 5 to 30 people over the next 12 months, and we need someone to own our talent acquisition while helping build the operational foundation that enables this growth.

This is a hands‑on, versatile role for someone who thrives in the dynamic environment of an early‑stage startup. Your primary focus will be recruiting: sourcing, screening, and coordinating hiring across technical, commercial, and operational roles. But you'll also be instrumental in building our people operations and jumping in wherever needed as we scale.

If you're energized by variety, love building from scratch, and want to grow alongside a fast‑moving company, this role offers significant impact and development opportunity.

What you’ll do

Talent Acquisition

• Own full-cycle recruiting coordination across all departments (tech, marketing, sales, operations)
• Source candidates through Linked In, job boards, networks, and creative outreach
• Conduct initial screening calls to assess fit, motivation, and alignment with our culture
• Coordinate interview processes and ensure excellent candidate experience
• Build our employer brand and talent pipeline for future hiring needs
• Support hiring managers with market insights and recruiting best practices

People & Operations Support

• Coordinate onboarding for new hires (contracts, equipment, first-week experience)
• Maintain employee records and HR documentation
• Support office coordination and vendor management as needed
• Help document and improve operational processes as we scale
• Jump in on operational projects where extra hands are needed
• Contribute to building our company culture and employee experience

What you bring

• 2-4 years of experience in recruiting, talent acquisition, HR, or people operations (startup experience strongly preferred)
• Hands‑on recruiting experience - you know how to source candidates, write compelling outreach, and assess fit
• Startup mentality - comfortable with ambiguity, changing priorities, and wearing multiple hats
• Organizational excellence - you're detail‑oriented, can manage multiple processes simultaneously, and nothing falls through the cracks
• Strong communication skills - you can engage candidates professionally and represent our company compellingly
• Proactive and resourceful - you see what needs doing and figure out how to do it
• Fluent in English (written and spoken);
  German is a plus

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience recruiting for technical roles (developers, engineers)
• Knowledge of German employment law and HR compliance
• Experience in fintech or regulated industries

• Competitive salary
• Equity/stock options - you'll own part of what we're building
• On-site in Berlin-Kreuzberg, with flexible remote work as you see fit
• Significant impact and growth opportunity - help build a company from 5 to 30+ people and grow your role alongside it
• Autonomy and trust - we align on goals, then give you the space to deliver
• Learning and development - work directly with experienced founders and a high-caliber team
