Workplace and People Operations Manager

About the Role This is a hands-on, full-ownership role responsible for keeping a fast-growing Berlin office running smoothly while shaping the culture that defines the team. You will own everything from day-to-day office logistics to the people processes that make every new hire feel set up for success from day one. At a company scaling quickly, this role is critical to making sure operations never become a bottleneck. What You'll Do

• Manage all Berlin office operations, including supplies, equipment, workspace organisation, and productivity systems.
• Own the full employee lifecycle, covering seamless onboarding (hardware, access, desk ready on arrival) through thoughtful offboarding.
• Design and run culture initiatives that keep the team connected and engaged as headcount grows.
• Build automations for workplace and people ops workflows using AI and no-code tools to reduce manual effort.
• Handle ad-hoc requests and jump in wherever the team needs support, no two weeks look the same. What We're Looking For
• 2 or more years of experience in workplace, office, or people operations, ideally at a startup.
• Proven track record building and implementing operations processes including onboarding, offboarding, and office management.
• Hands-on experience managing office supplies, equipment procurement, and inventory.
• Experience designing and executing culture initiatives and internal team events.
• Comfortable building automations using AI and no-code tools to streamline operations workflows.
• Organised, reliable, and detail-oriented with a process-builder mindset that scales solutions instead of solving the same problem twice.
• Owner mentality: you take initiative and move without waiting for detailed instructions.
• Fluent in both English and German. Location On-site in Berlin, Germany. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
