We are building an AI-native property management platform for short-term rentals. Our product helps hosts and property managers automate guest communication, pricing, and operations – replacing fragmented tools with one intelligent system. We are an early-stage, VC-backed team based in Berlin, building at the intersection of real estate and artificial intelligence.
About the Role
We are looking for a Senior People & Culture Partner to join us as our first dedicated people hire. You will own the full employee lifecycle – from hiring and onboarding to development, retention, and offboarding. This is a hands‑on, generalist role where you will shape the culture, build people processes from scratch, and support a growing team through a critical scaling phase.
What you'll do
- Own and run end‑to‑end recruitment across technical and non‑technical roles
- Build and implement core people processes: onboarding, feedback cycles, performance reviews, and offboarding
- Act as a trusted partner to the founders and managers on all people‑related topics
- Manage HR operations including contracts, payroll coordination, and compliance with German labour law
- Set up and maintain HR systems and tools (e.g. Personio or similar)
- Drive culture initiatives that reflect the company's values and support team cohesion
- Support the team through organisational changes as the company scales
About You
- 5+ years of experience in a People/HR generalist role, ideally in a start‑up or scale‑up environment
- Strong knowledge of German labour law and HR compliance requirements
- Proven experience running recruitment processes end‑to‑end
- Hands‑on, pragmatic, and comfortable building from zero
- Excellent communication skills in both German and English
- You care deeply about people and culture, and you bring warmth and good judgement to everything you do
Nice to have
- Experience with Personio or similar HR tools
- Experience working in venture‑backed or portfolio companies
- Familiarity with visa and relocation processes
- Coaching or mediation training
Why Join
This is a rare opportunity to shape the people function from the ground up in a fast‑moving, mission‑driven company. You will work closely with the founders, have real ownership, and play a key role in building a team and culture that can scale.
