Working closely with the People & Culture team and our hiring managers, you will identify and engage outstanding talent while helping establish the systems and processes that will support Lio as we scale.

This isn’t a role where you simply support existing people operations. You will help build them from the ground up.

What You’ll Do

• Actively identify and approach exceptional candidates, building a strong pipeline of A-players who can shape Lio’s next stage of growth
• Take ownership of sourcing projects using LinkedIn Recruiter: from defining target profiles and building searches to crafting outreach that gets responses
• Conduct initial interviews, assess candidate motivation and fit, and create an outstanding first impression of Lio
• Help implement HiBob and build the foundation of a scalable, data-driven People Operations function
• Design and improve people processes across recruiting, onboarding, employee data, and internal workflows
• Gain direct insight into people strategy and contribute ideas that help us attract, develop, and retain exceptional talent
• Identify opportunities to simplify, optimize, and automate repetitive People processes
• Own projects end to end and see the direct impact of your work on our team and growth

Your Profile

• Are available for a minimum of four months, starting as soon as possible
• Are currently pursuing or have recently completed a degree in business, psychology, human resources, technology, or a related discipline
• Have previous hands-on experience with active sourcing and know how to identify and engage strong candidates
• Feel confident using LinkedIn and ideally have experience with LinkedIn Recruiter
• Bring a strong academic track record and/or have demonstrated exceptional ownership through student initiatives, entrepreneurial projects, or other extracurricular activities
• Have native-level proficiency in German and are fluent in English
• Are structured, proactive, and comfortable taking ownership without waiting for detailed instructions
• Adapt quickly to a fast-paced environment with ambitious goals and changing priorities
• Have experience with HiBob or another HRIS

Why Join Us?

At Lio, you won’t just support the People function, you’ll help lay its foundation.

You will play a direct role in building the team behind our growth while creating the systems and processes that shape how Lio operates. You’ll work closely with leadership, gain hands‑on exposure to recruiting and People strategy, and own projects with visible impact from day one.

If you want to learn how an exceptional team is built, and help build it, this is your opportunity.
