To temporarily strengthen our HR team during periods of parental leave we are looking for an HR Officer (f/m/d), based in Berlin, full‑ or part‑time (minimum 32 hours per week). You will join a committed and collegial team of nine HR professionals and support employees across the organization in close cooperation with HR managers.

• Diverse experience and professional relationships with colleagues and visitors from a variety of countries.
• Opportunities for professional growth and advancement.
• 29 vacation days (5‑day week) plus 24 th and 31 st December off‑work.
• Flexible working hours, mental wellbeing support and remote work opportunities.
• One option from our benefits basket (e.g. job ticket, Urban Sports, shopping vouchers, etc.).
• Assistance with the visa/work permit process for international candidates.
• A cooperative working atmosphere with flat communication and decision‑making hierarchies.
• An attractive workplace in central Berlin (near Hackescher Markt) and flexible hybrid working with good digital equipment.
• A structured onboarding programme and regular team/organisation‑wide retreats to bring us all together.
• A flexible full‑ or part‑time role with an initially one‑year employment contract.

We are looking for

• A degree in Human Resources, Business Administration or a comparable field.
• Solid knowledge of HR administrative processes and best practices (at least 3 years of relevant experience).
• Very confident handling of MS Office applications.
• Very good written and spoken English and German (additional languages are an asset).
• An independent, structured working style and a high level of service orientation accompanied by a friendly and open demeanour.

We welcome applications regardless of gender and gender identity, nationality, ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability and age, and sexual orientation.
