RobCo is building the category of Autonomous Industrial Robotics and we're doing it fast. We believe that automating the ordinary frees humans to do the extraordinary, and we're building the end-to-end robotics infrastructure to make that possible - hardware, software, and AI in one stack that just works.
At RobCo, we automate the ordinary, so humans can do the extraordinary. To achieve this, we are looking for an ambitious Senior People & Culture Manager (m/f/d) to help us establish RobCo as leading provider of automation solutions.
In this key role, you act as a trusted HR Business Partner (HRBP) to our leadership team. You are the architect of our internal people strategy, focusing on building a high-performance culture that scales. You don't just manage HR processes; you leverage modern technology and AI to eliminate manual effort and ensure our People function is as innovative as the robots we build.
Your Responsibilities
- Strategic HR Business Partnering: Serve as a dedicated consultant to department heads on organizational design, leadership development, and strategic workforce planning.
- AI-Driven People Operations: Proactively identify and implement AI-supported tools and automation to streamline repetitive HR tasks, from automated onboarding workflows to AI-assisted sentiment analysis.
- Scalable Culture & Engagement: Drive initiatives that strengthen RobCo's culture across global sites, ensuring our "extraordinary" human mission remains central during rapid growth.
- Performance & Growth: Design and own scalable frameworks for performance management, career leveling, and continuous 360° feedback.
- End-to-End People Excellence: Lead the employee lifecycle, ensuring a world-class experience from the first touchpoint to alumni status.
- Data & Insights: Use HR analytics and automated reporting to provide the management team with actionable insights on engagement, retention, and team health.
- Global Compliance: Navigate the HR complexities of a multi-site organization (Germany/US), ensuring pragmatic and scalable policies.
We're looking for someone who has:
- Has at least 5+ years of professional experience in HR Management or as an HR Business Partner, ideally within a high-growth tech environment or scale-up.
- Has completed a degree in Psychology, Business Administration, Human Resources, or a comparable field.
- Is driven by the principle of "not doing things twice" and have a passion for leveraging AI and modern HRIS tools to scale the People function.
- Takes full ownership for their business areas, identifying gaps independently and proposing scalable, tech-forward solutions.
- Brings excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to coach senior leaders and navigate complex organizational topics with empathy.
- Is fluent in English; German language skills are a strong plus given our Munich headquarters.

- As part of a very dynamic and fast-growing scale-up, you will take on responsibility from day one, drive your own projects, and see the direct impact of your work.
- Flat hierarchies, open communication, and regular 360° feedback enable fast decisions and support your professional and personal development.
- Work out across Germany in over 7,200 studios with our subsidized Wellpass membership.
