Your role

In this key strategic position, you will act as the architect of our People Operations landscape. We are not looking for someone to maintain the status quo, but for a strategic enabler of scalable, international growth. Your mission is to eliminate manual bottlenecks and build a robust data ecosystem that enables real-time, data-driven decision-making and supports the development of an international scale-up.

You will bring your expertise in operational excellence and automation into the team, actively enabling and upskilling our People Operations Managers, and driving success together as a unit. Your unique strength lies at the intersection of HR excellence and systems thinking – moving us away from manual spreadsheets toward a fully integrated, automated People infrastructure within Personio, designed to scale internationally.

Your responsibilities

• Building and continuously evolving our People Analytics landscape to enable strong, data-driven decision-making foundations
• Leveraging the full potential of Personio by developing a state-of-the-art system landscape, including the implementation and management of API integrations and automation (e.g. RPA) to ensure seamless data flow across tools and systems
• Technical mentoring and guiding of People Operations Managers on both operational excellence (e.g. ensuring high-quality administrative standards) and the implementation of automated, scalable processes
• Designing and elevating our People structures with a focus on process standardization across international markets (including PL, IT, FR, CH, and NL)
• Acting as a strategic sparring partner to HR Business Partners and the CPO on complex labor law topics, organizational structures, and cross-border scenarios
• Leading key strategic HR initiatives and People projects such as the continuous development of Compensation & Benefits frameworks, Job Architecture, and Salary Bands, taking into account cross-market complexity

Your profile

• 5–7 years of experience in People Operations or People Excellence, combining a profound knowledge of the employee lifecycle (e.g. contract management, onboarding, labor law) with a focus on data-driven HR, People Analytics, and process automation
• Strong hands‑on experience with HRIS systems – preferably Personio – including proven experience or the willingness to familiarize yourself with API integrations and system interoperability to automate recurring data workflows
• Proven experience in a strategic role, particularly in building and refining KPI frameworks, reporting structures, and data models for People & Culture initiatives
• Strong analytical skills combined with a systems‑thinking approach, with the unique ability to balance data‑driven insights, employee experience, and operational feasibility
• Proactive self‑starter who independently identifies structural gaps, develops scalable solutions, and possesses the professional maturity to drive company‑wide implementation
• Professional fluency in English and German (minimum C1) is mandatory due to the strategic, legal, and compliance‑related requirements of the role

About Us

Sunday Natural emerged from a long-standing passion and research in the fields of health, healing, and personal growth. The lack of natural, high-quality products on the market was the original motivation for founding Sunday Natural in 2013. We aim to produce the products we ourselves would love to buy – as natural as possible, absolutely pure, free from any additives, and of the highest quality. In a strategic partnership with CVC, Sunday Natural is now one of Germany's most renowned quality manufacturers, with its own research and development department in Berlin. For the continuous improvement of our products, we collaborate with selected research institutes, scientists, therapists, farmers, and professional associations.

We take our ecological responsibility very seriously: that’s why the majority of our product range is vegan. We also take an innovative approach to packaging: most of our products are packaged in glass, making them almost entirely recyclable.

Our diverse team in Berlin consists of over 350 employees from more than 40 nationalities and continues to grow – but at a sustainable pace. Our goal is to foster a collaborative, supportive, and inclusive work environment with a diverse group of motivated, talented, and visionary team members.

We highly value equality of opportunity and inclusivity, and we would like to particularly encourage women and candidates from under‑represented backgrounds to apply, even if you don’t match with 100% of the requirements.
