Job description

The role is about running a Berlin office day to day and handling the full employee lifecycle, from onboarding to offboarding, plus internal events and culture work. A strong candidate is hands on, organized, and comfortable building repeatable processes rather than fixing the same issue twice. German and English communication and a few years of workplace or people operations experience, ideally at a startup, are expected.

How it fits the AI era

AI shifts much of the routine coordination work, such as ordering, inventory, and request handling, toward automation, so the role leans on building those systems rather than doing them by hand. What stays human is the office presence, the hosting, and the judgment about how people feel connected as the team grows. The job explicitly asks for automations built with AI and no code tools.

How it builds AI experience

Working at a company that builds AI voice agents means everyday exposure to how AI tools are used to run operations, and the role calls for applying them to workplace and people processes. Experience gained would center on designing no code and AI driven workflows for ordering, inventory, and requests. Building that skill starts with mapping repetitive tasks and testing simple automations against them.

Worth showing

• Office operations ownership
• Employee lifecycle handling
• Process automation with no code
• German and English fluency
• Event and culture organizing
