Hr jobs in Germany

At SPREAD, we’re transforming the way teams collaborate and innovate in the digital age. Our mission is to empower people to work smarter, faster, and more creatively, and we believe that a thriving, engaged team is the heart of our success. As we continue to grow, we are looking for a passionate and strategic HR Manager to shape exceptional employee experiences while ensuring operational excellence. Unlike traditional HR setups rooted in static “best practices,” we are building a people function that is agile, data-driven, and tailored to the realities of a fast-scaling, knowledge-driven organization. In this position, you will report directly to our Founder and take ownership of both the operational backbone of HR and the cultural development of SPREAD. You will manage a small team while remaining hands-on and proactive yourself.

This role combines two essential dimensions:

• Ensure that all core HR operations are reliable, compliant, and scalable. This includes payroll, compensation processes, documentation, and compliance with German labor law.
• Lead HR systems and data management, leveraging process automation and digitalization to enable scalability. By embedding people analytics and actionable dashboards, you will deliver real insights that influence business outcomes and inform leadership decision-making.
• Oversee event, office, and vendor management, ensuring that our Berlin HQ remains a functional and welcoming environment.

• Act as a trusted advisor to managers and leadership, bringing not only HR expertise but also organizational transformation perspectives that help teams improve effectiveness.
• Drive performance management end-to-end, from structured goal-setting to feedback loops and development planning, ensuring the process fuels individual growth and business impact rather than bureaucracy.
• Design and implement engagement surveys, analyze the results, and translate insights into meaningful actions.
• Contribute to career frameworks and organizational development initiatives, building structures that enable growth, agility, and accountability.
• Design and deliver leadership development and learning programs, making sure our people have the skills and capabilities to meet future challenges.
• Foster culture and employee experience by shaping internal initiatives, events, and rituals that strengthen SPREAD’s values and identity.

• 3+ years of experience gained in a top consultancy or advisory practice where you focused on HR transformation, organizational development, or people-driven change.
• A proven ability to move from strategy to execution, ensuring that initiatives are embedded and deliver tangible impact, not just well-designed slides.
• Strong experience working directly with senior stakeholders e.g. Founders, C-level executives, or business leaders, with the confidence to act as a trusted advisor.
• Breadth of HR knowledge across operations, compliance, performance management, talent development, and culture, with the ability to identify gaps and proactively put scalable solutions in place.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in both German and English, enabling you to engage effectively across all levels of the organization.
• A hands-on, solutions-oriented approach, with the stamina to balance strategic priorities with day-to-day operational needs.
• Above all, you are passionate about shaping employee experience and organizational culture. You see HR not as enforcing “best practices” but as building adaptive, high-impact people strategies that evolve with the business and make work better for everyone
