Job description

ReOrbit builds software-defined satellites in LEO and GEO: intelligent, connected platforms where networking and flexibility are designed in from the start, not bolted on. Our customers are nations and operators who want full ownership and control of their space infrastructure.

We have two product lines. Silta is our small GEO communications satellite for operators who want geostationary capability and sovereign control without committing to a multi-tonne, 15-year satellite. OrbitCloud® is a regional LEO constellation that delivers private 5G connectivity and in-orbit AI processing for defence.

We raised a €45 million Series A in 2025. In March 2026 we signed a €150 million contract with SLI, Libra Group’s aerospace arm, for two small GEO satellites. Business Finland is backing our OrbitCloud R&D programme with €4.6 million. We’re 150+ people across hubs in Helsinki and Bengaluru, and our first launch is planned for 2027.

HR Operations Specialist

We are looking for an HR Operations specialist who keeps HR operations in Finland running accurately and on time, so nobody has to think about them. Every hire, payslip, leave, and statutory obligation runs through you. You’ll own the employee lifecycle in Finland, keep payroll and compliance in good order, and give employees and managers a clear source of truth. You’ll work closely with our HRBPs, our external payroll provider and hiring managers across the company. It's an exciting chance to join a dynamic start-up, with the opportunity to make a real impact and reach our goal of pushing the boundaries of space data transfer.

What you’ll do

• Own the employee lifecycle in Finland, from offer and contract through onboarding, internal moves, probation confirmations, parental and other statutory leaves, and offboarding. Every step is accurate, on time and compliant with Finnish employment law.

• Run monthly payroll with our external provider. You’ll prepare and reconcile inputs, apply approval controls, report to the Incomes Register on time and answer employees’ payroll questions.

• Administer benefits, pension, insurance and occupational health, and manage those provider relationships. Keep enrolments, renewals and documentation current.

• Own the statutory compliance calendar: Finnish labour law, collective agreements, the Co-operation Act, and equality and work safety requirements. Keep us audit-ready at all times.

• Provide first- and second-line support through the HR Service Desk. Resolve routine questions quickly and elevate employee relations and compensation matters to the HRBP or CPO.

• Write, update and communicate our Finland HR policies and instructions.

• Support engagement and culture activities in Finland.

The threshold

This role has a clear bar. If all four of these describe you, you’re a match for the role, and we’d very much like to hear from you:

• You’ve run HR operations in Finland for 5+ years. As an HR operations specialist or HR generalist, you’ve coordinated payroll hands-on and handled statutory compliance yourself.

• You know Finnish employment law in practice. Annual holidays, family leaves, working time and collective agreements are things you apply every week, not things you look up.

• You’ve worked with the Incomes Register and an external payroll provider. You know what clean payroll inputs look like and how to reconcile them.

• You’ve worked in an HRIS and a service desk tool. You know how to keep data clean and tickets moving.

What makes you stand out (none of these is required)

• Experience in a scale-up, tech or deep tech company

• Strong documentation habits: you write things down so others can follow them

• Good judgement and discretion, and you know when to escape
  

Why ReOrbit

• A launch on the calendar. Our first satellites are heading to orbit in 2027, and the team getting them there runs on the processes you’ll own.

• Real influence. We’re 150+ people and growing, and much of how People Operations works here is still being built. You’ll help build it.

• Start-up speed with serious engineering. Our team brings experience from both classic and new space, and builds in one of Europe’s largest clean rooms.

• Values we hire for: Velocity, Integrity, Open Communication, Innovation and Ownership.

At ReOrbit, we are focused on building a strong team as we believe nothing can be accomplished without innovative, humble and curious minds working together on a common goal. We’re all about fostering an inclusive, dynamic environment where equality and diversity are our strength.

We offer

• Challenging but rewarding environment – you will thrive if you are always reflecting on how to make things better. Your ideas will be heard.

• Ambitious and supportive network of people, who are motivated to change the space industry, bringing expertise from both classic and new space .

• Benefits such as lunch vouchers, events, parties, occupational health care and additional health insurance - but most importantly a possibility to be a part of a unique and diverse team, connected by similar mindset and sense of humor.

• We like to spend time together! You can choose activities whichever is to your liking – runOrbit, climbOrbit; become ping pong or board games champion.

• We support relocation and integration into Finnish society, find some experiences about relocation here
