Job description

We're an international fintech lender on a mission to make funding faster and simpler for small businesses, already operating in 11 countries. We're now launching in Kraków, and we're looking for people who want to build something new: the chance to help shape how we grow here from day one, with real ownership and room to develop as the team scales.

The role

The People & Culture Manager is our first dedicated People hire in Poland, acting as a true HR Business Partner for the local team. This role combines hands-on HR generalist work - onboarding, employee relations, day-to-day advisory - with the opportunity to build our local People function and processes from the ground up.

Bachelor's or Master's degree; HR, psychology, sociology or a related field is a plus.
