We are searching for a passionate People Operations Specialist to create effective and people-centric processes along the full employee lifecycle - does that sound like you?

The role

At Zenjob we think it’s crucial to create an outstanding experience for our Zennies. Why? Because we think this is what helps us to win over great people who we would love to work with, to enable them to do their best work and to bring so much fun to their work that they wouldn’t want to leave us. We create these experiences for over 250 Zennies across our 5 offices in Germany.

Decidedly, we’re not an HR team. We’re not managing resources. We’re here to support our fellow Zennies and do our best to look after them, so that they have everything they need to build great things with the rest of us. Our People Operations Specialist are the key contact persons for our employees. They support them throughout their whole employee lifecycle and also advise our people managers in all people-related and labor law matters.

• Strategy & Projects: Partnering with the Director of People & Culture to set a people-centric People Operations Strategy & OKRs and bringing it to life by designing new frameworks and managing related initiatives with the team
