Join a dynamic, early-stage mobility start-up backed by a top-tier venture capital firm based in Berlin. As the second key member of the People & Talent team, you will collaborate closely with the Head of People to support a company with over 75 employees across multiple locations and stores in Germany, expanding towards nearly 95 by year-end. This position is designed as a growth-oriented role, focusing on project ownership, data-driven decisions, and bridging operations with strategic execution.

• Exercise independent judgment by proactively identifying gaps or issues and resolving them to improve efficiency and effectiveness.
