Your Impact

Are you a "people person" with a sharp mind and a passion for organizational culture? We are looking for a highly motivated Working Student to join our People team in Munich!

We are looking for a dedicated student to act as the "right hand" to our two senior People Business Partners (one based in Munich and one in Boston). You will play a crucial role in ensuring our People operations run smoothly, supporting high-impact projects, and helping us maintain a culture that is both high-performing and incredibly fun.

You will:

• Direct Support: Work closely with two Senior PBPs to assist with daily administrative tasks, ensuring our stakeholders receive world-class support.

• Global Coordination: Bridge the gap between Munich and Boston! You’ll help coordinate meetings and communications across time zones.

• Project Management: Support key People initiatives (such as the Annual Performance review, Engagement plans…)

• Tool Mastery: Help maintain our People data in systems like Personio and Leapsome, ensuring accuracy and efficiency.

• Communication: Draft "people-minded" internal communications and help prepare presentations for senior stakeholders.

What you need to succeed:

• Current Student: You are currently enrolled in a University program (Business, Psychology, HR, or similar) and are based in the Munich area.

• Sharp & Proactive: You learn quickly, you aren't afraid to ask questions, and you always look for ways to improve a process.

• Language Skills: Your English is excellent (written and spoken). German is a plus but not required as we are a global team.

• People-Minded: You lead with empathy and genuinely care about the employee experience.

• Reliable: You can handle confidential information with discretion and take ownership of your tasks from start to finish.

Nice to have:

• Some experience working in a fast-paced environment, e.g., a startup, student project, or part-time job.

• Basic familiarity with workplace programs, employee engagement, or hospitality services.

• Interest in supporting daily office operations and working in a hybrid work environment.

• Enthusiasm for helping build community, organizing events, and supporting employee well-being initiatives.

• Strong communication and teamwork skills
