• Run quarterly development conversations, either independently or alongside management
• Ensure every colleague has clear, current goals documented in Sage HR and up-to-date skills records in MuchSkills
• Own the new-starter experience so that each remote team member has a strong onboarding process
• Identify people issues early and bring management practical, well-reasoned recommendations
• Document agreed actions, development commitments and important conversations properly
• Own approved recruitment searches from vacancy brief to signed contract when hiring is required
• Write and publish job adverts, manage applications, screen candidates and conduct structured initial conversations
• Run the complete hiring process including culture assessments, case studies and coordination of management interviews

• Provide every candidate with a meaningful update within two working days after each stage
• Make early-stage progression and rejection decisions within agreed criteria

• At least three years of experience in HR, recruitment or people operations, ideally in a small company, scale-up or agency environment
• Demonstrated experience holding development conversations and building trusted relationships with colleagues
• Proven track record running recruitment processes including screening, structured interviews, candidate communication and pipeline management
• Strong organizational skills and documentation discipline
• Sound judgment when handling confidential employee and candidate information
• Cross-cultural awareness and fluent business English, both written and spoken
• Practical daily use of AI tools such as ChatGPT or Claude, with careful review of outputs
• A reliable remote work setup with at least three to four hours of overlap with Central European working hours
• Current residence between CET-2 and CET+2 timezones with the right to work in your country of residence

Advantageous but not required:

Success metrics:

After 3 months, you will know every team member's role, goals and current development commitments. The quarterly review cycle will have a clear schedule, ownership and structure. New joiners will have a consistent and positive first-two-week experience.

After 6 months, goals and skills records will be current across the organization. Team members will know where to raise concerns and development needs. When recruitment is active, candidates will receive clear communication within days and processes will move forward without senior management follow-up.
