Head of HR Administration

**About Grover**:
Grover makes access to tech easy, affordable, and sustainable—with flexible tech rental subscriptions. No deposits, no commitment, just tech when you want it for as long as you need it.

With around $1.3 billion in financing, Grover is one of Germany's best-funded scale-ups, and we're growing fast. Since 2015, we've gone from a small startup operating out of a Berlin apartment to a team of 500+ people, bringing flexible tech subscriptions to renters across Germany, Austria, the USA, Spain, and The Netherlands.

And we're just getting started. This year, we're expanding into even more countries and launching even more innovative ways for people to access the tech they need.

**Our Mission & Vision**:
We're making it possible for more people to get the best out of life-with flexible, affordable access to the tech they need. That was our bold vision when we started back in 2015, and—with over 1 million renters across 5 countries—we're right on track.

We're also proud to champion a more sustainable way to use tech. With over 500,000 devices returned, refurbished, and recirculated so far, we've already saved 1,500 tons of e-waste from ending up in a landfill.

Want to join us on our mission to give more people flexible access to the tech they need? We'd love to have you on the team.
