This is a great opportunity for a junior/mid level HR professional interested in operational excellence, cross-company exposure, and helping early-stage teams build foundational people processes.

The majority of your time will be focused on Cherry's internal People Operations. Additionally, you will embed with portfolio companies for short periods (to help them establish basic HR operations and improve their internal processes).

2. Portfolio Company Support 
Provide hands-on support to early-stage portfolio companies on core people operations topics

  • Help founders set up or refine basic HR processes

  • Offer operational guidance and structure during short-term, low-intensity engagements

Qualifications
  • 2+ years in People Operations, HR Administration, or a similar role

  • Demonstrated ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment

  • Prior experience in a startup or scale-up environment (highly preferred)

  • Knowledge of German employment regulations and HR administrative processes

  • Hands-on HRIS experience (HiBob preferred)

  • Excellent organization and prioritization skills

  • Strong communication and relationship-building abilities

  • Service-oriented mindset with a proactive, can-do attitude

  • Comfortable working independently with multiple stakeholders

  • Native/C2-level German and fluent English

What You'll Gain
  • Experience across multiple early-stage startup environments

  • Opportunities to help shape foundational HR operations

  • A dynamic role in one of Europe's leading early-stage VC firms
