Founding Talent Acquisition & People Ops Manager (m/f/d) – Berlin
Full-Time | Onsite (Berlin)
About Forgent AIForgent AI builds domain-specific AI agents to fix one of Europe's most complex and high-impact systems: public procurement. This €2 trillion market is plagued by inefficiency, limited access, and lack of transparency — and we're here to change that.
We are backed by Cherry Ventures and leading angels from OpenAI, DeepMind, and Meta. Our founding team has previously raised more than €500M and built AI systems at global scale.
We have achieved strong early traction with enterprise customers and have a full sales pipeline. Now we're looking for exceptional talent to build the People function that will scale our team, attract world-class builders, and establish the culture and systems that turn this momentum into lasting impact.
The Role
As Forgent's first People hire, you will own full-cycle recruiting across engineering, GTM, and operations while building the systems that help our team perform at their best.
You will work directly with the founders to scale the team from 10 to 50+ people — hiring exceptional talent, designing onboarding, and creating light-touch processes that enable everyone to do their best work without bureaucracy.
What You'll Do
Own full-cycle recruiting for engineering, GTM, and operational roles: source talent, design interview processes, and attract candidates who thrive in high-ownership environments
Build foundational People systems: design onboarding that gets people shipping in week one, create compensation frameworks, and implement light-touch performance systems
Run the full spectrum of team operations: coordinate founder calendars, book travel, organize team offsites and remote work weeks
Handle operational backbone tasks: manage contracts, payroll, and compliance across multiple countries; own the full candidate experience from first outreach through day one
Act as a thought partner to the founders: advise on hiring strategy, help close critical hires, and support building teams that ship production AI at scale
You'll Thrive Here If You…
Bring 2+ years of experience in talent acquisition or people operations at a high-growth startup where you built systems from scratch
Have a strong track record hiring technical and commercial talent in competitive markets
Think holistically about talent and business outcomes
Default to action over perfection — you ship fast and iterate
Are based in Berlin (or eager to relocate)
Speak fluent English
What's In It For You
Fast-track to People leadership — build and lead the function as we scale
Direct work with founders who have raised more than €500M and built AI at global scale
Access to mentors from OpenAI, DeepMind, and Meta via our investor network
Competitive compensation
An AI-first approach to solving a mission that matters
