Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Helsing as an employer.

What you need

  • Built or significantly improved People Operations within a fast-growing or complex organisation
  • Redesigned processes rather than simply inherited and maintained them
  • Demonstrated strong judgement about when to standardise and when local variation is genuinely necessary
  • Operated across multiple countries, with exposure to Germany, the UK and France particularly valuable
  • Developed and grown operational teams, building their ability to work independently
  • Collaborated effectively with senior stakeholders while staying close enough to operations to understand what is actually happening

Nice to have

  • Experience with HRIS, workflow automation and service delivery tooling
  • Experience defining service levels, controls and operational metrics
  • Experience working with external payroll or other service providers
  • Exposure to People Operations at scale within a comparable environment

What you get

  • Competitive salary and VSOP options
  • Relocation support: up to €2,500 and 4 weeks temporary accommodation
  • Learning: €500/£450 yearly allowance
  • Health & wellness: gym membership and mental health support (Nilo.health)
  • Social: regularly company events and monthly social allowances
  • Enhanced parental leave: 22 weeks fully paid for primary caregivers & 6 weeks for secondary caregivers

Worth weighing

  • No specific salary listed
  • The role requires a proactive approach rather than maintaining established HR processes
  • The company operates in a highly technical and ethical domain, which may involve unique challenges
  • The emphasis on diversity and inclusion suggests a commitment to varied perspectives, but the industry may still have representation gaps
