Your mission
In this critical position you will own the development, health, and execution of our critical pillars: how the company runs, and the people who run it. This is a hands-on leadership role that will lead to a seat at the leadership table and real influence on the direction of the company.You will own our internal operations, the processes, and executive reporting that keep NeuroNation running well as we grow, you will also act as the primary operational interface to our holding group. Simultaneously, you will set the talent strategy and run the searches that matter most; you'll own retention and the day-to-day of people operations; and you'll be senior enough to represent People and Operations topics in our reporting to the holding group. It's a build role: you'll shape these functions from the ground up.
What you'll own
Talent strategy & function-building: Define how NeuroNation attracts, assesses and hires. Improve or build the processes, playbook and team - starting with hiring an office and talent coordinator / junior recruiter.

Employer brand & candidate experience: Own how candidates and employees experience NeuroNation, and how we show up in the Berlin and digital-health talent markets.
Internal processes & operational excellence: Map how work actually flows across the company, find where it breaks, and rebuild it. Own the operating cadence planning cycles, goal setting, management meetings, decision-making structures and make sure they produce results rather than overhead.
Shareholder & group reporting: Own recurring reporting to our holding group business KPIs, headcount, hiring metrics, budget performance, and operational updates. Be the reliable single point of contact for group requests, and translate between what the group needs and what the business can deliver.
Manage the Customer Care team: Drive performance, mentor team members, and ensure our customers receive top-tier support.
