Your Mission
As a Talent & People Partner, you’ll join our Talent Acquisition & People team during a key growth phase. Your focus will initially be on end-to-end hiring across both Business and Tech roles, helping us scale teams thoughtfully while keeping the bar high on quality of hire and candidate experience.
Working alongside Karo and Melissa, our two other Talent Partners, you’ll take direct ownership of roles and hiring processes, from aligning with hiring managers on the right profiles, to building strong pipelines, to running structured interview processes and guiding teams toward clear, timely decisions.
At the same time, this role goes beyond recruiting. We’re looking for someone who is excited to contribute across a broader People scope as well — from HR data and reporting to tooling and process optimisation, as well as people experience topics such as onboarding and onsite planning. As hiring needs evolve over time, this role will gradually take on more ownership across People Operations and analytics-related initiatives.
We’re looking for someone who will be hands-on in the day-to-day while also improving how we hire and how we operate as we scale, making sure our processes are efficient, consistent, data-informed, and focused on creating a strong experience for both candidates and employees.
In this role you will:
Lead 360° hiring across Business and Tech: Own end-to-end recruiting across multiple seniority levels, from role kick-off and profile definition with hiring managers, through screening and interviews, to offer management and negotiation.
Build and run effective sourcing strategies: Develop and execute sourcing approaches across channels like LinkedIn, GitHub, and Google to attract and engage talent across Operations, Commercial, Compliance, Product, and Tech.
Manage candidate relationships and process end-to-end: Build and maintain strong candidate pipelines, engage people with thoughtful outreach, and ensure a clear, respectful, and well-run experience throughout every stage.
Partner closely with hiring managers and interview teams: Translate team needs into strong hiring plans, keep stakeholders aligned, and help drive structured, timely decision-making.
Support People Operations and analytics topics: Take ownership of recurring HR reporting and KPI tracking, support initiatives such as performance review reporting, and help prepare monthly or quarterly people data insights.
Improve processes and tooling: Help optimise and automate workflows across tools such as Ashby and Personio, improving efficiency, consistency, and the quality of our people processes.
Contribute to people experience initiatives: Support and gradually take on ownership of topics such as onboarding, events, and onsite planning, helping create a smooth and thoughtful employee experience.
You will be successful in this role if:
You are a business and tech recruiter, living and breathing FinTech. You have gained relevant experience hiring across different functions. Our mission resonates with you, and you are keen to gain a deeper understanding of the brokerage industry.
You understand what hiring in a fast-paced start-up is like. You have a track record of hiring specialist roles with limited resources. You move quickly without lowering the bar: you bring a sense of urgency, a bias for action, and the judgment to remove bottlenecks, keep stakeholders aligned, and maintain momentum.
You are a great sourcer and love people, data, and processes. You are well versed in multiple sourcing techniques and see the signs that others can’t pick up, helping us find our future talented lemoneers.
You bring experience beyond recruiting. You have worked on People Operations, tooling, analytics, HR data, reporting, process optimisation, or related people topics in the past, and you are excited by the opportunity to grow further in this direction.
You are analytical and data-driven. You care about more than just making a great hire, and can balance long-term goals with short-term wins — ensuring sustainable hiring and people processes, backed by data and sound judgment.
You have a collaborative mindset and cope well with frequent change and ambiguity. Working together as a team and sharing knowledge comes naturally to you, and you are able to think logically, break down complex problems, and prioritise across multiple topics on your desk.
You are fluent in English; other languages are always welcome. Being confident communicating with candidates and stakeholders is key to ensuring we provide a top-tier process and employee experience.
How we take care of you:
🚀 Compensation package: We offer you a competitive salary, based on your experience and the value-add you bring to lemon.markets.
🕑 Flexible working hours: We trust people to choose when they work best and avoid a rigid 9 to 5 mindset. You decide on the rhythm that helps you do your best work, with only shared core hours from 12:00 to 16:00 to support collaboration.
🏢 Hybrid work setup: You can work from anywhere in Germany within a hybrid model. At the same time, in-person collaboration is a key part of our culture. That being said, individual contributer lemoneers work 4 days or more per month on-site in our Berlin office, spending quality time together with the team at events, onsites/offsites or over team dinners.
📈 Grow with us: We take your personal development seriously! You’ll get regular mentorship and stretch opportunities, a clear career development framework with frequent feedback conversations as well as an annual learning budget.
🌱 People & culture: You’ll feel our culture in the small things, like polaroids from our lemoneers’ first day, Friday food market strolls at Maybachufer, and our monthly new-joiner breakfast. But also in the bigger things: celebrating the onboarding of new partners, growing our teams, and owning a strong discussion culture.
💛 Perks & benefits: We choose benefits that add actual value. We sponsor a Deutschlandticket for employees on unlimited contracts, plus 50% off on Beatvest - our partner for financial education and investing.
🏝 Workation: Get out of here! At lemon.markets you can work remotely from anywhere in the EU for up to 10 consecutive days at a time, and up to 60 days per year in total.
As an equal opportunity employer, lemon.markets is committed to building an inclusive workplace. The company welcomes people from all different backgrounds, including age, citizenship, ethnic and racial origins, gender identities, individuals with disabilities, marital status, religions and ideologies, and sexual orientations to apply.
If you feel this role could be a great match for you even if you don’t tick every box, we’d still love to hear from you, please apply.
