Head of People & Culture (m/f/d)

We usually respond within three days

At bookingkit, Europe's leading booking and reservation software for tours and activities, big changes are on the horizon. Our goal by 2030 is to create an AI-powered Success Platform enabling Attractions like museums, sights, and theme parks to grow ticket sales and simplify ticket operations.

And that's where you come in: We are looking for you as a Head of People & Culture (m/f/d) and our people function is ready for its next level. Our brand is strong, our culture is something we're proud of, and our next Head of People & Culture is someone who can turn that foundation into a modern, high-performing people function.

This is a builder role. You'll inherit a capable team, a strong culture, and a COO who provides the framework. The design and execution of a modern people function - how we hire, grow, reward, and retain great people across a fully distributed company - is yours to (re)design and implement.

This is a full-time position (40 hours/week) offering hybrid or fully remote work. We're also open to a reduced schedule of 4 days per week. Berlin-based candidates can join us at the office 1-2 days per week, while remote candidates can work from anywhere in Europe with sufficient time-zone overlap.

Hybrid or remote, the work setup choice is yours!

Your Day-to-Day

• Own the People & Culture strategy and the full employee experience (recruitment and onboarding, administration, mentoring and development to offboarding)

• Build and run a culture of performance across a fully remote team: clear expectations, regular honest feedback, growth people can track

• Modernise and automate the function: use AI and process design to make onboarding, administration, and people's everyday questions fast, self-serve, and excellent

• Run the function on data: engagement, retention, performance, hiring

• Lead, coach, and grow a team of two to three across people ops, recruitment, and L&D

• Be a trusted coach and sparring partner to leaders on performance, talent, and team design

• Steward and strengthen our remote-first internal communication culture

• Own people budgeting, controlling, and reporting with Finance

We are a Good Match if You Have:

• You combine strategic ownership of the function with hands-on execution

• You have built or improved a people function, not just operated one with the help of modern tools

• You have driven performance and culture in a remote or distributed team specifically

• You are pragmatic, hands-on, and run several priorities at once with high autonomy

• You have experience in contributing to performance and compensation frameworks that focus on growing talent internally, either by building them yourself or supporting their development

• You are fluent in English

Super Awesome if You Have:

• Scale-up experience (50–250 people)

• Built people analytics from the ground up

• Familiarity with German labour law and payroll, and multi-country European remote setup

• Experience in building and automating workflows and processes using latest technologies, including AI

Perks and Benefits

• Remote Work: Enjoy a 100% remote work setup, with the option to join colleagues in our Berlin office. Our Mobile Work Abroad policy also allows you to work from almost anywhere in the world for up to 5 months in the year.

• 28 Vacation Days + Tenure: Start with 28 vacation days per year, and earn an extra vacation day each year on your anniversary date (up to a maximum of 31 days).
