Full job description
Bei Xentral haben wir eine klare Mission: Wir helfen Unternehmen, ihre Prozesse mit einer einzigen Software zu vereinfachen. Das schaffen wir nur mit Teams, die gut zusammenarbeiten und stetig wachsen. Genau hier kommst du ins Spiel. Als HR Business Partner verbindest du Menschen und Business und bist die erste Ansprechperson für unsere Leads bei allen People-Themen, von Performance und Entwicklung über Arbeitsrecht bis hin zu Leadership. Da wir ein Scale-up mit einem kleinen HR-Team sind, denkst du strategisch, packst bei operativen Aufgaben mit an und teilst dein Wissen mit dem Team.
Wir gehen People-Arbeit fortschrittlich an, setzen konsequent auf Automatisierung und arbeiten agil. Deshalb teilen sich deine Aufgaben so auf: Die Hälfte (50 %) entfällt auf strategische HR-Business-Partner-Arbeit mit den Bereichsleitungen, die andere Hälfte auf Projektarbeit und weitere Bereiche, in denen du gebraucht wirst.
Wenn du People & Organization aktiv mit uns gestalten willst, freuen wir uns auf deine Bewerbung.
What we offer Flexible Work Environment: Enjoy remote work options across Europe or from our office-hubs in Augsburg, Amsterdam, Berlin, Munich, and Lohne (Oldenburg), along with flexible working hours. Competitive Compensation & Comprehensive Benefits: Attractive salary packages and a generous leave policy that includes 28 annual leave days, special leave days, and nursing care days. Our comprehensive benefits package also provides a monthly voucher to choose from a variety of providers, including Urban Sports Club, grocery stores, entertainment, and lifestyle options.

You have what it takes? Then apply now with your CV or LinkedIn profile. We look forward to your application! About us We are an established tech startup with major tech investors Sequoia Capital and Visionaries Club on our side. We are aiming at defining a new SaaS category and empower entrepreneurs and e-commerce vendors to automate their resource planning and focus on the things that matters most to them: their business. We grow all over Europe, join us fully remote or in one of our hubs in Augsburg, Amsterdam, Berlin, Munich and Lohne (Oldenburg). You decide! At Xentral, it doesn’t matter where you come from, what you believe in, or how you identify - what matters is the person you are and the skills you bring. We’re a remote-first company operating across Europe, so you can work from wherever you feel most comfortable. That also means we can’t offer relocation or visa sponsorship - but the good news is, relocation within Europe isn’t necessary to join our team. What unites us at Xentral is not one location, but one mission: making business software simple, powerful, and accessible for everyone. We strive to create a workplace where everyone feels respected, supported, and empowered to do their best work. Convince us with your personality and your skills – and together we’ll make great things happen. We’re looking forward to meeting you! Your recruitment experience @ Xentral We aim for our recruitment experience to be exciting, smooth, and rewarding—for both you and us! That’s why we’ve designed a efficient and enjoyable recruitment process to ensure a great experience from start to finish. Want to know what your journey with us will look like? Check it out here! Still have questions before taking the next step? No worries—we’re here to help! I’m Milou, your responsible Talent Acquisition Manager, and I'm happy to answer any questions so you can make the best decision for you.
