People & Culture Lead Part-Time (f/m/d)

At RIIICO , we're building the future of digital manufacturing — and we know that culture is just as important as our code . That’s why we’re looking for a part-time HR professional to help us lay the foundation for an exceptional team experience as we grow.

This is a rare opportunity to shape people and culture from the ground up in a flexible setup — perfect for someone who values impact, autonomy, and balance. Whether you’re returning to work, shifting focus, or simply seeking meaningful part-time work, this role offers the space to contribute where it counts.

• Be a go-to partner for our team on people topics — from growth and alignment to daily collaboration.
• Design and implement lightweight, scalable HR processes that support a fast-moving environment.
• Build the foundation for future hiring: structure, tools, and processes that make recruiting smooth and intentional.
• Lead future hiring efforts end-to-end — ensuring great candidate experiences and strong team fit.
• Help cultivate a thoughtful, open, and empowering team culture.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in HR, people operations, or talent acquisition — ideally in startups or dynamic tech teams.
• You genuinely care about people and are excited to support their growth, well-being, and success.
• Experience setting up HR or hiring processes from scratch — with a good sense of what’s "just enough" for each stage.
• A structured, proactive approach and the ability to move things forward independently.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills — you’re approachable and clear.
• Professional working proficiency in German and English.
• Working between 15 and 30 hours / week on average.
