While our partners push the boundaries of what’s possible in Web3, we make sure they’re built to last and set up to make a real impact. Together, we’re bringing blockchain into everyday life in ways that create real-world change. Ready to leave your mark?

Your mission

As our People & Culture Manager with a strong focus on People Operations, you’ll be the backbone of our team experience at Onchain Group. You’ll own the daily People infrastructure, making sure processes, systems, and compliance don’t just work but work smoothly, efficiently, and with people at the center.

• People Systems: run and improve Personio & Deel, ensure clean data, sharp reporting, and useful insights.
• Finance & Legal Partnership: partner on tax, social contributions, audits, and contracts while keeping processes transparent.
• Leadership Support: support on compensation, employee relations, and People strategy
• Culture & Wellbeing: drive initiatives on inclusion, engagement, pulse surveys, HR events, and internal communications.

• Experience: 3+ years in HR Operations, People Ops, or HR Generalist roles, ideally in startups, tech, or Web3.
• Strong Process Orientation: you enjoy refining workflows, creating clarity, and making things more efficient.
• Data-Driven Mindset: you use HR metrics and analytics to inform decisions, track effectiveness, and continuously improve employee experience.
• Fluent English: for collaboration across our international team.
• Fluent German: for handling authorities, contracts, and payroll.
• People Programs: experience designing or rolling out company-wide processes and projects.
• Proactive, Approachable, and Curious: you’re not just about compliance, but about building a great employee experience.

Bonus superpowers

• Business Partnering: strategic support to managers on HR initiatives.
• Labour Law (EMEA): understanding of contracts and compliance.
• EORs & Freelancers: managing external workforce.
• Web3: genuine interest and engagement in the space.

How we work

We’re a fully remote team spread across the world. Working across time zones means we focus on clear communication, transparent information, and moving fast without unnecessary friction. Our working hours center around European time zones.

We trust people to take ownership, make decisions, and deliver outcomes, while staying aligned through a mix of real-time teamwork and async communication.

Perks & benefits

• Ownership: Meaningful token allocation so you share directly in the upside you’re helping create.
• Vacation: 25 or 28 vacation days per year (depending on location).
• Learning: Annual education budget to invest in your growth.
• Flexibility: Flexible work schedule so you can balance life and work on your terms.
• Retreats: Annual team retreats in amazing locations — not corporate offsites, but trips you’ll actually look forward to.
