cargo.one is hiring a Working Student, People

🏆 What's the opportunity? Ever wondered what really goes on behind the scenes at great companies? Want to dive into People Ops that's way more than just paperwork? We're hunting for an ambitious, detail-ninja to join our People team - someone who'll support everything from recruitment and onboarding to employee experience and process magic. This isn't your standard HR admin role - it's a rocket launch into People Operations at one of Europe's most dynamic global startups. At cargo.one, you'll be part of 110 Cargonauts spanning 40 nationalities and 23 countries. We move fast, give rapid-fire feedback, and blend high performance with serious playfulness. Our employee satisfaction? A killer +51. From day one, you'll make meaningful impact, learn from whip-smart teammates, and help shape every new person's journey. If you're proactive, organized, and hungry to grow, this is your backstage pass to where the action happens. 📍 You'll need to be based in Berlin 🇩🇪 and available to work from our hub near Moritzplatz as needed. 🎬 A snapshot of what you will be doing here (and why it's exciting!) This is not your average working student gig. You'll be a critical force in making People Operations not just run smoothly, but run smarter, faster, and more human. You'll get hands-on experience across the full employee lifecycle *and* have the freedom to improve how we do things at every step. You'll work on: • **Running key People processes (and making them better)** From onboarding new teammates to helping offboard leavers, you'll ensure every touchpoint is smooth and thoughtful. You'll also spot friction and improve how we do things, so each experience gets better over time. • **Solving real problems, not just answering tickets** Sure, you'll support employees with questions about systems, policies, contracts - but we'll count on you to go deeper: spot patterns, fix root causes, and continuously upgrade our knowledge base. • **Owning the accuracy of our people data** You'll help maintain and clean our HRIS and other tools to support strong decisions and seamless operations across the org. • **Creating clarity at scale** Whether updating onboarding materials, writing internal guides, or documenting new processes, you'll help us scale knowledge and reduce ambiguity as we grow. • **Supporting recruitment with precision and speed** You'll assist with scheduling, contracts, and logistics while finding ways to make the process faster, clearer, and more delightful for candidates and hiring teams. This role is perfect for someone people-obsessed, eager to learn by doing, and excited to leave every process better than they found it. If you love systems, take ownership naturally, and want to stretch beyond admin, you'll thrive here. 🙋🏽‍♀️ What we are looking for... This role is about growth, grit, and getting things done - not taking orders and checking boxes. We want someone smart, driven, and excited to improve daily. You might be a fit if: • You're based in Berlin (mandatory) • Currently enrolled in a university program in HR, Business, Psychology, Law, or something that sharpens how you think and communicate • Naturally curious and self-driven. You don't wait for instructions and love figuring things out • Calm in chaos. Ambiguity doesn't scare you; it energizes you to bring structure and clarity • A problem solver who doesn't just spot issues but suggests better approaches • Have strong attention to detail and high standards • Communicate with clarity, warmth, and confidence - even without all the answers • Love tools and systems, maybe even enjoy tinkering to simplify work (Bonus if you've used Personio, Leapsome, Notion, Google Sheets) Above all, you're **energised by doing real work that matters** and excited to learn fast as part of a high-performing team. ✨ We are offering • Flexible working hours to fit your studies • Opportunity to own meaningful projects and see your impact • A supportive, curious, collaborative team that values your input • Hands-on experience in a fast-paced, high-growth environment • Chance to grow alongside a company transforming an industry ❤️ We think you will love working here if: • **You thrive on ownership:** Love taking responsibility and driving projects forward • **You're curious and solution-driven:** Ask "Why?" and enjoy finding smarter ways to do things • **You value collaboration:** Enjoy working across teams to build seamless processes • **You embrace a "win or learn" mindset:** See challenges as growth opportunities • **You want to make a difference:** Excited to help our People team mature and create supporting systems 🚀 About cargo.one At cargo.one, we're revolutionizing air cargo by making it digital, efficient, and customer-focused.
