People lead / Senior People Systems Lead (Berlin)

Every is a DTC food subscription company doubling year over year. As we scale and seniorise, people systems become one of the biggest levers for the next 10×.
We’re looking for a senior People lead to help us grow by rolling out our existing leadership principles into daily practice, building a manager-run feedback/performance culture, and keeping compensation and team health clean and fair.

• Hiring strategy and process quality (with managers + recruiters executing)

• HR ops foundations and compliance as we scale

What success looks like

• Principles are lived, not just written
• Managers level up fast and consistently
• 360 feedback and performance cycles are useful and predictable
• Compensation is clear and fair
• Engagement stays high through change
• HR ops “just works” in the background
