Additional Information

Join Voyfai, a fast-growing Series A startup shaping the future of logistics and technology across Europe. Headquartered in Berlin, we operate at the centre of a broader group of companies active across several European markets. This is a unique opportunity to work directly with our Co-Founders from day one, drive meaningful impact and grow within a dynamic, fast-paced environment. Whether you're shaping how we run the company, leading strategic initiatives or building new organisational rhythms from scratch, your contributions will directly influence the success of Voyfai and the companies we support. If you're passionate about building from scratch and excited to be part of a company on the rise, we'd love to hear from you. Your Role As Director People (m/f/d), you will be Voyfai's first senior People leader and the architect of how People operates across our group. This is not a traditional HR leadership role. You will build the function from the ground up, shape organisational design across multiple businesses, and act as a trusted advisor to founders, executives, and company leaders throughout the group. Voyfai operates within a growing portfolio of companies across Europe. As we continue to scale and integrate new businesses, you will play a central role in helping leaders navigate growth. You will work directly with our Co-Founders on some of the company's most important people and organisational decisions. Success in this role requires strong business judgment, the ability to influence senior stakeholders, and the confidence to challenge assumptions when needed. We are looking for someone who combines strategic thinking with hands-on execution and is comfortable building before there is a team to delegate to.
