At Leapsome, salary bands aren't a black box. We benchmark at the 75th percentile (90th for senior ICs) against tech companies at our stage, publish the bands publicly, and don't negotiate offers — because negotiation rewards whoever asks loudest, not whoever's doing the best work. If salary is the only blocker to you joining, tell us; we'd rather fix that than lose you over it.

What is Leapsome?

Leapsome is a B2B SaaS company offering one platform for HRIS, performance, and growth. Our platform has two pillars: HRIS (absence management, payroll prep, time tracking, docs and signatures, onboarding) and a Talent Suite (reviews, goals, surveys, learning, compensation), with AI agents, analytics, and workflows built into both. We serve 2,000+ companies across all industries and sizes, from startups to enterprise, including Spotify, Notion, Mercedes-Benz, and Bolt. We're headquartered in Berlin with teams across Europe and the US; the platform supports 38 languages, is GDPR compliant, and ISO 27001 certified.

Your Opportunity

This is a net-new role: it didn't exist because the discipline is newly emerging at Leapsome, where we build our HR team like product managers, and centre our work in impact and outcomes for the business. You'll own Talent and Interface Design within our People & Talent team — the work infrastructure behind how our own team operates, spanning Leapsome configuration, workflows, policies as products, and talent cycle architecture. You'll work in a squad model, alongside Human Experience Design and Coaching & Mentoring, building and maintaining world-class People Experiences, all owned by our VP People Strategy & Operations.

Your Responsibilities

  • Own the full interface architecture at Leapsome, with a focus on candidate-facing, but a voice on internal-facing workflows and systems

  • Anchor your work in recruitment and talent cycle design, understanding the employee journey from hire to retire

  • Owning recruitment cycles across the business, with experience sourcing, building pipelines, and managing open roles

  • Speaking at external events and being an advocate for Leapsome's product and work in the DE market

Your Profile

  • Fluent in German

  • Excited to operate the fundamentals of a world-class talent function, with experience across recruitment and talent management

  • Comfortable speaking at external events, with a history of writing, speaking, podcasts, or public advocacy

  • Able to own Recruitment and Talent messaging in the DE market for our team and product voice

  • A specific focus on automations and AI-literacy, with professional experience building and using cutting edge talent tools using AI

Benefits

  • Learning and development: Grow your skills with a €2,000 yearly development budget and full access to the Good Habitz platform.

  • Work-from-home stipend: A one-time €1,000 stipend to set up your home workspace.

  • Competitive pay and equity: Competitive salary plus a pre-IPO equity package, so you share in the company's growth.

  • Corporate benefits: Exclusive discounts and deals from our partner network.

  • Vacation: 30 vacation days a year plus public holidays, with the option to upgrade to 40 days at adjusted pay. After 5 years at Leapsome, take a month-long paid sabbatical.

  • Wellness benefits: Stay active with a fully sponsored Urban Sports Club M membership, and support your mental health with an Oliva subscription that includes 1:1 therapy sessions, plus company workshops on mindfulness and digital wellness.

  • Hybrid and flexible work: Spend 2 days a week with the team in our Berlin office, Tuesdays and Thursdays.

  • Sponsored lunch: Lunch is on us every Tuesday and Thursday.

  • Work from anywhere: Work from a different location for up to 2 months a year.
