Germany
Here's the truth: I'm obsessed with the invisible stuff. The systems that work so well nobody notices them. The calendar coordination that saves someone 3 hours. The onboarding that makes you feel like you belong on day one. The process that just works. I have experience and genuine interest across HR Operations & People Coordinator; Founder Support; Executive Coordination; Operations Management; and honestly, I love all of it. Because they're all the same thing: making sure humans can do their best work without fighting the systems around them. What I Actually Do: I coordinate across everything. I support founders and executives by anticipating what they need before they ask. I build people operations that feel warm, not bureaucratic. I design office cultures where people actually want to show up. I manage calendars, vendors, benefits, events, data, processes; whatever needs owning. I spot what's broken and fix it. I learn new tools like Workday and Notion with genuine curiosity instead of dread. The International Piece: I've lived in three countries, worked with teams from 40 to 200 people, managed operations where everyone speaks a different language and checks email in different time zones. That taught me something crucial; great operations is just respectful logistics. It's about building systems that work across borders. How I Actually Work: I don't just execute tasks; I think about why we're doing them. I'm that person who reads Workday release notes because I'm genuinely interested. I bring energy to things that sound boring (vendor contracts! expense reports!) because I know they matter. I work independently, take initiative, and thrive in chaos. I care deeply about making organizations feel intentional and human. Languages & Culture: English (C2) | German (A2, learning B1 actively) | Dutch (Beginner) | Spanish (Beginner). I'm based in Berlin and genuinely committed to becoming fluent in German. My suitcase is perpetually half-packed and ready; if there's a role worth relocating for, I'm there. I've lived in three continents and learned that great organizations speak every language. What Gets Me Excited: Opportunities where I can own something completely. Startup environments. Founders or growing companies that care about both excellence and humanity. Roles where I can coordinate operations that move the needle and build cultures where people belong. If you're building something and need someone who genuinely loves making organizations run beautifully (and wants to grow into bigger responsibilities while doing it), let's talk.
