Stellenbeschreibung

Upway is the leading platform selling refurbished e-bikes in Europe and the US. Our mission is to make electric mobility accessible to everyone. As People OPS & Office Manager, you will own the people operations and office backbone of our DACH organization.

You will play a critical role across people operations (payroll, contracts, employee lifecycle), HR administration and compliance, and office management for our Berlin sites (Upcenter and managers), working closely with the GM DACH and our external partners (accountant, payroll provider, service providers).

This role is ideal for a highly organized, people person, detail-oriented person who thrives on running reliable processes autonomously in a fast-paced environment.

  • Payroll: prepare monthly payroll with our accountant/payroll provider (working hours, sick leave, vacation), check payslips
  • Contracts and employee lifecycle: draft and manage employment contracts, amendments and certificates; run onboarding and offboarding end-to-end (paperwork, equipment, system access)
  • Safety and people compliance: ensure compliance with occupational health and safety requirements, maintain employee records, ensure compliance with German labour law and internal HR policies, and act as first point of contact for warehouse staff and operations in Berlin regarding people topics.
  • Office management & team events: manage office services and supplies (incl work clothes), own the relationships with service providers, handle mail and document filing, manage the office budget
  • Process improvements: identify gaps in HR and office processes and fix them so they scale with the team
  • 3+ years of experience in HR administration, people operations or office management, ideally in a startup or scale-up
  • Hands-on experience with German payroll preparation and coordination with external payroll accountant, employment contracts
  • Exceptional organization, attention to detail and discretion with confidential information
  • Service Orientation: Solution-driven, with a genuine drive to make colleagues work easier.
  • Familiarity with HR tools (e.g. Personio) and strong Google Workspace/Excel skills
  • Fluent German and very good English (written and spoken)

  • Full ownership of your scope: you are the reference for people operations and office management in DACH, not one piece of a large HR department
  • Direct line to the GM DACH and the leads: close collaboration with leadership and visibility on how the organization runs
  • Build, not just maintain: shape and scale the processes behind a fast-growing team across office and warehouse (UpCenter) staff in DACH
  • Mission-driven company: help make electric mobility accessible while extending the lifecycle of e-bikes

In 2021, Toussaint Wattinne and Stéphane Ficaja, both former Uber executives, noticed a significant problem in the electric bike market: high-quality e-bikes were prohibitively expensive for many riders, and purchasing pre-owned bikes came with too much uncertainty and risk. Determined to solve both issues, they founded Upway to create a trusted marketplace where riders could access professionally refurbished electric bikes at up to 60% off retail prices. Upway's innovative approach involves sourcing pre-owned e-bikes from individuals, retailers, rental fleets, and manufacturer returns. Each bike then undergoes rigorous inspection and certification by professional mechanics at their 'UpCenters' before being offered for sale. The company has grown rapidly from its French origins to operate in nine countries across Europe and North America, with workshops in Paris, Berlin, New York, and expanding locations. In just three years, Upway has refurbished over 100,000 e-bikes with an ambitious goal of reaching 1 million by 2030. The company's mission is to make sustainable e-mobility accessible to everyone while reducing electronic waste.
