Intro
We’re seeking a People Operations Manager with an automation mindset to help us scale the right way.
Over the past few years, our team has more than doubled, we’re now around 60 people and on track to exceed 100 in the coming years. With that growth comes the challenge we care most about: preserving the culture that got us here.
At Feather, we believe in ownership, trust, and autonomy. These values aren’t just words. They shape how we work. As we scale, we want to reinforce them, not dilute them. That’s where you come in.
If you love streamlining processes, building scalable systems, and taking initiative, you’ll feel right at home here.
You'll be responsible for
Think of this list as a conversation starter. We’re counting on you to bring your experience and insights to shape how we do People Operations moving forward.
Maintain and automate all things people-related
We already have many great processes in place that you will take over and oversee.
- Administrative operations: Manage contracts, benefits, payroll, remote work logistics…
- Process ownership: Oversee and refine workflows such as company reimbursements, learning budget allocations, etc.
- Onboarding and offboarding: Manage smooth transitions for new joiners and leavers.
- Recruitment operations: Help managers run a smooth recruitment process.
- Employee engagement: Perform quarterly employee surveys.
At Feather, we love automating mundane tasks, which will help you do most of these tasks on autopilot.
Office management and in-person events organization
We’re a remote-first company with an office in Berlin. For this role, you must be based in Berlin and work from the office regularly. While we deeply value the flexibility of remote work, we also believe that some things, like building strong relationships and team culture, are best nurtured in person.
That’s why we organize regular in-person moments throughout the year, including retreats, team dinners, and off-site gatherings. You’ll play a key role in planning and coordinating these events.
- Organize a company retreat once or twice a year.
- Do office management. Ensure the office has all the necessary equipment (printing paper, drinks, coffee, etc.). Coordinate cleaning, process post, invoices, etc.
- Create a great office environment. We recently moved into a new office space, and we’d love you to help us set it up in a welcoming way.
Build and maintain a strong culture and employer brand
Help us attract top talent by spreading the word about Feather as an employer. This includes:
- Promote the company’s core values and culture: Shipping fast and iterating while fostering a work environment based on ownership, trust, and autonomy.
- Help us write content for our company blog, and find opportunities within the company to write content.
- Own the career page, regularly update it, and promote how we work at Feather.
About us
Feather was founded in 2018 by Rob Schumacher and Vincent Audoire, who both faced unexpected challenges navigating Germany’s complex insurance system—even as Europeans themselves. Frustrated by the bureaucracy and lack of clarity, they set out to create a better experience: one that was simple, accessible, and transparent.
Their journey began as part of the first Entrepreneur First Berlin cohort, a program dedicated to helping ambitious individuals build impactful companies from scratch. This foundation enabled them to turn their idea into a mission—making insurance radically easier for everyone.
That’s why we’ve built Feather to simplify every step of the insurance experience—from signing up and filing claims to asking questions or canceling a policy. Our goal is to provide honest, unbiased advice and empower people with the clarity they need to make confident decisions. And because insurance is still too complicated, we offer human support, helpful articles, and easy-to-use tools for those moments when people need a little extra guidance.
To date, Feather has helped people from over 150 countries get insurance online—and we’re growing fast.
