Working Student (f/m/x) People Operations - #2777981

Intro

Hamburg Hybrid | 16 – 18 € per hour (15–20 hrs/week) | 12-month contract | German & English C1

Do you want to support the people behind the energy transition – and be the one they can count on when things need to get done? Join suena energy as Working Student (f/m/x) People Operations and support our People team in day-to-day operations and ongoing projects.

You’ll report to Marietta, our People Lead, and work closely with Anna (People Operations) and Irina (People Partner). You’re based in Hamburg and enjoy coming into the office every now and then – how often, we’ll figure out together.

suena energy is a green tech startup specializing in algorithmic energy trading for energy storage systems and renewables.

Our vision: a world where clean energy is used reliably, economically, and intelligently - and where we actively accelerate the energy transition by enabling batteries and renewables to power our grids. With our AI-based optimization and trading software, we maximize the value and market participation of large-scale energy storage and renewable assets in short-term electricity and balancing markets - while minimizing risk for operators.

We’re a 60+ person team that’s fast-paced by nature, but the kind of place where people actually look out for each other. Following our successful Series A, we’re investing in expanding our team – and our People team is growing with it.

Your mission

• Support our day-to-day People Ops – master data in Personio, contract changes, certificates. Over time, some of these become your own tasks.
• Help with benefits – set up new joiners and keep the overview up to date.
• Help out on People projects – currently Compensation & Benefits, time tracking, performance management and onboarding.
• Support our HR reporting – pull data together and keep our reports up to date.
• Support the suena Academy – together with Irina on learning formats and people development.
• Get a look into Talent Acquisition if you like – e.g. by helping to schedule interviews.
  
  

Your profile

• You’re enrolled at university – e.g. in (business) psychology, business administration with an HR focus, or something similar – for at least the next 12 months.
• First HR experience – through an internship, a working student job or student consulting.
• You’re a people person – you enjoy being there for colleagues’ questions and care that people feel well looked after, not just that the paperwork is in order.
• Routine and projects – you’re happy to take care of recurring tasks and enjoy jumping into projects, too.
• You think along – when something’s unclear, you ask or suggest a solution. You handle sensitive data discreetly. Startup experience is a plus.
• Personio experience is a plus – especially if you’ve already worked with its reporting and metrics. Notion know-how helps, too.
• Confident German and English (C1) – our HR documents run in both languages.
