People Operations Manager

We 💛 small business

We founded Holvi in 2011, in Helsinki. As self-employed people wading through oceans of paperwork, we noticed something funny going on – traditional banks were giving us the cold shoulder. Why not help ourselves? We asked. And so, with time and effort (and lots of coffee), we mastered small business finance – and Holvi was born.

Our vision is simple: Eliminate the distractions of financial admin and simplify work life, because running a business is hard enough. Small businesses shouldn’t have to worry about spreadsheets and lost receipts.

Since our inception as a pioneering fintech, we've experienced our fair share of challenges and growth. We explored different paths, and from those experiences, we've evolved. Today, we stand as a team-owned and profitable company , proud of our journey.

Right now, we’re looking for a People Operations Manager to join our team in Helsinki for a 12 months’ cover. If you want to help us make self-employment a little easier, Holvi is for you.

It’s all about people

You will focus mostly on supporting the Holvians based in Helsinki and in our remote locations with all things employee lifecycle related. 

A typical week could see you:

• Managing payroll together with our partners, including the related paperwork and benefits administration
• Managing employment agreements, personnel records and our employee stock options administration

• Occasionally adding to our set of people related policies and guidelines to ensure we have the needed documentation to support our people’s daily work
