Human Resource Manager

Resaro was founded on the belief that AI will change the world in ways we cannot even imagine, but every new technology needs safeguards to advance.

About the Role

We are an ambitious AI startup building cutting-edge technology and scaling rapidly across regions. We are looking for a hands-on People Manager based in Munich, who thrives in fast-moving environments and enjoys building HR foundations from scratch.

This role is ideal for someone with startup experience who has successfully hired and supported offshore technical teams (engineering, data, AI/ML) and can balance strategic thinking with day-to-day execution.

You will work closely with leaders, and offshore teams to shape people practices that support growth, innovation, and a strong company culture.
