Delvo is the agentic intelligence layer for strategic procurement — a system that thinks, acts, and learns alongside the teams managing $50 trillion in global spend. We help enterprise customers across energy, automotive, and chemicals negotiate better, prepare 10x faster, and turn reactive cost control into proactive value creation.
We're a small founding team, shipping daily, working directly with customers and moving fast.
You'll be Delvo's first dedicated People hire, a true founding role spanning recruiting, people ops, culture, and people development. Right now, the clear majority of this role is recruiting: owning our hiring engine end-to-end, from the first touchpoint to the moment someone walks in on their first day. The other areas below are a real and growing part of the job, but recruiting is where we need you focused today.
Recruiting (the major focus right now). Own our hiring engine end-to-end: sourcing, pipeline, candidate experience, offers, closing.
People Ops. Onboarding, contracts, compensation, benefits, and HR compliance — relevant and growing in scope as we add headcount.
Culture. Shape and nurture Delvo's founding culture as we scale — team rituals, values, and a feedback-rich environment where people do their best work.
People Development. Build the frameworks for growth: team design, goal-setting, performance feedback, and career development paths.
Build your AI agent team. Set up agents as your first "hires" to handle sourcing, screening, and recurring workflows. We build agents for our customers, and we run on them ourselves.
Experience in people ops, recruiting, or a generalist people role — we care more about what you've owned than how many years you've been doing it.
Startup experience strongly preferred. Ideally you've been through the zero-to-one phase before: joining a company early, building processes from scratch, and figuring things out without a playbook.
A hands-on owner: organized, reliable, and discreet with sensitive information.
Warm and people-first: a recruiter at heart and the first face many people see.
Excited to work AI-native and build your own agent team.
Fluent in English (German is nice to have, but not required).
Competitive salary and meaningful equity.
Delta Campus, Berlin Neukölln — in-office culture.
Learning budget, team events, and a true founding-team culture.
