Position Overview
We're a growing space-tech company on a steep trajectory, and the way we hire, onboard, and take care of our people will shape what kind of company we become.
We're looking for our Head of People & Culture - a senior person to own and grow this function end-to-end. You'll lead recruiting, onboarding, performance, and culture, and put in place the standards that let a fast-moving company stay great as it grows. You'll report directly to founding team and work closely with our team leads.
Your Daily Impact
- Owning hiring from start to finish - writing the role, finding candidates, interviewing, making offers.
- Upgrading and running a clear onboarding process for every new hire, in close coordination with Admin, IT, and team leads.
- Owning the policies and processes that keep how we work clear and consistent as the company evolves.
- Running performance and pay reviews, supporting managers, and stepping in for the harder conversations.
- Shaping our culture through all-hands, offsites, team events, and the smaller rituals that make Liftero feel like Liftero.
- Being Liftero's face for talent externally - at job fairs, in candidate conversations, and through employer branding work with Marketing.
- Growing a small People team around you as we scale, bringing in specialists in recruiting, HR ops, and culture over time.
Is This You?
- 4+ years working in People roles, including time at a startup or scale-up where you helped the company grow significantly.
- You've done a bit of everything - recruiting, HR ops, performance, pay, and culture. Not just one of these.
- You can switch gears in the same day - strategy in the morning, hands-on work in the afternoon.
- You speak Polish fluently and English well.
- You like building things - you'd rather create something new than tidy something that already exists.
- You're comfortable around engineers and technical people. Experience in hardware, aerospace, robotics, or automotive companies is a strong plus.

What It's Like to Work With Us
Working at Liftero is meaningful, fast-paced, and human. We’re not trying to copy corporate culture or pretend that work is your second home - we respect your time, your life outside of work, and the fact that we’re all just people. If you're having a tough day, say it - we’ll work it out. If you’re in flow and want to build through the night, we trust you to manage your own time.
Building serious space tech takes focus, dedication, and real effort. It can be demanding - but it’s also where you’ll grow, both professionally and personally.
We’ve created a unique company culture that’s shaped by mutual respect and a shared drive to build things that fly. Whether you’re loud and all-in, or more quiet and independent - there’s space for you here.
We work in our own project management framework, refined over years of iteration. It helps us move quickly, stay flexible, and give every team member a real voice in shaping the final product.
