About the role

About Skailark
Revolutionize aviation ✈ data to help airlines become more sustainable, both economically πŸ“ˆ and environmentally 🌎
✈ The Challenge: Aircraft and airlines generate and collect massive amounts of data, but this data is hardly aggregated and leveraged in the industry. As a result, critical decisions are often based on fragmented or misinterpreted information, leading to financial inefficiencies and avoidable CO2 emissions.
πŸ’» Our Solution: At Skailark, we help airlines make smarter decisions β€” financially and environmentally. We’ve built a digital twin of the global aviation market, modeling every seat on every flight across every airline.
Trusted by airlines like American Airlines, British Airways, Finnair, and Transavia and airports such as London Heathrow, Skailark is where complex data meets real impact. Ready to help shape the future of aviation?
Your role
You will work directly with our Senior HR & Operations Manager and help build the backbone of a fast-growing startup: from finding our next great hires to keeping our office, IT and processes running smoothly. You will get hands-on insight into how HR, recruiting, office management, IT and procurement work at a scaling SaaS company, and take on real responsibility from day one. This role suits someone who is organised, enjoys making things run better and takes ownership of their work.
Support our end-to-end recruiting: screen applications, coordinate interviews, keep candidates updated and manage our careers inbox

Help shape our employer brand and think along about how we present Skailark to future talent

Support HR administration, such as onboarding and offboarding, leave tracking, employee records and preparing monthly payroll input

Be the hands-on go-to person in our Munich office: keep supplies stocked, handle the mail and coordinate with our cleaning team and building management

Keep our IT and tool stack up to date: set up devices and accounts for new joiners, maintain our IT inventory and licences, and provide first-level IT support

Support procurement by comparing offers, ordering smartly and keeping track of contracts and renewals

Help plan and organise team events, offsites and company events

Document and improve our processes in our HR & Operations handbook, using AI and automation to work smarter

Your profile
