(Senior) People Operations Manager in Berlin bei The Jodel Venture

The Jodel Venture

Company Description

Jodel was launched in 2014. The idea of Jodel started when we realised that despite countless products in tech, there was no fast and simple way to connect with people around us.

The people behind Jodel are as diverse, creative and friendly as our users. We are a 90+ people strong team with over 25+ nationalities represented in our Berlin HQ and all over the world. Each individual brings a different perspective and approach to the table - but all have the same drive and motivation to create the world’s hyperlocal community. Together, we are building the most successful social media platform in Europe, while still enjoying ourselves in this exciting journey.

Now we are looking for our next colleague to join the Jodel team.
