Job Description

At Supercharge, we go by the saying that ‘culture eats strategy for breakfast’, and our extraordinary People Ops & Recruitment team is at the forefront of building and nurturing our people-centered culture and community.

Over the past decade, we've built a team of exceptional professionals and awesome human beings and we are dedicated to making sure that every member of our community feels valued, supported, and empowered to do their best work. Our team of 9 works tirelessly to manage events, optimize HR processes, recruit top talent, and oversee complex organizational development projects.

We appreciate (dark) humor, strong work ethic, and transparency within our team and we're always on the lookout for new talent who share our passion for building a strong and supportive company culture. And, if you happen to love brunch, that's just the cherry on top!

We are looking for someone who has seen a lot and moved confidently across different areas of People Operations. Whether your background is rooted in HR or recruitment, you have built a diverse skill set over the years and feel comfortable owning multiple People domains end-to-end.
The stakes are high. Culture is a top priority at Supercharge. We put conscious effort into creating a workplace that brings out the best in people and feels like a community people genuinely belong to.
This role calls for someone who can balance business needs with human needs. Someone who is confident enough to challenge the business when needed and skilled enough to build buy in and alignment when that is the right path forward. We are looking for a seasoned professional who is calm under pressure, kind and approachable, and comfortable navigating complex situations with confidence.

Your day to day will include:

  • Owning and continuously improving People Operations processes across the full employee lifecycle
  • Ensuring smooth and human-centered onboarding and offboarding experiences
  • Overseeing payroll and benefits, working closely with external partners to ensure accuracy and compliance
  • Supporting and further developing performance management and feedback cycles
  • Actively contributing to learning & development initiatives, leadership support and people manager effectiveness
  • Driving employee engagement and satisfaction surveys, translating insights into meaningful action plans
  • Acting as a cultural anchor by supporting community building and internal culture initiatives
  • Actively participating in people & culture initiatives (Meetups, events, etc..) 
  • Leading and supporting the Recruitment Lead and Office Management Lead, while hands-on owning HR&Payroll, People Operations and Community areas
  • Partnering closely with senior stakeholders and C-level management on people-related topics
  • Ensuring continuous alignment and transparent reporting towards the CEO
  • Acting as a representative and key contributor to group-level People initiatives

What makes you thrive here:

  • 8+ years of experience across People Operations, Recruitment, Community building and HR process development
  • Hands-on experience with payroll, compensation and benefits in a multinational environment
  • Experience  in working at international/multinational companies, ideally in tech/IT
  • Confidence in building, scaling and refining People processes, not just maintaining them
  • Fluent in English and comfortable operating in an international setup
  • Ability to switch quickly and effectively between operational execution and strategic thinking
  • Comfortable rolling up your sleeves and handling tasks hands-on when needed
  • A true role model who leads by example and is willing to support day-to-day operations alongside the team
  • A genuine leader who not only talks about execution but can actively deliver results
  • Strong Excel skills, or a willingness and ability to learn quickly
  • Natural ability to build trust and strong relationships, with an open, approachable and people-centric mindset
  • Structured, reliable and calm presence, even when things are moving fast or changing constantly
  • Genuine care for culture, with the ability to protect and strengthen it through everyday decisions
  • Enjoyment in balancing strategic thinking with hands-on execution

Why join Supercharge?

  • To unleash your full potential, we’re here to help you grow every step of the way with exciting international projects, access to inspiring conferences, in-house soft skill trainings, and online courses. We’ll even support your English classes, and with our  skill matrix, you’ll always have a clear path to learn.
  • To feel your best, your wellbeing truly matters to us. That’s why we offer health coverage with Medicare, Life1 gym access to keep you moving, and extra sick days for those moments you just need a little rest. We celebrate milestones with a fully paid month off after five years, offer extra paternity leave for growing families, and provide support through our Employee Assistance Program.

Whether it’s our Summercharge festival, a football match, quiz night, or just grabbing a drink with teammates, there’s always something to look forward to. And with our buddy system, you’ll feel part of the team from day one.
  • To brighten your day, our dog-friendly office in the heart of Budapest is filled with good vibes, great coffee, tasty snacks (yes, including Túró Rudi!), and cozy corners to relax, connect, or have a little fun when you need a break. You’ll also have a yearly personal budget and a company library to keep your curiosity growing.
