People Operations Manager

At Spirii, we are more than a company; we are a community driving the future of mobility with curiosity, connectedness, and courage.

We stay humble, human, and collaborative. We respect each other and help everyone grow.

We are now looking for a People Operations Manager who brings both heart and structure to our People function.

Someone who thrives in a scale-up where no two days are the same, cares deeply about people, and knows how to build strong, compliant, and scalable HR processes.

You will report directly to our Director of People and work closely with Finance, Legal, IT, and managers across the business. This is a central role in building our next phase of growth, both in Denmark and across international markets.

We are currently a team of 200+ people across multiple countries, and continuing to grow steadily as we expand our international presence.

What you will do

You will own and run our People Operations engine with care, speed, and structure — helping us scale with clarity, compliance, and a human touch.

Your focus areas:

Employee Lifecycle & HR Operations

• Manage all People processes: onboarding, offboarding, contracts, changes, parental/sick leave, and more
• Act as superuser for BambooHR, Deel, Notion — maintain clean systems and smooth workflows
• Create and maintain documentation: onboarding guides, templates, policies, manager resources
• Provide day-to-day support to employees and managers on People-related topics

Compliance & Local Legislation

• Ensure we comply with Danish employment law (contracts, working time, leaves, etc.)
• Handle all processes on Virk.dk, NemRefusion, and other relevant portals
• Support cross-border compliance in collaboration with our EOR partner (Deel)
• Coordinate employee registrations, relocations, and contract changes across markets

Culture, Performance & People Support

• Support performance reviews, engagement surveys, people data reporting, and recognition processes
• Act as a partner to managers to guide them through People processes
• Balance care and structure while helping build a strong culture across teams

Payroll, Benefits & Legal Support

• Work closely with Finance and Legal to manage payroll inputs, pension schemes, employment changes, audits, and benefits setup
• Support documentation and admin for bonuses, salary adjustments, and time registration

Bonus

• While recruitment is not part of this role, it is a plus if you have knowledge of full-cycle recruitment or coordination — this helps you better understand the full People function and collaborate with our Talent Acquisition team when needed

What we are looking for

You are structured, proactive, and confident working in an environment where things move fast and processes are still evolving. You have strong integrity, ownership, and care deeply about the people behind the systems.

• 5+ years of experience in People Operations, HR, or People & Culture
• Experience in a scale-up or high-growth company
• Deep knowledge of Danish employment legislation, HR compliance, and legal HR processes
• Hands-on experience with Virk.dk, NemRefusion, and employee registration flows
• Comfortable working with payroll inputs, collaborating with Finance, and understanding local benefits
• Strong system skills: BambooHR, Deel, Notion, Workday, or similar tools
• Fluent in English (Danish is a strong plus)
• Excellent attention to detail and documentation habits
• High level of discretion, confidentiality, and judgment when handling sensitive employee information
• You enjoy building — not just maintaining — and are not afraid to test, improve, and document as you go
• You are confident setting priorities independently, pushing back when needed, and always communicating with clarity and care
• Nice to have, not required: Experience in recruitment coordination or hiring processes

Benefits

It is important for us to create a healthy, diverse, fun, and creative working environment, so besides all the basic benefits, we also focus a lot on social activities, flexible working hours and a good work-life balance.

• Flexible Work Environment: Enjoy a collaborative, inclusive, and open workplace designed to fit your needs and support work-life balance.
• Competitive Package: A competitive salary, an 11% company pension plan, and a comprehensive benefits package.
• Time to Recharge: Benefit from 32 paid vacation days and paid parental leave to focus on what matters most.
• Career Growth: Access professional development opportunities and grow your career in a high-impact, high-growth industry.
• Stay Energized: Enjoy excellent coffee, tea, free snacks, and subsidized lunches at the office.
• Stay Active: Use our Spirii gym and shared company car to keep moving.
• Make an Impact: Be part of a team driving the future of sustainable energy while working on meaningful projects.

The position is a permanent position in Copenhagen, Denmark.
