Permanent employee, Full-time · HQ | Berlin

About us
We are building the #1 AI learning companion for 1bn students globally.

We are building a future where every student on the planet can access, enjoy, and benefit from the highest quality education. Since founding Knowunity straight out of high school in 2020, we've been committed to revolutionising how students learn.

Millions of students already use our AI learning companion weekly. The AI learning market is at an inflection point, finally enabling true personalisation at scale, and we're determined to build the first AI learning unicorn in this space.

You will join an elite team of 60 hands-on builders serving 1 billion students worldwide. If we execute on our product vision, you will have built something generational that transforms education globally.

This is your chance to be part of building a generational company.
Your mission
The problem you’ll solve: You’ll build the team behind the #1 AI learning companion by finding, attracting, and closing exceptional talent who can scale Knowunity’s impact to 1 billion students.

Your ownership: 
  • Own and drive the full-cycle recruitment process - from strategic sourcing to closing - for high-impact roles across all departments.

  • Build a talent engine powered by AI tools and automation that enables fast, high-quality hiring at scale.

  • Strengthen our employer brand to position Knowunity as a top destination for ambitious, mission-driven talent in tech and AI.

Why this matters: Every great product starts with the right people. The team you help build will directly accelerate our ability to grow ARR, increase DAUs, and ship the features that move us closer to reaching 1 billion students.

What success looks like: You’ll become the go-to partner for hiring managers, enabling them to move fast and make high-quality decisions with confidence. Candidates will walk away from the process energized by our culture and excited to join. You’ll bring in talent that raises the bar, fills key gaps, and contributes meaningfully to our mission. Over time, you’ll help shape a high-performance team known for speed, quality, and ambition - and create a hiring process that scales as we grow globally.
Your story
You understand that finding the right people is the foundation of any successful company. You get excited about connecting exceptional individuals with opportunities where they can thrive and make an impact. You're naturally curious and resourceful, constantly exploring new ways to find hidden talent pools.

You believe in quality over quantity and have a natural ability to spot potential that goes beyond what's written on a resume. You've developed a keen eye for the subtle indicators that someone will excel in a high-performance environment. You don't need extensive processes to be effective - you can create structure where needed while remaining agile enough to pivot when circumstances change. Above all, you're driven by results and take pride in building something meaningful.

- A growth mindset with eagerness to learn, adapt and implement new approaches
