About us

We are building the #1 AI learning companion for 1 billion 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 eliminate the operational friction that slows down a high-growth team, designing people systems that scale as we build the #1 AI learning platform for 1 billion students.

Your ownership: 

• Own and build seamless onboarding and offboarding experiences that make every team member feel set up for success from day one.
• Drive automation, AI tools, and process improvements across People Ops to reduce admin time and improve team efficiency.
• Build and maintain scalable people systems - from payroll and compliance to visas and workplace experience - that empower our team to do their best work.

Why this matters: When our team operates at full capacity, we can ship faster, support more students, and grow ARR and DAU by delivering more value every day. Your work is foundational to our mission, and it touches every team member who makes it possible.

What success looks like: You’ll create an environment where operational tasks run smoothly in the background - onboarding feels effortless, systems are reliable and scalable, and your peers feel fully supported to focus on high-impact work. The team will notice the difference in day-to-day efficiency, and you’ll be recognized as the person who quietly powers everything behind the scenes. Over time, your contributions will shape a People Ops function that’s not only future-ready, but gives us a real edge as we scale to serve millions more students.

Your story

Your mindset
You’re the type of person who:

• Thinks in systems - when you see a manual process, you instinctively look for ways to automate or streamline it
• Takes ownership fast - you don’t wait for permission to improve something that’s broken or inefficient
• Balances precision with impact - you sweat the details but never lose sight of the bigger operational picture
• Thrives in motion - you’re energized by fast-paced environments and love juggling multiple priorities without dropping the ball
• Leverages AI - as a force multiplier in everything you do
• Values excellence over comfort - mediocrity isn’t in your vocabulary

Your track record
You’ve made work lives smoother, faster, and more efficient by building or improving people operations systems. Whether it was simplifying onboarding, resolving HR bottlenecks, or rolling out new tools, your impact showed up in happier teams, fewer errors, and faster processes. You’ve supported teams in dynamic environments and built trust by being reliable, proactive, and service-driven.

Must-haves

• Experience in people ops, HR admin, or operational roles where you owned processes and made things work better
• Confident navigating tools (HRIS, payroll, etc.) and picking up new systems quickly
• Fluent English; German is a plus
• Ready to work from our Berlin office 5 days/week (with some flexibility!)
