People Lead (m/w/d)

At FORMEL SKIN, we’re redefining how dermatological care is accessed — combining medical excellence with cutting-edge technology to build a truly global online dermatology clinic. Having already delivered over one million treatments and backed by leading European health and consumer investors, we’ve recently joined forces with Voy to create one of the most ambitious health tech platforms globally. As we launch and scale new treatment categories in Germany, our growth ambitions are accelerating — and building exceptional teams is central to making that happen.

As a People Lead (m/f/d) at FORMEL SKIN, you'll play a central role in shaping the employee experience as we scale. Your focus will be on building and continuously improving the people processes, programs, and culture that allow our team to do their best work.

What you’ll be doing

• Own People Ops processes end-to-end, ensuring a smooth, legally compliant and employee-centred lifecycle
• Continuously improve our HR systems, documentation, and workflows: spot inefficiencies, propose solutions, and actually implement them
• Drive the evolution of our performance, feedback and development processes so they're meaningful and not just a checkbox exercise
• Experience with HR system migrations or transformations is a strong plus
• Ensure a high-quality employee experience at every touchpoint: consistent, values-aligned, and human
• Act as a trusted partner and sounding board for managers on employment law, people development and day-to-day HR topics across both our Berlin and London teams
• Collaborate with leadership to achieve healthy levels of engagement , retention and D&I metrics
• Use people analytics and insights to inform decisions and shape strategies that drive real results
• Support change management and organisational development initiatives as we scale
• Lead, mentor and develop a small People team: creating clarity, room to grow and a high-performance culture

What you need to shine

• Substantial experience in a People/HR generalist role, with some experience leading or mentoring others
• Solid knowledge of German employment law and HR processes, ideally from a fast-growing start-up or scale-up environment
• A track record of building or improving people programs: not just inheriting and maintaining them
• Confident with HR systems, collaboration tools, and ideally learning, feedback, and performance platforms
• High emotional intelligence, discretion, and trustworthiness: People feel safe coming to you
• Strong communication, coaching, and conflict resolution skills, with the ability to adapt your style to any audience
• Comfortable with ambiguity and genuinely energised by the pace of a scale‑up
• Fluent in German (C1) and English (C1 minimum), you'll use both daily

Why work with us?

• Building a great team together: At FORMEL SKIN, we believe that strong teams are built on trust, collaboration, and shared ambition.
