Mission of the role:
We are looking for a proactive and thoughtful Head of People & Culture to run our HR function day to day and keep our people processes working smoothly.

• Being informed – We are making sure everyone is up to date with the latest news and developments in the company.
• Speaking your mind – No matter what your position is – your ideas, proposals and feedback are always heard.
• The spirit of Cobuilder – we hold regular team parties, we have our own social channels for quick communication, and we have fun both offline and online.
