Working Student People Operations (all genders)

Leipzig, Hybrid
Part-time
Working Student
16 - 19 € per hour

Your mission

You work directly with our People Performance & Culture Manager — the first people role in the company. You are the operational relief that keeps the build-up of the function from suffocating in administration.


  • You maintain our people data in Personio: master data, contracts, absences, time tracking 
  • You draft contracts, contract amendments, certificates, and references from templates.
  • You support preparatory payroll: collecting data, sanity-checking it, assembling the documents for our tax advisor and DATEV. 
  • You run onboarding and offboarding operationally: checklists, equipment, access, scheduling.
  • You support recruiting administratively: scheduling, candidate communication, applicant tracking hygiene.
  • You keep personnel files clean and GDPR-compliant.
  • You take on small process-improvement projects 

Your profile

  • You're an enrolled student, ideally in HR, business, psychology, or business law — though your way of working matters more to us than your major.
  • You work conscientiously and precisely. 
  • You treat sensitive data as absolutely confidential. 
  • You work independently. Your manager is building an entire function and cannot hold your hand.
  • You're confident in MS Office, particularly Excel and Word.
  • You communicate warmly and reliably, even when reminding someone about the same document for the third time.
  • Fluent German, good English.
  • 16 to 20 hours per week, predictable and dependable.

Why us?

We are the technology company rethinking group and event sales in hospitality. What runs today through inboxes, spreadsheets and phone calls, our platform Rocket turns into one continuous, AI-supported process — from the first enquiry to the signed contract. European hotel groups already run their group sales on it.
What that means for you: you work with AI, not despite it. People who join us give feedback that shapes product decisions — and sooner or later come to understand why one prompt works better than another.
And because we are growing fast, a lot here is still taking shape. Sometimes the honest answer is “we’re still building that.” That is exactly where the opportunity lies: you will find open space rather than finished structures, and what you build here will carry your signature.

What we offer

  • Work with real AI technology at international level — not as a pilot project, but as our business model.
  • Genuine room to shape things. Your ideas do not land in a suggestion box; they land in the next iteration.
  • A short path to the management team. Decisions take days, not committee rounds.
  • Growth you are part of. We are building the company’s next chapter — with roles, responsibility and prospects that did not exist a year ago.
  • Leipzig as your primary base, with regular time in the office and flexible remote work. Hybrid models are everyday practice here, not the exception.
  • Permanent contract, full-time.
  • Performance bonuses for demonstrable results.
  • Multi-day team events in places that are actually fun.

Our hiring process

  1. Intro interview — we get to know each other, and you learn where we stand and where we are heading.
  2. Case study or technical study, depending on the role — a real problem from our day-to-day that we work through together.
  3. Interview with your future manager and, depending on the position, with our founders.
From the first conversation to a decision takes at most two weeks. And you will hear from us either way — including when it is not a fit this time.

About us

MICE DESK is the leading technology partner in global group and convention sales – and is developing the first agentic operating system for the hospitality industry.
Our core product, Rocket, automates the entire group and convention sales process: from analysing enquiries and checking availability to integrating revenue data, creating quotes and finalising contracts. What currently takes hotels an average of two hours, Rocket completes in minutes.

What makes us unique: We don’t just build the platform. Where required, we also support our clients through a dedicated booking centre – our MICE DESK Crew – which provides hotels with direct support from experienced MICE professionals. AI and people working as a true partnership – not as a compromise.
