HR Business Partner

We are hiring our very first HR Business Partner to build and own the HR function from scratch. This is a unique opportunity to shape all facets of HR - from strategy and structure to people and culture - in a company where your impact will be felt from day one.

Who we are

ChronosHub is the leading open-access management platform streamlining data and simplifying communication flows for customers worldwide. We have a classic start-up mentality with all this entails – a young environment, flat organizational structure, foosball table, enormous flexibility, ups and downs, but most importantly, we learn and evolve.

Where you will work

You will work from our headquarter in central Copenhagen.
