Senior People Partner

Lingokids' mission is to help 100 million families around the world raise amazing children through playlearning™. To help us on this mission we’re looking for an exceptional Senior People Partner. The role can be fully remote or based in our sunny Madrid office.

Our goal

We’re reinventing early childhood education through an online language learning service for kids. With fresh content - games, books, videos, interactive episodes, etc - every week, we are helping more than 40M families and their children around the world learn English in a fun and effective way.

Our dream is to have a positive impact on 100M families and we’re working hard to make it a reality. Our talented team of product designers, software engineers, and content producers tweak and improve our product daily while incorporating feedback from our customers.

Are you ready to Playwork™ with us?

The Sr. People Partner mission is to contribute to build and develop a high performing team by helping managers hire the best talent, support them in defining development plans according to their roles and help to strengthen our Lingokids Culture.

We are 7 teammates in the People&Culture team working in developing projects and initiatives to make the best of life in Lingokids. This is an exciting opportunity to join a team of talented people where wellbeing is at the forefront of our decision making. As a strategic partner, you will be able to have a real impact on the definition of the future of Lingokids by supporting leaders building high-performance teams.

The ideal teammate for us would be someone widely experienced in HR generalist positions, with a special focus on people, as it is fundamental to be successful in the role. It would also be great if you knew how to set up innovative People processes and procedures in a scale up company, as it would help you ramp up faster in this challenge.
