HR Generalist (Startup | Growth to Head of HR)

Crypto Exchange · Remote (Europe) · Full-time · B2B

About the Opportunity

We are a recruitment partner working with a company building a cryptocurrency exchange in the UAE, currently at an early stage.

The team is looking for a hands-on HR Generalist to support hiring and build core HR processes from scratch while the company scales its leadership team.

This is a high-impact role with strong ownership, combining recruitment, HR operations, and process building — with a clear path to grow into a Head of HR role as the team expands.

What Makes This Role Interesting

• Early-stage crypto company (pre-launch)

• Work directly with founders and key stakeholders

• Opportunity to grow into Head of HR (team scaling 0 → 30)

• Build HR processes from scratch

• High ownership and visibility

What We're Looking For

• 3–5 years of experience as an HR Generalist / Talent Operations / HR Manager

• Startup experience (early-stage preferred)

• Hands-on experience across both:

  • recruitment (coordination + some sourcing/interviewing)

  • HR operations (onboarding, documentation, processes)

• Experience working with external recruitment agencies

• Strong organisational and communication skills

• Comfortable working in ambiguity and building processes from scratch

• Based in Europe (must-have)

• English — B2+

Nice to Have
