Carbon emissions are still increasing, but we can do something about it.

In Europe, 12% of our CO₂ emissions come from heating our homes - just as much as using our cars.

Getting those emissions to zero will be a gargantuan task; retrofitting someone’s home is a complex task involving many stakeholders, and there are 90 million buildings that need an upgrade.

Our company has in its short lifespan seen enormous growth, and we’re now looking for more people to join us on our mission to decarbonise homes faster.

Short job description:

Build a people platform that enables Lun to decarbonise homes faster. As Lun’s new People Lead, you will report to the COO, support Lun’s venture-backed growth and play your part in reducing Europe’s carbon emissions.

You will be the first person on the People team, designing and implementing our People Ops & Hiring functions from scratch. That means systems, tools, processes and frameworks - basically designing and implementing a “people platform” for Lun.

Responsibilities:

We’re small now and early stage. As the first hire, your responsibility is broad as we build out the function together (and get you some helping hands!).

• Build People from Scratch: Build People Ops & Hiring functions from 0 to 1 with assistance from the rest of the team.
• Strategic support: Drive how the People function will support the company mission & strategy.

Relevant tidbits of context:

• We’re written, async, work-whenever by default.
• We have both an operations-heavy and a tech-side of the business with historically, traditionally different cultures.
• We have ambitious international expansion plans.
• We believe in clear expectations and coaching > instruction.
• We’ve got very operational backgrounds, but so far consist of people leaning unstructured.
• We find these sources inspiring:
