People Operations Team Lead

Turning operational excellence into a meaningful global people experience.

At Trackunit, we believe people are the foundation of our organizational growth. We’re looking for a Team Lead in People Operations who thrives on building systems that scale, connects business strategy to operational excellence, and enables people and the organization to grow together.

You will work as a team lead with operational responsibilities in an international context, set a clear strategic direction, collaborate with many different stakeholders, and focus on delivering impactful people solutions at scale. This is your opportunity to build the backbone of how People Operations supports Trackunit’s global growth — from process design to system optimization to insight-driven decision-making.

This is a key role for an experienced people professional who thrives on building systems and structure, enabling people, and using data and systems to scale people practices globally.

With locations in the hearts of Aarhus and Aalborg, we offer you a flexible setup with the possibility to work from one of these locations. No relocation assistance is offered for this position.

• Flexibility and hybrid working is not just a cliché to us or something we state in a job posting. We do offer you a flexible setup and believe that you best can structure how your routines look like. And once you have chosen how you work best, let us know what you need: we got you covered with the IT equipment you need for your work.
• Turning the Tide. At Trackunit, we aim to create and contribute to an inclusive workplace. And this priority starts with our hiring - we do not discriminate on the basis of gender identity, sexual orientation, personal expression, ethnicity, religious belief, or disability status. We only assess candidates on their qualifications and merit. Learn more about TIDE and other DE&I initiatives here.
