HR Manager

About N5Deal
N5Deal is an international fintech and M&A platform helping banks, fintech companies, investors and entrepreneurs:
• discover and evaluate acquisition opportunities;
• buy and sell regulated businesses and financial licences;
• enter new markets and jurisdictions;
• launch new financial products;
• connect with relevant buyers, sellers and partners.

We work in a very specialized and relationship-driven market.

Our founders have hands-on fintech and M&A experience and an international network across banking, financial services, professional services and related industries.

The platform already generates real deal flow. We are now moving from an “early”-style organization to a more structured stage and want to build our internal people processes in the same way: practical, simple and connected to real business needs.

Main Responsibilities
• Work directly with founders and managers to understand hiring and people needs.
• Synchronize expectations between the business and employees.
• Search and select strong candidates for IT, fintech and business positions.
• Run initial interviews and evaluate candidates before involving the hiring manager.
• Build and maintain a pipeline of relevant candidates, not only search when a vacancy becomes urgent.
• Organize and improve basic HR processes: onboarding, probation, feedback, performance reviews and offboarding.
• Help managers deal with people-related questions and performance issues.
• Organize HR documentation and employee records.
• Identify what should be automated in HR processes and formulate requirements for internal tools or integrations where it makes sense.
• Support occasional team activities and offline team buildings.
Requirements
• 3+ years of experience in HR, Talent Acquisition or a similar role.
• Experience with modern sourcing and recruiting tools.
• Ability to independently search, approach and evaluate candidates.
• Strong communication skills.
• Ability to work directly with managers and understand the business need behind a hiring request.
• Good analytical skills and attention to detail.
• English - B2 or higher.
• Comfortable working in an environment where not every process is already defined.

Strong Plus
• Experience in product companies or startups.
• Experience with fintech or financial services.
• Experience working directly with founders.
• Experience building HR processes from scratch.
• Experience hiring both technical and business roles.

This Role Is Probably Not for You If
“I want to work in a structured process that almost never changes.”

N5Deal is still a live business moving from early startup to a more structured stage. Priorities can change together with the market. We expect people to understand what creates value for the business and adjust when needed.

“I can’t work without a clearly defined task.”
We do not expect HR to simply receive a vacancy description and execute it.
If something does not make sense, we expect you to ask questions, challenge it and help find a better solution.
For us, it is important that people think about business value, not only about completing assigned tasks.

What We Offer
• Monday–Friday, 9:00–18:00 European time.
• Remote work.
• Flexible working environment.
• International market and team.
• High level of autonomy.
• Direct access to founders and decision-makers.
• Real influence on how the company hires and works.
• Opportunity to build HR processes instead of only maintaining existing ones.

About the Business
N5Deal works at the intersection of fintech, regulation, technology and M&A. We work with founders, investors, financial institutions and companies entering or expanding in regulated financial markets.

Our main areas include:
• Fintech M&A marketplace - licensed companies available for acquisition across multiple jurisdictions.
• End-to-end deal support - from initial interest to due diligence, negotiation and closing.
• Regulatory and licensing support.
• Partner ecosystem around banking, payments, crypto infrastructure, core banking and technology.
• New internal products around data, outreach, automation and deal execution.
