Talent & HR Manager

Join our team in Leuven to help us build and scale the best team at Predikt.

We're looking for an all-round Talent \& HR Manager

who is equal parts recruiter, people champion, and builder — someone who thrives in a fast-scaling startup and wants to shape our people function from the ground up.

About Predikt

Predikt is a dynamic Swiss-Belgian deeptech company at the forefront of innovation, developing cutting-edge AI-driven technology. We are an AI-driven cost \& margin intelligence platform built for enterprise procurement and finance teams, providing unmatched visibility into external cost drivers and their impact on margins. We empower organizations to navigate market volatility, proactively manage risks, protect profitability and make confident, data-driven decisions. As an early-stage startup, we are fueled by a strong sense of mission and enthusiasm, striving to make cost intelligence accessible to every procurement and finance leader across the globe.

At Predikt, we are defined by our core values and high ambitions. We are a company that champions integrity, innovation and excellence, creating an environment where everyone supports each other and works collaboratively towards common goals. Our customer-centric approach ensures we deliver exceptional value and service, while fostering a culture of mutual respect, open communication, and continuous improvement.

Join us on this exciting journey as we transform the way procurement and finance teams understand and act on cost and create a future where volatility is no longer a threat, but a challenge every organization is equipped to face with confidence.

About the Role

Predikt is scaling fast, and we can no longer handle talent on the side. We need someone to own it. As our first Talent \& HR Manager, you'll build and run the full people lifecycle — from finding great candidates to making sure they thrive once they're in the door.

This role is genuinely all-round: you'll set up our recruiting engine, run onboarding, maintain and evolve our growth plans, and lay the groundwork for compensation \& benefits as we grow. You'll work directly with the founders \& Chief of Staff and have real autonomy to shape how Predikt attracts, hires, and develops its people. If you're the type who loves ticking things off a list AND building the system behind it, you'll fit right in.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end recruiting

: set up and manage our ATS, write job descriptions, source and screen candidates, coordinate interviews, and manage the pipeline for multiple open roles simultaneously.

• Run structured onboarding

: design and execute an onboarding process that gets new hires up to speed quickly, feeling welcomed, and set up for success from day one.

• Maintain and execute growth plans

: keep individual development plans up to date, support managers in running meaningful growth conversations, and ensure follow-through on development commitments. Over time, build out a broader learning \& development framework — think structured career paths, internal knowledge sharing and programmes that help our people grow as fast as the company does.

• Build the compensation \& benefits foundation

: over time, design and roll out a total rewards framework that helps us attract and retain top talent as we scale — think cafeteria/flex plans, bonus structures, salary benchmarking, and benefits that actually matter to people.

• Own people operations

: handle the day-to-day HR backbone — contracts, onboarding admin, compliance and making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.

• Act as an HR business partner to the team

: be a trusted advisor to managers and founders on people topics — org design, performance conversations, team dynamics, and anything that helps Predikt build and maintain a great place to work.

• Improve how we work

: spot friction in our people processes and fix it — we're not looking for someone who manages the status quo, but someone who keeps making it better.

Requirements

• 2–4 years of experience in a talent, HR or people operations role, ideally at a fast-growing startup or scale-up.
• Hands-on recruiting experience: you've run full recruitment cycles independently and are comfortable sourcing, not just posting and waiting.
• Familiarity with ATS tooling — setting one up from scratch is a big plus.
• Experience designing or running onboarding programmes.
• Strong organizational skills and a bias for action — you make things happen without being told twice.
• Excellent communicator: clear, direct, and trusted by both candidates and colleagues.

Nice to Haves

• Experience with compensation \& benefits structuring, or familiarity with cafeteria/flexible benefits plans.
• Background in HR business partnering or people development, not just recruitment.
• Experience building HR processes from scratch in an early-stage company.
• Familiarity with Belgian employment law and HR compliance.
