Team Assistant (m/f/d)

Role

Founded by aviation veterans with deep expertise in drone hardware, secure communications, and autonomous systems, we are building the backbone for global robotic collaboration, serving customers in defence, disaster response, critical infrastructure, and beyond.

As our Team Assistant, you are the operational backbone of the Hive Robotics office in Munich, on a part-time (approx. 30h/week) or full-time basis. You keep things running smoothly so that our engineers and leadership can focus entirely on building world-class technology. You are organized, proactive, and at ease in a fast-moving startup environment where priorities can shift quickly and no two days look the same. Over time, you will also take on sensitive operational responsibilities in HR administration and finance support, making trust and discretion central to this role. We expect regular on-site presence in our Munich office given the nature of these responsibilities.

• Coordinate onboarding logistics for new team members (access, equipment, office setup)
• Support administrative tasks such as invoice processing and travel expense pre-accounting
• Oversee office assets including keys, access cards, and equipment tracking
• Identify and implement improvements to administrative processes and tools

Requirements

• Experience in team assistance, office management, or a comparable administrative role, ideally in a startup or fast-paced environment
