At Nitex, we’re rebuilding the backend of fashion — with speed, creativity, and AI.
We’ve gone from scrappy startup to powering some of Europe’s largest fashion brands with a fully tech-enabled design-to-delivery supply chain. Now, we’re scaling fast — and we need someone to own one of the most important pieces: our people.
This is our first People hire in Europe. You won’t just “support HR.” You’ll own hiring, performance, and people operations across our European org — starting with our design, biz dev, and ops teams in Barcelona and London.
If you’ve built teams in high-growth, high-performance startups before — and you believe that great cultures don’t happen by accident — read on.
What You’ll Own
1. Hiring with Urgency & Precision
Lead full-cycle hiring for our European teams (design, sales, ops)
Work directly with founders and team leads to define roles, standards, and ideal profiles
Build scrappy but effective sourcing processes, from referrals to outbound
Drive bar-raising assessments and decisive, fast hiring loops
2. Performance Management with Teeth
- Performance Management with Teeth
Implement structured performance reviews — not for formality, but for clarity and accountability
Help managers become great leaders through feedback, 1:1s, and tight execution
Identify performance gaps early and help drive tough, fair decisions
3. Culture Building with Intent
Codify and scale our values in Europe — Champion Mindset, 10X Ambition, One Nitex
Reinforce ownership, urgency, and learning through rituals, onboarding, and storytelling
Help build systems that reward impact and filter out mediocrity
4. Talent Strategy with a Founder Mentality
Build our long-term talent pipeline across key cities
Partner with founders to define org structure, compensation, and team design
Drive headcount planning based on real business needs, not HR guesswork
What You Bring
3–6 years in people/talent roles inside fast-scaling European startups (Seed to Series B/C ideally)
Track record of owning hiring and performance in a lean, high-speed environment
Experience working directly with founders or executive teams
Fluent in scrappy execution — can source, write job posts, fix comp bands, and mediate team tension in the same week
Strong judgment on talent. You know what “great” looks like, and you fight to hire and keep it.
A builder’s mindset — you default to action and iteration, not HR policy manuals
Comfortable in intensity. We move fast, set high bars, and expect extreme ownership.
What You’ll Get
The chance to shape the People function from the ground up at one of Europe’s most ambitious fashion-tech companies
A mission-driven team that actually walks the talk — no vanity titles, no politics, just impact
High levels of trust, autonomy, and visibility with the CEO and leadership
Growth, learning, and high-stakes work — every day
Nitex is building the operating system for fashion’s next era. If you’re ready to build not just a team, but a culture — this is your stage.
