Our platform helps investors, owners, and asset managers make clearer capital allocation and decarbonisation decisions by translating complex regulatory, financial, and technical constraints into actionable renovation and investment plans.
Founded as an ETH Zurich spin-off, Optiml launched its first product in April 2024 and is now scaling across Europe and the US, with teams based in Zurich, London, and across Germany/the EU.
The company is backed by leading US and European investors, including Innovation Endeavors (the fund of former Google CEO Eric Schmidt), Planet A Ventures, KOMPAS, BitStone Capital, and The Bau Ventures.
About the role This isn't a traditional HR hire: we're looking for someone who treats People Ops like a product, building automated systems rather than running the same process manually every time.
You'll own the employee experience across CH/DE/UK/remote, working with our AI-native stack (Notion, Slack, AI agents/workflows) to let a lean team operate like a much bigger one.
Optiml runs hub-and-spoke, Zurich and London as physical hubs, with the team distributed across CH/DE/UK/EU.
Culture doesn't happen by default here; it has to be designed.
You'll own how onboarding runs, how offsites are structured, and how a distributed team stays connected, treating offsites as key culture-building moments.
We want a team that performs at a high level and genuinely enjoys working together.
You'll be the one building and protecting that combination as we scale.
You'll thrive here if you love building from first principles, are comfortable with ambiguity, and see culture as a system to design.
