People & Culture Partner (m/f/d)

About Us
In 10 years of Brammibal’s Donuts we grew from a small cafe on Maybachufer in Berlin to a two-city operation with currently almost 200 employees.
At the moment we are operating 9 Shops and one Bakery Production in Berlin and 5 Shops and a Bakery Production in Hamburg with our Head Office located in Berlin.
Our mission remains simple - changing the perception of plant based food, one donut at a time.
