From sea to sky, from Norway to the world. At Elfly Group, we’re building the future of coastal mobility through the Noemi, the world’s first fully electric seaplane. Our versatile, 9 passenger electric seaplanes can also move up to one tonne of cargo - quietly and with no emissions. City harbor to city harbor? Easy. We’re amphibious too - requiring only short distances for takeoff and landing at traditional airports.

Elfly is a growing startup company with a multinational team of twentyfive employees. We're building the future of sustainable aviation, and we need someone who can help us scale up the team to match. As our People Manager, you'll play a key role in shaping the employee experience from recruitment to retention and from onboarding to culture. This is a hands-on role with real impact.

Main responsibilities:

Recruitment & Onboarding:

Partner with management to align recruitment with business goals, lead end-to-end hiring processes—from sourcing to offer—and design onboarding experiences that set new hires up for success.

People & Culture:
Drive initiatives that foster inclusion, engagement, and collaboration. Support leaders and team members with day-to-day HR needs, and help shape a healthy, purpose-driven work culture as the company grows.

Learning & Development:
Identify skill gaps and support both personal and professional growth through relevant training and development initiatives.

HR Operations & Compliance:
Maintain clear, compliant, and accessible HR policies and ensure the company meets all legal obligations related to contracts, working hours, and documentation.

Compensation & Payroll:
Manage employee benefits and run monthly payroll with accuracy and compliance, continuously looking for areas of improvement.

Your profile:

• Solid and broad HR Management experience, preferably in a scale-up and an international environment
• A hands-on, people-first approach
• Strong knowledge of labor law and HR best practices
• Structured, proactive and comfortable navigating change
• Excellent communication skills in English and Norwegian
• Caring, flexible and an overall awesome person :-)

We offer:

• Be part of a mission-driven team shaping the future of aviation
• Work in a dynamic, international environment with passionate people
• Take ownership and grow with the company from an early stage

You don’t need to have done it all, but you do need to be curious, resourceful, and excited to help a company grow from the inside. You care about people and structure. You navigate complexity with confidence. You stay grounded when priorities shift. And you’re not afraid to roll up your sleeves when needed.

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled.

The place of work is located at Torp Airport, Sandefjord situated by the southeast coastline, known for mild winters and vibrant summer life.

Elfly is an equal opportunity employer.
