Our Talent Acquisition Team is on a mission to seek out and build a talented team by finding new GetYourGuide stars who will contribute to our international growth. While looking for top talent, we have a candidate-centric approach to ensure a best-in-class recruitment experience for all our candidates and hiring managers.

We are looking for a passionate, people-focused and strategic Senior Business Recruiting Lead to join our People team and lead a team of 9: experienced Business Recruiters, Talent Operations Specialists and Sourcers.

This is a high-impact role where you’ll guide, mentor and scale a team that plays a critical part in shaping our future.

Your mission

• Lead and develop a team of 9 Business Recruiters, Talent Operations Specialists, and Sourcers—setting clear goals and success metrics, ensuring delivery against hiring targets, managing performance, and driving productivity, operational excellence, and continuous improvement across the function.

• Partner and build strong relationships with senior stakeholders (up to C Level) to define hiring priorities and deliver high-quality hires across all Business functions, including Marketing, Sales, Supply, Finance, Operations, Legal and People.

• You have 2+ years of people leadership experience, with a proven track record of developing and steering teams to deliver against core goals.

• You’re data‑savvy and can grasp various tools to make smart, strategic decisions

• You have strong communication skills, with the ability to influence and consult senior stakeholders up to C‑level

• You’re happy to get hands‑on when needed, especially when it comes to senior or strategic hires

• You’re not afraid of the operational side of things — you stay on top of admin tasks like position management and you’re always looking for ways to improve processes

• You work well in a fast-changing, ambiguous environment and keep things moving forward

• You are a natural collaborator — whether it’s with the People team or business leaders, you bring others along and build trust across the board

Extras that give you an edge

• You’re energized by AI: you make time to experiment, build intuition through hands‑on trials, and translate discoveries into practical improvements in how you work
