Talent Acquisition Specialist - Cherry Ventures / Berlin (onsite)

Berlin

Help us scale Cherry Ventures and our portfolio by finding and hiring the best talent across Europe.

Cherry Ventures is a leading early-stage venture capital firm with offices in Berlin, London, and Stockholm. We back bold entrepreneurs from day zero and actively support them in building world-class teams. To strengthen our own operations and better serve our founders, we are looking for a Talent Acquisition Specialist to join our Berlin office.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys end-to-end recruiting and is happy to take on coordination responsibilities when needed. Working closely with our Executive Director of Talent, you will play a key role in helping our portfolio companies build the best teams across Europe while ensuring a seamless candidate experience.

What you’ll do

• Drive full-cycle recruitment for roles at Cherry and across our portfolio – from sourcing and outreach to interviews, offers, and closing.
• Source top talent proactively through LinkedIn, networks, and market research, with a focus on senior and hard-to-fill roles.
• Support portfolio founders in building high-performing teams by driving sourcing and recruiting efforts for critical hires.
• Leverage AI and automation tools to boost sourcing efficiency, candidate engagement, and pipeline management.
• Manage coordination tasks such as scheduling, candidate communication, and process tracking to ensure a seamless experience for candidates and hiring teams.
• Contribute to talent projects such as building sourcing playbooks, improving candidate experience, and leveraging data to refine our approach.

What we’re looking for

• 3 - 4 years of experience in sourcing, recruiting, or talent acquisition (agency, in-house, or startup background welcome).
• Proven ability to run searches end-to-end while also rolling up your sleeves on coordination tasks.
• Strong LinkedIn and sourcing skills; comfortable with direct outreach and talent mapping.
• Mastery of AI recruitment tools is a must - you know how to harness them to supercharge sourcing and hiring outcomes.
• High proficiency in Greenhouse ATS (or equivalent systems) - you can manage pipelines and processes with ease.
• Experience hiring for startups or VC-backed companies - you understand the pace, ambiguity, and profile of talent these environments demand.
• Very technical role expertise highly appreciated - you can confidently approach and engage engineering, product, and data candidates.
• Excellent organization and communication skills; you’re structured and detail-oriented.
• A collaborative mindset and the ability to build trust with candidates and colleagues.
• International outlook and comfort working in a diverse, fast-paced environment.

What we offer

• A front-row seat to the European startup and VC ecosystem.
• The chance to shape talent operations at Cherry and directly support ambitious founders in building their teams.
• Competitive compensation and benefits.
• A highly international, entrepreneurial, and collaborative team culture.
• An on-site role in our Berlin office.

Cherry Ventures is an early-stage VC firm with offices in Berlin, London, and Stockholm. We are a team of former founders and operators, investing across Europe and committed to being the active ingredient behind founders’ growth. We’ve backed more than 120 companies across Europe - including Flix, Auto1, Amboss, Forto, Numa, Moss, and Tacto - and support them not just with capital, but with recruiting, coaching, and operational resources. In 2025, we raised a $500M fund, split between early-stage investments and follow-on capital.
