Job description

About Intergrid

Intergrid is a Helsinki-based technology company offering an Autopilot for industrial energy operators.

Economics, emissions and resilience are pushing industrials to adopt hybrid energy systems that can't be effectively run manually with traditional tooling. More intelligent, integrated and autonomous energy operations are needed to lower costs and emissions, reduce manual operator workload and accelerate the whole energy transition by making industrial electrification easier and more economical.

Intergrid has emerged as the category leader in autonomous industrial energy operations, with:

• 100+ industrial sites across Europe already trusting us
• €20M+ raised from top investors in Finland and Silicon Valley
• A high-performing 40+ person team from different nationalities and backgrounds at our vibrant Helsinki office

We're an office-first team that values active collaboration and getting to know one another beyond our Zoom profiles.

About the role

We're hiring a full‑time Talent Partner to join our fast‑growing team in Helsinki.

We are evolving from a start‑up into a technology scale‑up that defines a new category across Europe. To keep the quality of every hire high as we grow, we need one person to take clear ownership of our Talent engine. This role goes beyond filling requisitions: you’ll work side by side with our business leads and set the standard for how we bring top talent into Intergrid.

As our first dedicated Talent hire, you'll join a two-person People team, reporting to the People Lead.

Key responsibilities

• Own hiring end-to-end: Across engineering, commercial, and operations roles, from role scoping to closing. You run the searches yourself and own the outcome, including the quality bar.
• Partner with business leads: Identify capability needs, recognize top talent profiles, and set hiring priorities as we scale.
• Own sourcing and build talent pipelines: Map the market, source and reach out hands‑on, sell Intergrid to people who aren't looking, and close the candidates we want.
• Build our Talent Flow: Create interview structures, funnel metrics, and hiring data that make decisions evidence‑based and scalable as we grow.
• Level up our hiring teams: Improve interview design and calibration so assessment quality doesn't depend on who's in the room.
• Build our employer brand in Europe: Create content, run events, and deliver an end‑to‑end experience that candidates want to talk about.

Who we are looking for

• High‑agency builder: You create structure where none exists, want to own things end‑to‑end, and are fine with priorities shifting as we grow.
• Eye for talent: You recognise and can attract high‑potential people, even when no template or job title tells you what good looks like.
• Business acumen: You understand how tech and commercial teams work, earn trust quickly, and push back when the data says otherwise.
• Structured and analytical: You separate signal from noise quickly, see the problem before someone points it out, and base talent decisions on data.
• AI‑native: You use modern AI tools to accelerate your work.
• Clear communicator: Excellent written and verbal communication in English with the ability to tailor communication to your audience.
• Mission‑driven: You care about accelerating the energy transition in the real world, helping industrials operate hybrid energy systems through autonomous control.

We also value if you have

• Full‑cycle hiring experience across technical, commercial, or operations roles.
• Experience from a fast‑growing startup or scale‑up environment.
• Familiarity with the wider European tech talent market.

What we offer

• Values‑driven culture: Our culture is built on kindness, curiosity and win‑win‑win outcomes for customers, planet and our success.
• High agency: You'll get real ownership, autonomy and room to grow, with meaningful impact from day one.
• Rapid growth journey: Grow with a technology company that is scaling fast across Europe.
• Competitive salary & stock options: Reflecting your experience and commitment to our shared success.
• Thrive in our Helsinki HQ: Vibrant, supportive, and inclusive office‑first environment

Our hiring process will typically follow these steps:

First Interview (60 min)

Get to know each other, learn about your motivation and previous experience, together with People Lead. Discussion about the role and your potential fit to Intergrid, including our mission, vision, and ways of working. You are more than welcome to visit our office.

In‑depth interview + Case (120 min)

Show off your skills in a role‑specific case assignment at our office. We’ll also use this session to explore your growth potential and focus on you beyond your CV: what drives you and what experiences have shaped you.

Founder interview (60 min)

Meet our founders and dive into our strategy, culture, and future plans. Ask all your toughest questions.

'Work with us' afternoon (4 hours)

We invite you to work with the Intergrid team for a half day to ensure our ways of working align with your aspirations. It is a significant commitment on both sides; thus, we only move to this stage if we really want to work with you. It is designed to help both sides make the right decision — and to give you a transparent opportunity to decide on a new career chapter. You will receive compensation for this.
