Our growth is accelerating, and the bar keeps rising. To meet it, we’re hiring senior leaders across the company who will shape what comes next. We’re looking for a Leadership Recruiter to help us find them.

This is not your typical talent role. You won’t just be filling senior positions. You’ll help define what great leadership looks like at TravelPerk. You’ll partner directly with executives and VPs, leading end-to-end searches for leaders at Head of level and above across Product, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, People and more.

If you love building high-trust partnerships, running thoughtful search processes and influencing at the most senior levels of a business, this role is for you. You’ll join a sharp, collaborative Talent team that cares about quality, consistency and doing hiring the right way.

Lead Head of level and above hiring across the business

You’ll own the full hiring process for senior roles, from role scoping and market mapping through to offer. You’ll act as a trusted advisor to VPs and executives, bringing clarity and structure to every search.

Drive proactive sourcing and pipeline building

You’ll lead hands-on search activity, running structured sourcing strategies to identify and engage outstanding leadership talent across Europe and the US.

Run outstanding hiring processes

You’ll lead every stage of the search with attention and care. From briefing hiring teams and shaping interviews to managing communications and closing offers, you’ll ensure every process is run to a high standard.

Act as a partner to the business

You’ll work closely with our Talent, People and Reward teams to align on hiring priorities, support planning conversations and advise on compensation, structure and search approach.

Help scale senior hiring at TravelPerk

You’ll play a central role in improving how we hire at leadership level, helping the team evolve tools, processes and ways of working as we grow.

What You Will Bring
