Talent Acquisition Partner, PDEGO & Technology

UK & Ireland, United Kingdom, London

At Sony Music Entertainment, we fuel the creative journey. We’ve played a pioneering role in music history, from the first‑ever music label to the invention of the flat disc record. We’ve nurtured some of music’s most iconic artists and produced some of the most influential recordings of all time.

Today, we work in more than 70 countries, supporting a diverse roster of international superstars, developing and independent artists, and visionary creators. From our position at the intersection of music, entertainment, and technology, we bring imagination and expertise to the newest products and platforms, embrace new business models, employ breakthrough tools, and provide powerful insights that help our artists push creative boundaries and reach new audiences. In everything we do, we’re committed to artistic integrity, transparency, and entrepreneurship.

Sony Music Entertainment is a member of the Sony family of global companies.

Sony Music’s Product, Design, Engineering, and Global Operations (PDEGO) division builds the tools, platforms, and experiences that empower artists, labels, and partners around the world. Our teams span Product, Design, Engineering, Program Management and Global Operations – all working together to reimagine how music is created, distributed, and experienced globally with best‑in‑class software product solutions.

As part of our global Talent Acquisition team, you’ll help shape the future of music technology by connecting world‑class talent to our mission.

The Role

We’re looking for a Technical Talent Acquisition Partner to join our London‑based team and support hiring across Product, Design, and Engineering functions within PDEGO. You’ll play a critical role in identifying, engaging, and hiring exceptional talent across the UK and EMEA while providing an outstanding experience for both candidates and hiring teams.

This role is ideal for someone who is equal parts relationship‑builder and strategist – someone who can think creatively about talent markets, move with pace, and deliver data‑informed insights that fuel hiring excellence across our global tech organization.

What you'll do:

• Lead full‑cycle talent acquisition and recruitment for product, design, and engineering roles across PDEGO’s international teams (London, Tallinn & Madrid) – from discovery and sourcing through offer and close.
• Partner with hiring managers and senior leaders to design hiring strategies, execute scheduling interview structures, and elevate evaluation processes that align to business goals.
• Build and nurture diverse talent pipelines through proactive sourcing and community engagement.
• Deliver an exceptional candidate experience through every stage of the hiring journey.
• Use data and reporting tools to analyze funnel performance, forecast needs, and influence hiring decisions with your hiring leaders.
• Collaborate with PX (People Experience), L&D, and DE&I partners to ensure equitable and scalable recruiting practices.
• Represent Sony Music PDEGO at events, conferences, and online communities to strengthen our employer brand.

Who you are:

At Sony Music, our shared values guide everything we do. You’ll thrive in this role if you:

• Fuel Excellence: You bring at least 4‑6 years of end‑to‑end technical recruiting and talent acquisition experience across Product, Design, and Engineering functions, balancing precision, bringing forward top technical talent in international markets, speed, and stakeholder alignment. You use data to drive results and continuously improve.
• Creator First: You champion creativity – from how you source and story‑tell to how you approach each search. You’re passionate about building technical teams that help artists and creators thrive.
• Elevate Each Other: You build trust and inclusivity through collaboration, communication, and empathy: with candidates, hiring teams, and peers across time zones.
• Imagine More: You approach challenges with curiosity, innovation, and optimism; always looking for new ways to solve complex hiring needs.
• Act Responsibly: You take ownership of your work and decisions, upholding fairness, transparency, and integrity in every interaction.

Bonus Points

• Prior experience partnering directly with senior and executive leadership and experience in innovating and elevating technical recruiting processes.

What we give you:

• A competitive salary and bonus scheme.
• Free Vinyls, Gig Tickets, Live Shows within our office, and the ability to skip the queue for major UK festivals.
• An office environment built around success (Free Breathwork, Yoga, Pilates Classes), a monthly craft class (Perfume making, Pottery, Sushi rolling), Numerous pub quizzes, album launches, and single launches.
