The successful candidate should be comfortable operating in a dynamic and international environment, with the ability to move between strategic talent planning and hands-on execution.

What you will be responsible for:

• Partner closely with business leaders and hiring managers to understand business priorities, organizational direction, and evolving talent needs.
• Act as a trusted talent advisor by providing market insights, talent intelligence, and recommendations on hiring strategies.
• Develop proactive talent acquisition strategies rather than relying solely on inbound applications or active job searches.
• Conduct talent mapping and market research to identify relevant talent pools, competitors, and potential future candidates.
• Proactively identify, engage, and build relationships with high-caliber talent, including senior and niche professionals.
• Lead and support executive search and talent scouting efforts for critical and business-impacting roles.
• Work closely with new and existing business leaders to understand team-building requirements and help shape talent strategies as new functions or capabilities are developed.
• Manage the end-to-end recruitment process, including sourcing, screening, interviewing, stakeholder management, and offer coordination.
• Build strong relationships with candidates and provide a high-quality candidate experience throughout the hiring process.
• Develop and maintain long-term talent pipelines for key and recurring hiring needs.
• Partner with internal HR stakeholders and other functions to ensure hiring plans are aligned with broader organizational and workforce priorities.
• Leverage recruitment data, market insights, and talent trends to continuously improve hiring strategies and decision-making.
• Support the development and improvement of recruitment processes, tools, and talent intelligence capabilities as the organization continues to scale.

How you will stand out:

• Bachelor's degree in human resources, Business Administration, or related field.
• Proven experience in Talent Acquisition, Executive Search, Talent Intelligence, or a closely related talent-focused role.
• Experience recruiting across different levels of seniority, with the ability to engage and assess both mid-level and senior professionals.
• Strong talent mapping, market research, and proactive sourcing capabilities.
• Demonstrated experience in executive recruitment, talent scouting, or identifying hard-to-reach talent in competitive markets.
• Strong business partnering mindset with the ability to understand business priorities and translate them into effective talent strategies.
• Comfortable working closely with senior business leaders and influencing hiring decisions through market knowledge and talent insights.
• A strong understanding of technology-related talent and the ability to develop sufficient business and technical context to recruit effectively across technology and infrastructure-related functions.
• Highly proactive and resourceful, with the ability to operate effectively in an evolving and less structured environment.
• Strong stakeholder management, communication, and relationship-building skills.
• Adaptable and comfortable working in an international and cross-cultural environment.
• Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution.

What you will experience working with us:

• A highly international and collaborative working environment with exposure to diverse markets and talent.
• The opportunity to work closely with business leaders and play a meaningful role in shaping teams and organizational growth.
• A role with significant autonomy and ownership, where you will be encouraged to bring new ideas and challenge conventional approaches.
• Exposure to a broad range of talent and business challenges, from strategic talent mapping to hands-on recruitment execution.
