Technical Sourcer - Product & Design

Deliveroo is hiring a Technical Sourcer to play a key role in how we find and engage world‑class Product and Design talent across our growing global organisation. This is a high‑impact role, with a clear mandate to drive pipeline quality, candidate engagement, and strategic sourcing excellence across multiple brands and regions. You'll partner closely with our recruiters and senior hiring managers, bringing creativity, rigour, and market insight to some of our most critical and complex searches. This is not a reactive role – it's an opportunity to build proactive pipelines, shape sourcing strategy, and help define how Deliveroo identifies and attracts exceptional Product and Design talent globally.

Role scope:

• Own proactive sourcing for Product Management and Design roles across multiple international regions in Europe
• Build and maintain deep, high‑quality talent pipelines for current and future hiring needs
• Partner closely with recruiters and hiring managers to understand role requirements and calibrate effectively
• Design and execute inclusive, creative sourcing strategies that reach diverse talent pools
• Drive clarity and consistency in how we identify and engage top talent

Key responsibilities:

• Sourcing strategy & pipeline development
  • Develop and execute targeted sourcing strategies for Product and Design roles across all levels
  • Build sustainable, diverse talent pipelines that anticipate hiring needs rather than just reacting to them
  • Use market mapping, competitive intelligence, and talent insights to inform where and how we source
• Candidate engagement & experience
  • Craft compelling, personalised outreach that reflects Deliveroo's mission and employer brand
  • Build genuine relationships with passive candidates over time, not just when a role is open
  • Champion a high‑quality candidate experience from first contact through to handover
• Stakeholder partnership
  • Act as a trusted sourcing partner to recruiters and hiring managers, bringing market insight and honest calibration
  • Proactively share pipeline health, market feedback, and competitive intelligence with the wider team
  • Challenge constructively when role requirements or expectations need to be reset
• Data & insight
  • Track and report on sourcing funnel metrics to identify what's working and where to improve
  • Use data to guide outreach strategy, channel selection, and pipeline prioritisation
  • Translate sourcing insight into practical recommendations for the recruiting team
• Inclusion & hiring quality
  • Embed DEI principles into every stage of sourcing – from where we look to how we engage
  • Actively seek out underrepresented talent and challenge sourcing approaches that reinforce bias

What you'll bring:

• 3‑5+ years of sourcing or recruiting experience, with a focus on Product Management and/or Design roles in a global technology company
• Proven ability to build high‑quality pipelines for senior and specialist roles through proactive, creative sourcing
• Strong Boolean and advanced search skills across LinkedIn and other relevant platforms
• Experience sourcing across multiple geographies, with an understanding of regional talent market nuances
• Skilled at crafting personalised, compelling outreach that converts passive candidates
• Comfortable using data to measure effectiveness and continuously improve your approach
• Excellent communicator, able to build trust quickly with candidates, recruiters, and hiring managers

You'll thrive if you…

• Love the craft of finding people who aren't looking
• Are curious about product and design communities, trends, and where great talent gathers
• Stay organised and calm when managing multiple pipelines simultaneously
• Care deeply about candidate experience and the impression you leave, regardless of outcome
