Are you a German-speaking Talent Acquisition leader who enjoys building strategy whilst remaining hands-on with recruitment delivery?
We're partnering with a fast-growing international organisation seeking a Global Talent Acquisition Lead to shape, modernise and scale its global hiring function.
This is a unique opportunity to join a business at an exciting stage of growth and play a pivotal role in how talent is attracted, hired and retained across multiple international markets.
This role would suit someone who thrives in a high-growth environment, enjoys creating structure from the ground up, and is equally comfortable influencing senior stakeholders as they are directly sourcing hard-to-find talent.
The Opportunity
Reporting to the Global Chief People Officer, you will take ownership of Talent Acquisition across the organisation, balancing strategic transformation projects with day-to-day recruitment delivery.
You'll review and enhance current recruitment practices, lead the implementation of a new ATS, establish scalable hiring processes, and partner with leaders globally to ensure the business can attract exceptional talent as it continues to grow.
This is not a role where you'll simply manage a team from afar. We're looking for someone who enjoys being close to the recruitment process and leading from the front.
Key Responsibilities
- Talent Acquisition Strategy
- Develop and deliver a global Talent Acquisition strategy aligned to ambitious growth plans.
- Build strong relationships with senior stakeholders across multiple countries and business functions.
- Establish consistent hiring frameworks, governance and recruitment best practice.
- Develop employer branding and attraction strategies to strengthen market presence.
- Introduce workforce planning, talent mapping and succession planning methodologies.
- Recruitment Delivery
- Manage end-to-end recruitment across corporate, technical and specialist disciplines.
- Partner with hiring managers to define recruitment strategies and hiring requirements.
- Directly source and engage talent through Linked In, networking and international talent pools.
- Support hiring activity across multiple regions and international markets.
- Deliver an exceptional candidate experience throughout the recruitment lifecycle.
- Systems & Process Improvement
- Lead the selection and implementation of a new Applicant Tracking System (ATS).
- Review and optimise recruitment processes, technology and reporting capabilities.
- Develop meaningful recruitment metrics and dashboards.
- Drive continuous improvement across attraction, assessment, selection and onboarding.
- Ensure recruitment processes remain compliant across multiple jurisdictions.
About You
We're looking for a commercially minded Talent Acquisition professional who combines strategic capability with a genuine passion for recruitment delivery.
You'll ideally bring
- Fluent German and English language skills.
- Significant Talent Acquisition experience within international and multi-site organisations.
- Experience recruiting across multiple regions, including Europe and wider global markets.
- A proven track record of building, transforming or scaling Talent Acquisition functions.
- Experience implementing ATS and recruitment technology solutions.
- Strong direct sourcing and executive search capability.
- Experience working within both large corporate environments and fast-paced growth businesses.
- Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills.
- Strong data, reporting and workforce planning capability.
- A hands-on approach and willingness to personally lead recruitment activity.
Why Apply?
This is a rare opportunity to build a global Talent Acquisition function whilst remaining close to the recruitment activity that drives business success.
You'll be given the autonomy to challenge existing approaches, introduce new ideas, implement meaningful change and make a lasting impact on a growing international organisation.
