Job Description:

Role
We are looking for a Senior Recruiter to join our People & Culture (Talent Acquisition) team in Germany. This role will predominantly focus on hiring senior sales (Account Execs, Sales Managers, RVPs etc) across the DACH region
You’ll be a hands-on full lifecycle recruiter dedicated to building high-calibre pipelines for our EMEA organization. Your primary focus is proactive, high-velocity sourcing of qualified, diverse candidates and driving end-to-end hiring excellence.
What you’ll do (Role Expectations)
  • Own full-cycle recruiting with business leaders across EMEA, managing the process from intake and calibration to the final close
  • Lead with sourcing by building net-new pipelines via LinkedIn Recruiter, talent maps, and targeted campaigns to maintain 2–3x pipeline coverage per role
  • Partner directly with VPs, Directors and Managers to forecast demand, define profiles, calibrate market compensation, and advise on process trade-offs
  • Drive structured, efficient hiring cycles by managing scorecards, interview plans, and data hygiene to ensure a high-quality candidate experience
  • Deliver weekly updates on pipeline health and status of openings, diagnosing and fixing bottlenecks to maintain hiring momentum
Who You Are (Success Profile)
  • You thrive in ambiguity. You're comfortable building the path as you walk it. You thrive in a dynamic environment, seeing ambiguity not as a hindrance, but as the raw material to build something meaningful.
  • You act like an owner. Your passion for the mission fuels your bias for action. You operate with integrity because you genuinely care about the outcome. True ownership involves leveraging dynamic range: the ability to navigate seamlessly between high-level strategy and hands-on execution.
  • You are a problem-solver. You love running towards the challenges because you are laser-focused on finding the solution, knowing that solving the hard problems delivers the biggest impact.
  • You are a high-trust collaborator. You are ambitious for the team, not just yourself. You embrace our challenge culture by giving and receiving ongoing feedback—knowing that candour delivered with clarity and respect is the truest form of teamwork and the fastest way to earn trust.
  • You are a learner. You have a true growth mindset and are obsessed with your own development, actively seeking feedback to become a better partner and a stronger teammate. You love what you do and you do it with purpose.
What We’re Looking for (Minimum Qualifications)
  • Foundational understanding of AI/ML technologies and experience leveraging, securing, or positioning AI-driven solutions to optimize outcomes within your functional domain
  • 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience in B2B SaaS, with a good understanding of cybersecurity, networking and cloud technologies and excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Proven success sourcing and converting passive candidates using LinkedIn Recruiter and modern talent discovery tools
  • Track record of meeting or exceeding goals for quality, time-to-fill, and offer acceptance goals while managing 8–12 concurrent searches
  • Proficiency in structured interview techniques, compensation fundamentals, and complex offer negotiations
What Will Make You Stand Out (Preferred Qualifications)
  • Experience hiring within the cybersecurity or networking industries across a variety of disciplines - engineering, customer success and G&A
  • Hands-on experience with sourcing enhancers like Gem or SeekOut, talent intelligence, and detailed market mapping
  • Demonstrated impact on diversity sourcing initiatives and the calibration of interview teams to drive inclusive hiring
  • Built hiring playbooks, dashboards, or programs for GTM scale-ups.
  • Experience working remotely as only TA person on the ground in region
  • Have worked for high growth US tech company
