We help business owners get rid of the time consuming hassle of handling accounting and finance, while giving them access to key information that they can use to make better decisions.

Meanwhile, we’re helping accountants. By using Pennylane, rather than doing manual and repetitive tasks, they can spend more time advising and guiding their clients.

💻 Make ourselves known as a groundbreaking accounting and financial software for small businesses and their accountants

💰 Raise a total of €400 millions, including from Sequoia, the famous fund from the Silicon Valley who invested early in companies like Google, Facebook, Airbnb, Stripe, Paypal and much more...

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Grow from 7 cofounders to 1200+ happy Pennylaners : we’re now recognized as one of the greatest places to work in France (and also remotely), with a 4.6/5 rating on Glassdoor.

🌍 Build an international environment with more than 25 nationalities, with a strong remote-friendly culture, where 30% of the employees are already working from all parts of Europe

🤝 Earn the trust of thousands of customers and accounting firms and obtain outstanding ratings

🚀 Already more than 1 300,000 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and over 6,500 accounting firms use Pennylane in France!

Do you want to do more than fill vacancies? Do you want to help build a team and shape Pennylane’s growth in Germany?

Germany is our startup within the startup: We have been operating in the market for around a year, have approximately 40 employees, and have ambitious plans for 2027. That is where you come in. We are looking for an experienced Business Recruiter with drive, strong judgement and the desire to build something from the ground up.

You will join our German Recruiting team, which currently consists of a Team Lead and two freelance recruiters. In this permanent Individual Contributor position, you will own your scope and help shape how we attract and hire talent in Germany.

Your impact

• Own your scope: You will manage the full recruitment cycle, from briefing and proactive sourcing through to offer closing. Your main focus will be Sales, Customer and Partner Success, Onboarding and Deployment. Depending on business needs, you may also support Marketing, People and other support functions.

• Be a sparring partner: You understand the objectives of your Hiring Managers, bring valuable market insights and constructively challenge expectations. Together, you will make better hiring decisions.

• Build, test and improve: You will further develop our processes and interview structures, experiment with new approaches and turn good ideas into effective solutions.

• Combine speed with quality: You will prioritise your searches based on business needs and pipeline data, while ensuring that candidates feel well informed and valued throughout the process.

What you bring

• Ideally, 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with a clear specialisation in Business and Go-to-Market roles and experience recruiting for Sales and/or Success positions.

• You know how to proactively attract talent, manage recruitment processes independently and advise Hiring Managers, including when you do not immediately agree with them.

• You enjoy building rather than following an established playbook: You take ownership, turn ideas into action and stay effective when priorities change. Startup or scale-up experience is a plus.

• You work in a structured way, use data and recruiting tools effectively, and share your knowledge and learnings with the team.

• Fluent German and English: You are comfortable conducting interviews and working with stakeholders in both languages.

Why this role?

Because you will not simply take over an existing process. You will help grow our German team, with your own area of responsibility, close collaboration with the business and the opportunity to lead projects that have a lasting impact.

Do you want to roll up your sleeves, improve the way things are done and build something together? Then let’s talk.
