Talent Acquisition Manager

Location: Berlin hybrid (onsite presence once a week minimum)

Reports to: Head of People

Start: As soon as possible

We are partnering with a PE backed company (200 employees based in USA and Europe) in the software space. The organization values speed, quality, and a strong people-centric culture. We hire with intent and aim to build teams that can innovate and scale sustainably.

We are looking for a Talent Acquisition Manager based in the Berlin region, who takes ownership of end-to-end recruitment and acts as a strategic partner to hiring managers and senior leaders. You will shape how we attract, assess, and hire top talent across functions—especially for high-impact roles where experience matters.

This is not a transactional recruiter role. You will work at eye level with hiring managers and C-Suite stakeholders
, design and implement effective hiring processes, and contribute to broader talent strategy including compensation benchmarking and support on career leveling frameworks.

• Lead full-cycle recruitment (sourcing, screening, interviewing, offer/closing) with speed and quality across technical and commercial roles based in USA and Germany mainly
• Build strong relationships with hiring managers and senior leaders; act as a trusted advisor on hiring strategy and talent market insights
• Develop and maintain salary benchmarking and competitive compensation guidance for the German and US market
• Support and refine career leveling frameworks and role definitions to improve consistency and transparency across teams
• Establish and track recruiting KPIs; optimize workflow, tools, and candidate experience
• Partner with People Operations to strengthen employer brand and candidate pipelines

• 4+ years recruiting experience, ideally including international B2B technology environments
• Confident and effective communicator with leaders at all levels (from hiring managers to executives) coming from different (remote) locations and cultural backgrounds
• Demonstrated ability to hire quickly without sacrificing quality or candidate experience
• Strong sense of ownership and ability to influence process improvements
• Comfortable setting salary benchmarks and guiding compensation discussions
• Fluent in English, German beneficial

This is a pivotal hiring role at a company committed to scaling deliberately. You will have real influence over people practices and recruiting outcomes—far beyond the typical “order taker” model.

Competitive package aligned with market and experience.

Opportunity to shape TA processes from the ground up.
