Who you are

We believe you have a genuine interest in both strategic and operational Talent Acquisition.

Furthermore, we believe that people around you would describe you as follows:

- Several years of leadership experience in different managerial roles and exposure working with executive teams or similar (roles with direct reports, budget responsibility, and a passion for developing, motivating, and coaching team members).
- Experience working with candidate experience and relevant KPIs and a constant curiosity to find and implement new and improved ways of working but at the same time protect what is working well.
