About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the end-to-end talent technology stack — leading vendor strategy, managing relationships, making build vs. buy decisions, and ensuring tools are configured, integrated, and used to their full potential.
Identify, design and drive org-wide hiring programmes and frameworks — from interview evaluation systems, to our headcount planning solution and multi-market hiring playbooks.
Lead and develop a team of Talent Operators and Coordinators, setting direction, managing priorities, and creating the conditions for the team to operate at pace without sacrificing quality or candidate experience.
Own the talent data strategy — defining what we measure, building dashboards and reports that surface what matters, and making sure the whole team is working from the same picture.
Act as the strategic interface between Talent and cross-functional partners across People, Finance, Legal, and Engineering, managing complex stakeholder relationships and unblocking hiring at every level.
Identify and eliminate operational drag — building durable SOPs, designing scalable processes, and deploying automation (n8n, AI tooling, custom integrations) wherever it meaningfully reduces friction.
Own core functional processes such as headcount planning.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Proven experience leading talent operations or other operational function at a high-growth technology company, ideally through a period of significant scale.
Strong strategic thinking — you can zoom out to design a programme across ten markets and zoom back in to make a tactical call on an ATS configuration the same day.
Deep experience owning or significantly influencing a recruiting tech stack; you understand how ATS pipelines, HRIS integrations, and data flows connect, and you can drive decisions across all of them.
Track record building and leading teams — you know how to set direction clearly, develop people, and hold a high bar without micromanaging.
Exceptional stakeholder management — you've worked closely with senior cross-functional leaders and know how to move fast without leaving people behind.
A builder's instinct — you default to systemic solutions over one-off fixes, and you're comfortable driving automation and tooling decisions hands-on, not just in concept.
Nice to have: Experience designing and running multi-market or international hiring programmes.
Comfort with workflow automation tools (n8n, Zapier, or similar) or building lightweight technical solutions yourself.
Prior experience working in or alongside a fast-scaling AI or deep tech company.
