Responsibilities
• Own the Engineering hiring engine end to end: understand and collaborate on workforce plans, clarify hiring priorities, translate them into hiring strategies, and make sure the team is set up to deliver against business needs. • Directly manage a team of TA Partners: full ownership of their performance, development, clear direction and priorities, coaching on search strategy and stakeholder management, and unblocking execution where needed. • Drive hiring outcomes across technical domains and hubs: take accountability for progress, quality, and delivery across Engineering hiring in our main hubs Barcelona, London and Kyiv, while personally owning a couple of complex and high-impact searches. • Build and optimize hiring processes: identify what slows us down, where quality drops, or where ownership is unclear - then improve the process so we can hire top talent in the most effective way. • Track progress through data: run a strong weekly hiring rhythm, using funnel data, pipeline quality, pass-through rates, time in stage, sourcing performance, and stakeholder feedback to understand what's working and what needs to change. • Lead calibration at scale: align a large and growing group of engineering interviewers and hiring managers on a consistent hiring bar, using structured calibration sessions, clear documentation, and ongoing reinforcement. • Flag risks early and solve them fast: spot blockers before they become bigger issues, bring clear recommendations, and work with TA, Engineering, and cross-functional partners to keep hiring moving. • Lead top-of-funnel strategy for Engineering: shape sourcing, talent mapping, talent intelligence, and employer branding in partnership with Marketing and Employer Brand. Build consistent, high-quality pipelines for priority roles.
