Talent Acquisition Lead

About This Role

Company: We are a global holding company acquiring and operating B2B software companies in niche markets worldwide. Backed by leading global investors, we partner with ambitious "challengers" and help them evolve into market leaders through long-term, hands-on support.

Role: We're hiring a Talent Acquisition Lead (Remote) to own and evolve our recruiting function. You'll be both a world-class recruiter and a team manager, responsible for directly hiring high-caliber executives and specialists across the holding and portfolio companies, while leading our team of talent sourcers. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role reporting directly to a Co-Founder.

You will drive full-cycle recruiting across functions (especially Engineering, M&A, Integrations, Sales, and Product) and act as a trusted advisor to hiring managers & Co-Founders.

Roles & Responsibilities

• End-to-end recruiting: Own the full recruitment cycle for all roles across our portfolio, including management-level, technical, and commercial positions.
• Team leadership: Manage and coach recruiting sourcers, ensuring performance, motivation, and growth.
• Talent strategy: Design and execute sourcing and closing strategies to attract top 1% talent globally.
• Stakeholder partnership: Collaborate with hiring managers, GMs, and co-founders to align on hiring plans and role definition.
• Process excellence: Optimise our recruitment operations, scorecards, outreach messaging, and candidate experience.
• AI-augmented operations: Use AI tooling to reduce operational friction across the recruiting workflow. We already run AI-generated candidate summaries from screening transcripts, AI-assisted sourcing and outbound, and a daily Gmail/Slack/Calendar priority brief. You're expected to extend this, not start from scratch, and to set the bar for how the sourcing team uses AI day-to-day.
• Market intelligence: Act as a talent market expert. Know who to poach, from where, and how to land them.
• Brand & candidate experience: Ensure every candidate leaves with a world-class experience, whether hired or not.

Requirements

• Experience: 5+ years in fast-paced environments (startups, VCs, or top-tier recruiting firms).
• Track record: Demonstrated ability to source and close A+ talent, including exec-level candidates.
• People skills: Natural relationship builder with top-tier written and verbal communication.
• AI fluency: Active, daily user of frontier AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Granola, or similar) in your current workflow. Comfortable iterating on prompts and lightweight automations to take friction out of recruiting ops.
• Drive: Ambitious, curious, coachable, outcome-oriented.
• Flair: Creative thinker, relentless executor, builds teams others envy.
• Location: Remote.
