About the Team

You will be part of a fun, collaborative, and hard-working international HR team that cares deeply about the business and about one another. We move quickly, solve problems together, and believe that strong outcomes come from shared ownership, open communication, and not leaving anyone behind.

This is a team where collaboration matters as much as execution. We value people who bring energy, ideas, accountability, and heart to work. You will be trusted to lead with independence, but you will not be expected to do it alone. The team works together, supports each other through complexity, and celebrates progress along the way.

This role is designed for a proven Talent Acquisition leader who has led recruiters, influenced senior stakeholders, and is ready to operate with both an enterprise-level perspective and hands-on ownership.
