Your mission

• Own Talent Acquisition end-to-end – from sourcing and interviews to offer, across commercial, finance, trading and tech roles.
• Take what's already running and make it scale – our interview process, assessment step and workflows exist; you keep refining them as we grow.
• Own sourcing and channel strategy – find people before they're looking, not just when a req opens.
• Partner with hiring managers on role definition and process – structured interviews, clear decision-making, no gut-feeling hires.
• Build out KPI tracking – so we know what's actually working in our hiring, not just how many CVs came in.
• Work with Marketing on employer branding that reflects who we really are, not generic startup copy.
• Work with Marietta, our People Lead, on the bigger strategic calls – leveling changes, new tools, process design – with direct sparring from the Talent Partner who built our current process.

• Proven recruiting track record in tech-driven, fast-paced environments – across a broad range of roles, not just one function.
• You build roadmaps, not just job ads – you translate headcount plans into prioritized action yourself.
• Experience with structured interviews and assessment tools – you care about reducing bias, not just filling seats fast.
• You challenge hiring managers when needed – on role definition, on process, on decisions – collaboratively, not combatively.
• Candidate experience is a craft to you, not a checkbox you tick at the end.
• Direct communicator – you raise issues, push back when something's off, and follow through.
• Fluent in German and English (C1 each) – working language is English, but you navigate German stakeholders just as confidently.

• People at the Core: Clear structures, democratic decisions, and a feedback culture where your voice counts.
• Shape the Future: Contribute to the energy transition by working on sustainable energy solutions in a growing market environment.
• Connecting & Co-Creating: Strategy off-sites and onsite weeks for real collaboration and shared ideas.
• Work Your Way: Home office and flexible hours – you know what works best for you and your team.
• Good Vibes: Yoga, shared lunches, after-work fun – we keep the energy up, even when it's busy.
• Body & Mind: Urban Sports Club membership, wellbeing check-ins, and mental health support – your energy matters.
• New Office: 10th-floor office with rooftop terrace, canteen, great views, ergonomic desks, hardware of your choice, and a pet-friendly environment.
• Sustainable Extras: Deutschlandticket, FutureBens, and more – supporting your mobility and future.
