Talent Partner

0TO9 is a fast-growing, profitable European fintech bank built on a unique model: in parallel with our banking operations, we act as a venture builder, launching entrepreneur-driven portfolio companies with capital, licenses, and infrastructure from day one, each a different banking product or vertical. We build alongside a team of founders, colleagues, and investors who bring some of the strongest track records in banking and fintech.

As Talent Partner, you'll own recruitment across 0TO9 and our portfolio companies in Germany, and be the go-to person for everything people-related once someone has signed. The clear majority of your time goes to talent acquisition: finding and closing the bankers, engineers, founders, and commercial profiles. The rest is a hands-on mix of HR, culture, and office - making sure new hires land well, the practical side runs smoothly, and 0TO9 is a place people want to join and stay. You'll work directly with founders and hiring managers across the group, with short decision paths and real ownership from day one.

What you'll do:

• Own end-to-end recruitment for 0TO9 and our portfolio companies in Germany - role scoping, sourcing, interviews, offer, and close. Headhunting is a core part of the job; many of our best hires never applied.
• Partner with hiring managers on candidate profiles, process, and market insight.
• Run onboarding for new hires in Hailey - contracts, equipment, accounts, and a first week that sets the right tone.
• Handle employment contracts, laptops and equipment, and be the first point of contact for payroll and payroll-related questions.
• Manage our office and suppliers, plan team events, and develop our employee benefits.
• Drive employer branding - how we show up on LinkedIn, at events, and in the market.

You're a recruiter at heart - you enjoy the hunt, you're comfortable reaching out to people who aren't looking, and you can read both a hiring manager and a candidate. At the same time, you don't mind the operational side of people work: contracts, payroll questions, and a well-run office are part of what makes a company good to work at, and you take pride in getting them right. We'd expect you to bring:

• at least 3+ years of recruitment experience, in-house, agency, or executive search - ideally within finance, fintech, or tech.
• Proven headhunting and sourcing skills; you've filled hard roles, not just processed inbound.
• Experience with, or a strong interest in, HR operations: onboarding, employment contracts, payroll processes, and the basics of German employment law.
• A structured, hands-on way of working - you keep many things moving at once without dropping the ball.
• A genuine interest in culture and employer branding.
• Fluency in German and English.

• Be part of building the leading fintech bank & venture builder.
• A dynamic, entrepreneurial and international environment.
• Beautiful office in the heart of Berlin.
• Strong opportunities for growth and development.
