Senior Recruiter, Manufacturing

• You are a or professional-fluency German speaker with full professional fluency in English, and you're comfortable recruiting and building relationships in both languages.
• You bring several years of hands-on, full-cycle recruitment experience in a startup or scale-up, ideally spanning both technical and manufacturing/industrial hiring.
• You have experience recruiting internationally for niche and difficult-to-fill roles, and are used to working with very selective, technically demanding hiring teams.
• You have direct exposure to hiring for manufacturing, production, or industrial operations roles, and understand how that differs from hiring engineers or scientists.
• You thrive in fast-paced, high-stakes environments and take ownership seriously.
• You're deeply motivated by quality — your standards are high and you won't settle for less.
• You have exceptional sourcing instincts and know how to identify talent others might overlook.
• You think outside the box on sourcing and attraction, using LinkedIn as one tool among many — including events, talent communities, and conferences.
• You're organized, autonomous, and eager to improve the systems and processes that let a TA team scale.
• You communicate clearly, act decisively, and work well with demanding stakeholders.
• You're genuinely excited to help build something audacious from the ground up, and to help shape a growing TA team along the way.
