Senior Talent Partner

Almetra is scaling across Commercial and Engineering verticals and looking for a Senior Talent Partner to own end-to-end hiring across a vertical while also acting as a strategic Business Partner to the business leaders you support. You won't just fill roles; you'll shape how we hire, coach the managers doing the hiring, and build the infrastructure that lets us scale without breaking.

What you'll do

• Full-cycle recruiting across your verticals, from intake to offer negotiation
• Sourcing strategy and channel performance across job boards, agencies, and direct pipelines
• Hiring manager coaching: intake quality, structured interviewing, decision-making calibration
• Process health: identify bottlenecks, flag risks early, and drive continuous improvement
• Market intelligence: benchmark compensation, map talent pools, and advise on hiring strategy
• HRBP partnership with your vertical leads on org design, headcount planning, and people topics as we grow
• Self-managed prioritisation across competing roles and deadlines, with clear escalation when needed

What you'll need

• 5+ years in in-house talent roles, ideally at a scaling startup or deep-tech company
• Track record closing senior and technical hires (engineering, ML, commercial, or operations)
• Comfortable running difficult conversations: pushback on unrealistic briefs, candidate counteroffers, or process breakdowns
• Sharp process thinking, you notice what's broken before it becomes a problem
• HRBP or people partner experience, or a strong appetite to grow into it
• Fluent in English; German is a plus

What they offer

• Employee Share Options Program for all permanent employees
• Benefits including Urban Sports club and quarterly team retreats
• Flat hierarchy, open 360° feedback, and flexible working hours
• Diverse team of 10+ nationalities working on cutting-edge projects with real-world impact
