Following our recent $80m Series C funding, we are ready to push beyond.

The opportunity

We are seeking a Talent Acquisition Partner: an individual who is passionate about enabling a product-led organisation by engaging and hiring talented members across all different Business areas.

What you will do:

• Own hiring end-to-end, from intake through offer, across Product, Tech, and Business, with Product as your primary area of depth.

• Work as a peer to hiring managers and Product leadership: run intakes that sharpen unclear requirements, push back when a profile isn't hireable, calibrate on candidates, and hold the process to a standard when timelines get tight.

• Develop sourcing strategies for talent that rarely applies passive outreach, Boolean, referrals, networking, and competitive intelligence across travel tech, marketplaces, and B2B SaaS.

• Maintain pipelines for critical and recurring roles, so we're not starting from zero each time a req opens.

• Coach hiring managers on interviewing and keep our assessment consistent as teams grow.

• Use hiring data, funnel conversion, time-to-hire, and source effectiveness to change how we hire, not just to report on it.

• Keep the ATS accurate and support employer branding in the communities we hire from.

Requirements

Who you are:

• 5+ years in talent acquisition, in-house, with demonstrable full-cycle ownership: you've sourced, assessed, negotiated, and closed senior hires yourself.

• Strong Product hiring track record. You can hold a credible conversation about discovery, roadmaps, and metrics, and judge whether a candidate's story about impact holds up.

• Breadth across Tech and Business hiring alongside that depth.

• Strong stakeholder management with senior hiring managers. You can redirect a stalled search, challenge a hiring manager, and deliver difficult market news without damaging the relationship.

• A proven pipeline of both active and passive candidates, with rapport built throughout and offers closed at the end.

• Data fluency: you can build a funnel view and use it to make an argument.

• You have a curious mindset, always testing and adapting your search approach, driven by finding the right talent — and open to 360-degree feedback as a way to keep growing.

• Comfortable in a fast-moving, global, diverse start-up environment, and open to feedback.

• You have a curious mindset and an interest in research; open to 360-degree feedback and looking to grow.

• Tools affinity, keeping our ATS updated, and data accurate.

• You are fluent in English, both verbal and written.

What you can expect:

• Make a global impact. Help shape how millions of people discover and book ground transportation worldwide.

• Own your work. Take responsibility from day one and see the direct impact of your contributions.

• Build with the best tools. We move fast, continuously evolve our tech stack, and invest in modern, efficient solutions.

• Work with industry leaders. Our partners include Booking.com, Google Maps, Amtrak, Deutsche Bahn, Renfe, and SNCF.

• Grow with exceptional people. Join an international team that will challenge, support, and inspire you every day.

• Work your way. Enjoy flexible and remote-friendly working options, relocation opportunities, and plenty of room to grow.
