Run a full recruiting desk for around 15 EP&D roles per year, owning the process end to end from sourcing strategy through to offer
Coordinate a wider group of in-house and contract recruiters across the portfolio, tracking pipelines, managing workload, and keeping quality consistent
Co-create the reporting framework from scratch; funnel metrics, SLAs, outreach-to-interview rates, time-to-hire, and use it to predict where hiring will slow down before it does, surface risks early, and make the case for resources
Develop a predictive hiring model that helps the team get ahead of demand, balancing the speed the business needs with the quality bar we can't compromise on
Partner with senior leadership to align hiring to business priorities, run a regular hiring forum, and make sure the right roles get the right attention at the right time
Design and launch an evergreen pipeline model for priority roles, working out which roles need it, which sourcing channels to use, and embedding it into everyday team rhythms ensuring the pipeline is continuously nurtured
You'll be great for this role if...
Strong hands-on recruiting experience across Engineering, Product and Design roles, with a track record of closing quality hires in high-volume, fast-moving environments
Experience building or improving recruiting processes: funnel reporting, SLAs, scorecards, with a clear understanding of how to balance speed with quality at every stage
Comfortable coordinating other recruiters and holding delivery standards without direct management authority
Confident using hiring data predictively: spotting patterns in the funnel before they become problems, and turning insight into a clear recommendation for senior stakeholders
A natural at stakeholder management across a large, distributed leadership group; keeping people informed, aligned, and accountable

About our team
SumUp's TA team is shifting from reactive hiring to a structured, KPI-driven delivery model, and this role is at the centre of that change. You'll be the dedicated TA Delivery Lead for our Run & Grow tribe , the product and engineering teams behind our core merchant-facing products: payments, point-of-sale, financial tools, and merchant care. It's one of the largest and most complex portfolios at SumUp, a niche mix of Software Engineers, Product Managers, Designers, and Customer Experience profiles across 80 to100 roles annually, that take real market knowledge and sourcing craft to fill well.
You'll run your own desk while coordinating the wider team, and if you're a skilled recruiter ready to grow into project management and informal leadership, this role is built for exactly that. Berlin's tech talent market is deep but specialised, and this role gives you the structure, the data, and the mandate to hire well in it. Fluent English is essential, as you'll be working across a global team and stakeholder group.
