Talent Acquisition Partner, US Market

Location: Fully remote Employment type: Full-time Collaboration hours: Meaningful overlap with both US business hours and European (CET) HQ hours Reporting line: Part of the global HR and talent team based in Europe, working closely with US hiring managers Language: Excellent written and spoken English

About The Company

We are a fast-scaling, design-led home-technology company headquartered in Europe, now investing heavily in our North American growth.

We create premium, integrated systems for lighting, climate, power, and security that are built to disappear into the world's most sophisticated residential and architectural spaces. The United States is one of our fastest-growing markets, and we are building the team, the pipeline, and the employer brand to match that ambition.

About The Role

This role exists because our US growth has outpaced our ability to source US talent from a European HR base.

We are hiring our first dedicated Talent Acquisition Partner for the US market to own proactive sourcing and pipeline building for the region. You will map the US talent landscape, build pipelines ahead of need, and partner closely with US hiring managers and our European talent team to bring the right people in across a range of functions. This is a build role: you will shape how we attract and hire in North America, not inherit a finished playbook.

Key Responsibilities

US Sourcing and Pipeline Building

  • Drive proactive sourcing across US roles, including sales, business development, technical, operations, and support.
  • Map the US talent landscape, identify target companies, and build sustainable talent pipelines ahead of hiring need.

Passive Candidate Engagement

  • Identify and engage passive candidates through LinkedIn Recruiter, professional networks, referrals, and creative sourcing strategies.

Hiring Manager Partnership

  • Work with US hiring managers and the European HR team to understand talent needs, define target profiles, and anticipate future hiring.

Screening And Candidate Experience

  • Conduct initial screenings and candidate conversations, assessing motivation, experience, and fit while delivering a strong candidate experience.
  • Support the full recruitment process from identification through to offer, alongside hiring managers and the global HR team.

Market Intelligence and Metrics

  • Bring US talent market insight, including availability, compensation benchmarks, and local hiring practices.
  • Track sourcing effectiveness and recruitment metrics, and continuously improve the approach, tools, and pipelines.

International Collaboration

  • Contribute to international sourcing initiatives with the European HQ talent team, and help new US colleagues feel connected to the wider organization from day one.

Required Qualifications

  • Minimum 5 years of experience in talent acquisition or recruitment, ideally in a fast-growing or international environment (scale-up, consulting, or similar).
  • Strong expertise in proactive sourcing and talent mapping, with a proven ability to identify and engage passive candidates.
  • Solid working knowledge of the US labor market, recruitment channels, and hiring practices.
  • Hands-on experience with LinkedIn Recruiter, applicant tracking systems, and modern sourcing tools.
  • Excellent communication skills in English.
  • Comfortable collaborating across time zones with a Europe-based HR team and US hiring managers.
  • A proactive, structured, and collaborative approach to building relationships and finding talent.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in a recruitment agency or executive search environment.
  • Experience recruiting across diverse functions, including sales, technical, and operations roles.
  • Experience recruiting for the US market while based outside the US.
  • A bachelor's or master's degree.
  • A genuine interest in design, technology, or manufacturing.

Ideal Candidate Profile

You are a hunter at heart who loves the sourcing side of recruiting. You are organized and methodical about building pipelines, and you keep candidates warm over time. You write clearly and persuasively in English, which matters when your first contact with a passive candidate is a cold message. You are comfortable with ambiguity in a fast-growing company, you work well independently across time zones, and you genuinely enjoy connecting with people and spotting talent others miss.

Why Join Us

  • You will shape the US talent pipeline and sourcing strategy from the ground up, and directly influence who joins as we grow in North America.
  • You will be part of a global HR team that collaborates across countries and cultures.
  • Our culture is warm, down to earth, and family driven, where ambition and collaboration go hand in hand.
  • A genuinely challenging scope with real ownership and room to grow.
  • A competitive salary package tailored to your experience and skills.
