(Senior) Talent Acquisition Manager (f/m/x)
suena energy is a green tech startup specializing in algorithmic energy trading for energy storage systems and renewable energies. Our vision: a world where clean energy is used reliably, economically, and intelligently. With our AI-based optimization and trading software, we maximize the revenues of operators of large-scale energy storage and renewable assets on short-term electricity and balancing markets - while simultaneously minimizing their risks. We're a 50+ person team that's fast-paced by nature, but the kind of place where people actually look out for each other. Following our successful Series A, we're investing in expanding our team – and we're excited to strengthen our team with new talent and continue growing together!
Your mission
- Own Talent Acquisition end-to-end – from sourcing and interviews to offer, across commercial, finance, trading and tech roles.
- Take what's already running and make it scale – our interview process, assessment step and workflows exist; you keep refining them as we grow.
- Own sourcing and channel strategy – find people before they're looking, not just when a req opens.
- Partner with hiring managers on role definition and process – structured interviews, clear decision-making, no gut-feeling hires.
- Build out KPI tracking – so we know what's actually working in our hiring, not just how many CVs came in.
- Work with Marketing on employer branding that reflects who we really are, not generic startup copy.
- Work with Marietta, our People Lead, on the bigger strategic calls – leveling changes, new tools, process design – with direct sparring from the Talent Partner who built our current process.
- Proven recruiting track record in tech-driven, fast-paced environments – across a broad range of roles, not just one function.
- You build roadmaps, not just job ads – you translate headcount plans into prioritized action yourself.
- Experience with structured interviews and assessment tools – you care about reducing bias, not just filling seats fast.
- You challenge hiring managers when needed – on role definition, on process, on decisions – collaboratively, not combatively.
- Candidate experience is a craft to you, not a checkbox you tick at the end.
- Direct communicator – you raise issues, push back when something's off, and follow through. Fluent in German and English (C1 each) – working language is English, but you navigate German stakeholders just as confidently.
