Senior Talent Acquisition Manager – Commercial (f/m/d)

YOUR MISSION

As our Senior Talent Acquisition Manager – Commercial, you make sure every seat in Sales, Customer Success and Marketing goes to someone exceptional. You report to Fritz Cramer, Co-CEO, and work closely with our VP Sales, Head of SC Sales, Head of Customer Success and Marketing Lead. That means real ownership: you shape how Cosuno hires, not just who.

WHAT YOU WILL ACHIEVE IN YOUR FIRST 12 MONTHS

• You hire 25 people across Account Executives, Customer Success and Inside Sales Managers, owning every process from intake to signed contract.
• You build warm pipelines before roles open, so we hire through sourcing and referrals instead of agencies.
• You turn every role into a clear scorecard and give hiring managers structured interviews they actually use.
• You relaunch our referral programme and turn our team into our best talent scouts.
• You make hiring measurable with a monthly dashboard on time-to-hire, conversion and source of hire.

WHAT THE JOB REALLY LOOKS LIKE

• A large part of your week is active sourcing and candidate conversations. If you prefer managing agencies, this role is not for you.
• You run several commercial processes in parallel, with ambitious hiring managers who want great people fast.
• There is no large TA team and no finished playbook. You build the processes while you hire.
• You push back when a profile or a decision is not right. We want you to.

WHAT YOU BRING

• 4+ years of recruiting experience, including at least 2 years in-house at a high-growth tech company, hiring for Sales roles.
• A track record you can prove in numbers: hires made, time-to-hire and offer acceptance rate. You steer your pipeline by data, not gut feeling.
• Proven sourcing skills: you have filled roles through direct outreach and can show what worked.
• Structured assessment: you run scorecard-based interviews and can tell real sales talent from a good pitch.
• Strong closing skills: you win top candidates against competing offers and counteroffers.
• Strong stakeholder management: you advise hiring managers and challenge them when it matters.
• Fluent German and English, written and spoken.

NICE TO HAVE

• Hands-on experience with Ashby, LinkedIn Recruiter, Clay or Lusha.
• You use AI tools and automation in sourcing and outreach.
• Curiosity about construction or other traditional industries.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Salary: €70,000–90,000 gross base salary per year, depending on experience, plus a variable component of 25 % of your base salary at 100 % target achievement, tied to hires who successfully complete their probation period.
• AI at the core: you work with Ashby, LinkedIn Recruiter, Clay and Lusha, and you have a budget to test new tools.
• Learning budget for your professional development.
• Time off: 25-30 vacation days per year.
• Flexibility: fully remote within Germany or from our office in Berlin-Kreuzberg, with flexible hours.
• A great team: open and international, with regular off-sites and team events.
• Stability: permanent contract in a well-funded company.
