Senior Recruitment Specialist

We are looking for a hands-on Recruiting Specialist to own and drive our full-cycle hiring across tech and commercial functions. You will be a core part of our People team – building pipelines, running structured processes, and securing the talent that shapes our next chapter.

This is an operational role for someone who gets things done. Strong hands-on recruiting experience in tech and/or commercial hiring is non-negotiable. A background in defense or deep tech environments is a strong plus.

The day-to-day

• Run structured interview processes and coordinate with hiring managers
• Manage and maintain our ATS (Personio) and keep pipelines clean and up to date
• Build talent pools for critical and recurring hiring needs
• Act as a strong brand ambassador and represent 24I credibly to candidates
• Continuously improve hiring processes, scorecards and documentation
• Support onboarding handover and close collaboration with the People team

You should apply if you

• Have proven full-cycle recruiting experience – ideally across tech and commercial roles
• Are operationally strong, structured and able to manage multiple open roles simultaneously
• Have hands-on experience with Personio or a comparable ATS
• Communicate confidently and professionally with candidates and senior stakeholders
• Work independently, take ownership, and push processes forward without being chased
• Are based in Munich or willing to relocate
• Fluent in German and English (C1/C2 level)

Nice to haves
