We’re based in Berlin and we are considering Berlin based candidates for this role.

Team’s mission:

The Talent Acquisition team aims to align recruitment efforts with the organisation’s goals and values, while also fostering a positive candidate experience and contributing to the company’s overall growth and success.

This role will give you the opportunity to:

• Take responsibility for the recruitment lifecycle attracting the best talent for various departments focusing mainly on Engineering, i.e.our software developers, who are the largest team at Upvest.

• You feel comfortable working with a variety of stakeholders and understand how to build consensus to create the best hiring process and candidate experience.

• You act as a business partner for the entire hiring team playing a key role ensuring that the right hiring decisions are made.

• Partner with multiple hiring managers and other resources to identify, engage, evaluate, and recruit talents.

• In addition to recruitment, you will have the opportunity to take part in a range of exciting projects, covering DEIB topics, employer branding activities, etc.

• You possess a strong ability to assess and evaluate candidate profiles to ensure alignment with job requirements, company culture, and values.

• You have extensive experience working with Engineering/tech roles as well as other departments such as Product, Sales, Marketing, Finance and Banking.

• You can easily navigate ATS platforms (we use TeamTailor) and sourcing tools (such as LinkedIn Recruiter);

• You are a data driven individual who relies on data analysis and metrics in order to optimise recruitment and decision- making processes.

• You have a Headhunter mindset, can easily source, find and excite the passive talent, rather than fully relying on inbound applications.

• You possess exceptional communication skills and it's easy for you to connect with candidates and assess their fit for a position.

• Even if roles are sometimes complex: you stay on track and always find new creative ways to expand the candidate pool. Together with your colleagues, you brainstorm regularly, helping each other out.

• You are enthusiastic about Upvest’s mission: to make investing as easy as spending money.

• You have outstanding English and German speaking and writing skills (at least C1for German, if not native)

Why Upvest?

• We're working on solving a hard problem: fixing the European securities financial infrastructure that empowers more people to be able to invest. You have the opportunity to contribute to this change.

• We invest in you. From access to a personal coach, development budget and plenty of opportunities to grow in your role.

• We take hiring seriously with a strong focus on keeping a high bar when interviewing (equally important is that we hire decent people, who are passionate about their craft and helping us achieve our shared mission).

• While we're not quite fully-remote, we are committed to being a flexible employer, as we understand you don't have to be in the office to do your best work.

• We live a culture of empowerment, trust (that we hire the best people and get out of their way) and openness (there's a greater advantage in sharing information than keeping it to ourselves).

Our values:

• Learn and grow. We aim high to shape our future. We give and request honest feedback knowing that we develop together. Progression over Perfection.

• Team first. We make it easy for others. We value our differences and are open to others' opinions. We win and celebrate together! Team over Egos.

• Own the outcome. Whether we win or we lose, we stand together. We are proactive and get the job done. Outcome over Process.

• Tell the story. We always start with the why. We share knowledge to empower others. Transparency over Complexity.

Upvest is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees
