VP Talent

Location:  Full Onsite. Berlin Mitte, Germany.

A next-generation supply chain platform, the company is redefining how one of the world's largest industries sources, distributes, and finances materials. Engineered to unlock the full potential of global trade, it harnesses agentic AI and workflow automation to provide seamless, high-efficiency access to premium materials at scale.

Since its commercial rollout, the platform has fueled exponential growth, optimizing procurement for thousands of businesses while setting new benchmarks for speed, transparency, and efficiency. Its competitive edge lies in full digitization and AI-driven supply chain management automation, eliminating inefficiencies and creating a direct, intelligent bridge between suppliers and buyers.

At its core is a proprietary AI-powered operating system that autonomously manages sourcing, sales, fulfillment, and fintech solutions within a unified order-to-pay infrastructure. By embedding financial services and logistics directly into its platform, it self-optimizes trade flows, reduces reliance on intermediaries, and accelerates transactions with minimal human intervention.

With a team of 75+ FTEs across Europe (Berlin HQ), China, and India, the company is rapidly scaling toward profitability, driving triple-digit million GMV, and setting new industry standards in autonomous, AI-powered supply chain orchestration.

We're hiring a Vice President of Talent to architect and lead the next growth phase of the business. This is not a maintenance role - it's a design-and-execution mandate. You'll build the systems, culture, and leadership pipeline that let the business scale from dozens to hundreds of A-players without losing speed or precision.

You'll sit at the intersection of Talent, Growth, and Strategy, working directly with the Founders and leadership team to shape how we hire, onboard, and develop exceptional people. Your scope spans global talent acquisition, employer brand, leadership development, organizational design, and performance systems, all underpinned by data and automation.

• Lead the recruiting team: Coach, set targets, and create a predictable hiring rhythm that mirrors the commercial velocity of the business.

• Partner with leadership: Translate hiring demand into structured workforce plans and future-proof org design.

• Champion data and AI: Use analytics and AI-enabled sourcing tools (Gem, Ashby, ChatGPT, LinkedIn AI, etc.) to shorten time-to-hire and lift candidate quality.

• Elevate employer branding: Position the business as a destination for world-class operators, engineers, and commercial talent.

• Embed incentives and performance culture: Define metrics, rituals, and systems that reward output, ownership, and growth.

• Drive inclusion and compliance: Ensure fair, scalable, and legally sound global hiring practices.

• Model the office-only standard: Build and champion a culture of energy, collaboration, and on-floor presence - five days a week in the Berlin HQ.
  

• 5+ years in talent leadership, ideally in high-growth B2B tech, or tech-enabled operations environments.

• Proven record of scaling teams 100 → 200 + with measurable ROIC on hiring quality, time, and retention.

• Deep understanding of sourcing systems, ATS (e.g., Ashby, Greenhouse) the latest AI assistance for hiring, and employer branding across multiple markets.

• Data-driven mindset - comfortable with dashboards, funnel analytics, and talent forecasting.

• Experience building international teams and working with C-level executives.

• Fluent communicator in English (German or another European language a plus).

• Naturally thrives in an office-only culture - believes that proximity builds speed, cohesion, and accountability.

• A role to fulfill with entrepreneurial freedom and a pre-validated business model to be pushed to the next level

• An experienced founding team (three companies, 2 exits)

• A future-proof job with an attractive salary in a successful and value-oriented company

• Collaboration with top-tier investors and angels (incl. various unicorn founders) as well as leading market experts

• A challenging yet rewarding work environment, and the opportunity to make a significant impact within a rapidly growing company

• Beautiful office space in the center of Berlin, monthly all-hands, team events, and team lunches
