The Role
We are looking for a Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist to join a high-performing TA team at an exciting point in Gelato's growth. This is a genuinely hands-on, full-cycle recruiting role with real breadth and ownership. You will run the entire hiring process yourself, from the first sourcing search through to offer close, across a wide range of functions including GTM, Marketing, Corporate, Operations, Product, and more.
You will be hiring globally, with a primary focus on Europe and the US. You will work directly with senior stakeholders across the business, owning your requisition load completely and contributing to how our TA function operates and scales. We are a lean team, which means more ownership, more visibility, and more direct impact than you would find in a larger function.
We are a team that thinks carefully about how we work smarter. We use tooling thoughtfully, building processes that scale. We are genuinely curious about how AI is changing the way great recruiting gets done and are looking for someone who shares that curiosity, has a natural instinct to improve and automate, and gets excited about building better ways of working rather than waiting for someone else to do it.
Gelato is a global tech unicorn on a mission to change an entire industry, making production smarter and more sustainable. This person will help to build the team that makes this happen. We’ve taken many steps, but our journey is just beginning!
