About the role
As our Talent Partner & Systems Builder, you will help shape how Flinn grows from 60 to more than 120 people over the next 15 months.
Working in a People team of three, you will lead hiring initially across engineering and product roles while helping us evolve how we attract, assess, and hire exceptional people.
Many of our best hires come through our network, referrals, and communities. As we expand across Vienna, Berlin, NYC, and beyond, one of the challenges you will help us solve is how to scale that advantage into new markets and talent communities.
We're looking for someone who wants to rethink talent acquisition from first principles: what does hiring look like when start treating it as a product problem? What can you build, automate, or completely replace?
