JOIN OUR TEAM
At Westwing, we believe that every hire brings us closer to becoming the Superbrand in Design. As Team Lead Talent Acquisition & Employer Branding, you will be the guardian of our talent bar – ensuring we don’t just attract the best, but hire the right ones. You’ll lead a small, high-impact team and play a crucial role in shaping the future of Westwing by identifying talents who deliver exceptional results and embody our culture. This is a role for a strategic doer: someone who thrives in fast-paced, low-budget environments, rolls up their sleeves, and brings creative ideas to life. Someone who challenges leaders, not just supports them. Someone who dares to push for better hiring decisions and builds a recruiting function that’s as aspirational as our brand. This position is permanent and based in Munich.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- own and elevate our recruiting strategy – with clear focus on quality, efficiency, and scalability
- champion our employer brand and candidate experience – without big budgets, but with big ideas
- lead, coach and inspire a global team of 5, while also getting hands-on in critical searches
- act as a sparring partner for hiring managers and senior leaders – challenging, advising and steering hiring decisions
- continuously improve recruiting processes with a data- and impact-driven mindset – leveraging automation and AI where it makes us better
- build strong, long-term pipelines for key roles and future growth areas
YOU COME WITH
- 6+ years in Talent Acquisition and Employer Branding, including 2+ years in a leadership role – ideally in a high-performance, fast-moving environment
- a strong sense for quality and cultural fit – and the courage to challenge decisions when needed
- proven ability to deliver results without large budgets – you think in impact, not in headcount
- a hands-on attitude – you love working with your team and actively recruiting top talent yourself
- a growth mindset and strong business acumen – you understand how great hiring drives company success
- passion for process excellence and innovation – from automation to AI, you constantly raise the bar
- fluency in English and German – strong written and verbal communication skills are essential in our international environment
