Help us use technology to make a big green dent in the universe!

Kraken powers some of the most innovative global developments in energy.

We’re a technology company focused on creating a smart, sustainable energy system.

It’s a really exciting time in energy. Help us make a real impact on shaping a better, more sustainable future.

We’re looking for a Senior Talent Partner to join our global talent team (20+ people) to support our growth as we continue to scale across Europe. You’ll play a key role in building out core teams in our European offices, hiring across engineering, product, commercial, and operational roles.

This role blends hands-on delivery with the chance to help shape how we grow in a new market. You’ll be joining a collaborative, high performing talent team that works closely with the business and constantly looks for ways to improve how we hire.

What you'll do

  • Leading end-to-end hiring for roles across our European team - spanning tech, product, commercial, and operations
  • Building strong relationships with hiring managers to understand team goals and define smart hiring strategies
  • Proactively sourcing and engaging exceptional candidates
  • Supporting wider talent projects in Europe, from improving candidate experience and DEI in hiring to refining our process and tooling
  • Working closely with global teammates to share ideas, resources, and learnings
  • Acting as a thought partner to the business as we continue expanding our presence in Europe
  • What you'll have

  • Proven experience hiring across a range of functions, ideally with a strong grounding in technical recruitment
  • Someone who’s comfortable with ambiguity and excited to help shape a growing market
  • A hands-on recruiter who can balance delivery with strategic thinking
  • Curiosity, initiative, and a creative approach to problem-solving
  • A strong focus on inclusive hiring and delivering a great candidate experience
  • Kraken is a certified Great Place to Work in France, Germany, Spain, Japan and Australia.
