Our technology is already used in routine diagnostics across more than 25 countries and supports leading pharmaceutical and biotech companies in developing and advancing new cancer treatments.\nWhat makes Mindpeak special is the combination of disciplines required to make this work. Software engineers and machine learning experts work alongside pathologists, scientists, product specialists and commercial teams to turn cutting-edge AI into products that deliver real value in healthcare.\nThis also makes building our team unusually interesting. Many of the people we hire sit at the intersection of different disciplines and are difficult to find through conventional recruiting. Identifying exceptional talent, understanding what great looks like and building hiring processes that allow us to make consistently strong decisions are therefore critical to Mindpeak’s next stage of growth.\nThe Role\nWe are looking for a Senior Talent Acquisition Manager to take ownership of recruiting across Mindpeak.\nThis is a senior individual contributor role for someone who genuinely enjoys recruiting and sees Talent Acquisition itself as their profession.\nYou will recruit across different functions, with a particular focus on senior, business-critical and hard-to-fill roles spanning Product, Technology and Business. You will work closely with our founders and hiring managers to define what we actually need, identify what great looks like for each role and translate this into rigorous, efficient hiring processes.\nThis is a hands-on recruiting role, not a generalist People & Culture or Organizational Development position. You will personally run critical searches, source candidates, conduct interviews and close hires. At the same time, we expect you to help raise the quality of hiring across Mindpeak by challenging unclear requirements, improving interview practices and bringing structure and discipline to how we make hiring decisions.\nYou will not inherit a recruiting team, but you will have the mandate and budget to work with external recruiters and specialist search partners where they add value.\nYour Mission\nOwn the full recruiting cycle: from search strategy, sourcing and screening through interviews, offers and closing.\n\nPartner with our CEO and hiring managers as a trusted talent advisor: clarify requirements, challenge assumptionsand drive decisions forward.\n\nProactively identify and engage high-quality candidates, particularly for senior, leadership and hard-to-fill roles.\n\nRun high-quality interviews that go beyond CVs and polished answers, uncovering concrete evidence of impact, decision-making and individual contribution.\n\nSelect, brief and actively manage external recruiters and search partners where they add value.\n\nKeep pipelines, bottlenecks and risks transparent for leadership, and keep improving how Mindpeak hires without unnecessary bureaucracy.\n\nWhat Success Looks Like\nPriority searches run with clear role profiles and explicit assessment criteria, even when requirements start out ambiguous.\n\nYou successfully engage high-quality passive candidates and build genuine interest in Mindpeak and our roles.\n\nInterviews across Mindpeak become more rigorous and consistent, based on evidence rather than titles or impressions.\n\nMost importantly, critical roles get closed with people who raise the quality of the organisation.\n\nYour Experience\nSubstantial hands-on experience owning full-cycle recruiting; a background in executive search or another environment with a strong sourcing and assessment culture is a plus.\n\nProven track record of closing senior, leadership and hard-to-fill searches, with strong active sourcing skills and confidence approaching passive candidates.\n\nExperience in a technology-driven, high-growth environment, recruiting across functions such as Product, Technology and Business. You don't need to be technical, but you understand how these teams work well enough to recruit credibly.\n\nExperience working directly with founders or demanding senior hiring managers and influencing their decisions rather than simply executing requirements.\n\nExperiencetranslating unclear business needs into clear role profiles, scorecards and structured interview processes.\n\nExperience selecting and managing external agencies or headhunters.\n\nFluent English; German is an advantage but not essential.\n\nYour Profile\nYou interview for evidence and have strong talent judgment. You can tell an impressive CV or polished answer from real evidence that someone will succeed.\n\nYou know what good looks like and can credibly bring that standard into an organisation still developing its own.\n\nYou challenge senior stakeholders constructively and communicate clearly and directly with executives, hiring managers and senior candidates alike.\n\nYou take ownership. When a search isn't working, you diagnose why and change the approach, and you know when requirements need to change.\n\nYou create structure without bureaucracy, just enough process to improve speed, quality and accountability.\n\nYou learn quickly and immerse yourself in unfamiliar domains until you can recruit credibly in them.\n\nWhy Mindpeak\nTake real ownership of Talent Acquisition in a growing AI company where hiring exceptional people has a direct impact on the success of the business.\n\nRecruit across some of the most interesting talent markets today - from AI and software engineering to medicine, science and commercial roles.\n\nWork directly with our founders and senior leaders Shape and continuously improve how we identify, assess and hire exceptional people rather than simply executing a fixed corporate recruiting process.\n\nSee the impact of the teams you build on cancer diagnostics and treatment.\n\nWork from our centrally located Hamburg office with a beautiful view over the harbor.\n\nApplication Details\nPlease send us:\nYour CV and reference letters\n\nYour salary expectations\n\nYour earliest possible starting date\n\nNote: Direct applicants only. We do not work with recruiting agencies for this position.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6279,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Diagnostics","Medical Imaging","Medical AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-24T16:55:17Z"}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-09-24T19:41:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/mindpeak-senior-talent-acquisition-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/mindpeak-senior-talent-acquisition-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-24T19:41:00Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers"}}
