Senior Strategic Talent Partner (Parental Leave Cover/Fixed-Term Contract)
About this role
We're looking for a Senior Strategic Talent Partner (Fixed-term, Parental Leave through May 2027) to join our People team in Helsinki. You can also work fully remotely from Finland.
About the Role We're looking for a Senior Strategic Talent Partner who operates as a high-stakes consultant, not a traditional recruiter. Your core mission is to protect and elevate our Talent Density during a critical phase of evolution. We are currently transforming our workflows and tools to suit a highly automated, tech-forward model, which means you won't be spending most of your days on manual sourcing or managing calendar invites. Instead, your focus will be entirely on high-leverage work: calibrating the hiring bar with business leaders, architecting closing strategies for rare talent, and ensuring your strategic, human interventions add 10x value to our evolving processes.
This isn't a role for someone who wants to stick to a mindset of manual task completion. You will actively steward our transition into systemic talent management, serving as the crucial human anchor in an automated pipeline. If you're energized by the idea of leaving the traditional recruiting grind behind to optimize systems, challenge leaders with data, and close the absolute best talent in the market, this role was built for you.
In this role, you will...

Own high-stakes closing: the candidate relationship, negotiation, and experience at the final stages of the hiring process

Own interview scorecard integrity in Greenhouse, updating structure and logic when data signals a gap
