You’ll play a critical role in maintaining a compliant, well-organized, and people-first work environment.

- This is a fully onsite position, based at our office in Lisbon, where you will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams in person and contribute to a dynamic and fast-paced environment. We are open to support with relocation efforts.

## ONBOARDING

## REQUIREMENTS

- Minimum of 2 years of experience in recruiting, including sourcing, interviewing, and negotiating offers — ideally within a consultancy or fast-paced environment.
- Hands-on experience with Applicant Tracking Systems, especially Ashby.
- Proficient in LinkedIn tools, especially LinkedIn Recruiter, and familiar with other sourcing platforms and talent engagement strategies.
- Experience supporting HR operations such as payroll, benefits, and employee services.
- Strong attention to detail and organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
- Familiarity with the Portuguese labor law framework — you don’t need to be a legal expert, but understanding the impact of current regulations on hiring and employee operations is a significant plus.
- Excellent written and verbal communication in English; Portuguese proficiency is a bonus.
