Senior Talent Acquisition Manager

Company Overview Mindpeak is a Hamburg-based AI company on a mission to make cancer diagnosis more accurate, efficient and personalized. We build deep-learning solutions for computational pathology that bring AI directly into clinical practice. 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. What 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. This 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. The Role We are looking for a Senior Talent Acquisition Manager to take ownership of recruiting across Mindpeak. This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who genuinely enjoys recruiting and sees Talent Acquisition itself as their profession. You 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. This 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. You 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. Your Mission Own the full recruiting cycle : from search strategy, sourcing and screening through interviews, offers and closing. Partner with our CEO and hiring managers as a trusted talent advisor : clarify requirements, challenge assumptionsand drive decisions forward. Proactively identify and engage high-quality candidates , particularly for senior, leadership and hard-to-fill roles. Run high-quality interviews that go beyond CVs and polished answers, uncovering concrete evidence of impact, decision-making and individual contribution. Select, brief and actively manage external recruiters and search partners where they add value.
