Pelico is a manufacturing orchestration platform that uses AI to connect fragmented supply chain, production, and quality data for industrial operations. Founded in 2019 and backed by General Catalyst, 83North, and Serena, the company has raised $72M with 300% YoY revenue growth, deployed in 15+ countries, and serves major clients including Airbus, Boeing, Safran, Eaton, and Cartier. Headquartered in Paris with offices in Miami, London, and Amsterdam, Pelico is seeking a Talent Acquisition Lead to build and scale the EMEA recruiting function.
In this role, you will shape Pelico's talent strategy across EMEA by building recruiting processes, playbooks, and operating rhythms that enable quality scaling. You'll raise talent quality and density by defining role profiles, coaching hiring managers, and tracking quality-of-hire metrics. You'll partner with People leadership on data-driven talent strategy using funnel metrics and market insights to forecast hiring needs. You'll also create an EMEA employer brand strategy spanning job sites, career pages, school partnerships, and events.
You'll remain hands-on, owning full-cycle recruiting from kickoff through offer acceptance, with a focus on tech roles (engineering, data, product) and select business hires. You'll run creative, outbound-first sourcing to build talent pipelines proactively. You'll advise hiring managers on candidate profiles, interview design, and calibration.
A key part of the role is building a TA function powered by AI—embedding AI across sourcing, market research, candidate engagement, and recruiting operations, while setting up tools and the ATS (Ashby) to enable team scaling.
Compensation includes meaningful equity, competitive salary benchmarked to market, flexible hybrid work, health/dental/vision coverage, and a learning & development budget.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 6+ years of tech recruiting experience with proven track record hiring tech profiles (engineering, data, product) through full-cycle recruiting
- Comfortable as a generalist, hiring across functions and seniority levels as needs evolve
- Skilled at outbound sourcing and experienced with modern ATS platforms
- High-growth, scale-up mindset with experience building from zero in fast-changing environments
- Ability to balance speed with quality and influence leaders with sound judgment and genuine care for candidate experience
