As Talent Operations Coordinator supporting EMEA, you will be the operational backbone of the hiring process, ensuring candidates feel genuinely cared for throughout their interview journey and that hiring never becomes a bottleneck for the business.
Key Responsibilities:
Talent Coordination for R&D: Run point on scheduling and interview logistics for the EMEA team, managing calendars across time zones and handling last-minute changes.
