About The Position

pplwise is hiring a Senior Talent Partner for a full-time freelance engagement supporting a fast-growing space-tech company as it builds out its organisation in the Nordic region. The role is remote from Norway, Denmark, Sweden, or Finland. The Talent Partner will be embedded in the client’s recruiting team and hire for technical, go-to-market, or general business functions, depending on their expertise.

During the first two weeks, the Talent Partner will check in daily with their pplwise lead and teammates and complete onboarding with both pplwise and the client. They will learn the client’s vision, strategy, culture, team goals, and open roles; build relationships with hiring managers and their teams; and prepare a delivery forecast using the pplwise methodology. After onboarding, they will take ownership of their roles, build candidate pipelines, and proactively share insights with stakeholders to identify and address bottlenecks early.

The position requires independent work in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment, using market knowledge, recruiting data, and clear communication to deliver hiring outcomes and a strong candidate experience. pplwise provides its playbook, frameworks, training, and a collaborative team of Talent Partners. The company states that it fosters a diverse and inclusive environment and is committed to equal opportunity throughout its hiring process.
