The role

Ideals has grown 2x in the past four years to a team of 500+ people across 30+ countries. The next stage is more ambitious: scaling toward unicorn status, with significant hiring volume concentrated in GTM teams across the EMEA, Americas, and APAC.
To get there, we need a Director of Talent Acquisition who operates at both levels. Strategically, you'll report directly to the CEO and shape how TA supports revenue growth – aligning hiring priorities with business targets, driving adoption of AI and automation, and holding quality of hire as a non-negotiable. Tactically, you'll lead a team across recruitment, sourcing, Employer Brand, and Operations – diagnosing bottlenecks, tightening processes, and ensuring the function executes consistently at scale.
The TA foundation here is real: a skilled, senior team, strong tooling, and a hiring culture that’s genuinely embedded across the organization. Until now, the TA function has reported to our VP of Operations, who, after 7 incredible years, is moving to the next challenge. To elevate Ideals’ talent acquisition to the next level, we are creating an opportunity for a strategic owner to take the lead.
This role calls for someone who can take what’s working, sharpen it, and lead the function through the complexities of rapid, global growth without losing precision in the process.
