About Cosuno

Construction is a €14 trillion industry that still runs on email, spreadsheets, and scanned PDFs. Cosuno is replacing that with AI. General contractors tender their projects on our platform to more than 250,000 subcontractors, and our agentic AI matches the right firms, flags anomalies in bids, and benchmarks every price against 6.5 million data points from over €136 billion in processed bid volume. Every tender makes the AI smarter. The results are measurable: general contractors cut costs by around 6%, subcontractors win 22% more volume, and every new general contractor customer this year has chosen our AI product. Founded in Berlin in 2019 and backed by Cherry Ventures and Spark Capital with over €40 million raised, we are now scaling Sales, Customer Success, and Marketing with that capital. That is where you come in.

Responsibilities

As our Senior Talent Acquisition Manager – Commercial, you will ensure every seat in Sales, Customer Success, and Marketing goes to someone exceptional. You will report to Fritz Cramer, Co-CEO, and work closely with our VP Sales, Head of SC Sales, Head of Customer Success, and Marketing Lead. That means real ownership: you shape how Cosuno hires, not just who.

What you will achieve in your first 12 months

• Hire 25 people across Account Executives, Customer Success, and Inside Sales Managers, owning every process from intake to signed contract.
• Build warm pipelines before roles open, so we hire through sourcing and referrals instead of agencies.
• Turn every role into a clear scorecard and give hiring managers structured interviews they actually use.
• Relaunch our referral program and turn our team into our best talent scouts.
• Make hiring measurable with a monthly dashboard on time-to-hire, conversion, and source of hire.

What the job really looks like

• A large part of your week is active sourcing and candidate conversations. If you prefer managing agencies, this role is not for you.
• You run several commercial processes in parallel, with ambitious hiring managers who want great people fast.
• There is no large TA team and no finished playbook. You build the processes while you hire.
• You push back when a profile or a decision is not right. We want you to.

Requirements

• 4+ years of recruiting experience, including at least 2 years in-house at a high-growth tech company, hiring for Sales roles.
• A track record you can prove in numbers: hires made, time-to-hire, and offer acceptance rate. You steer your pipeline by data, not gut feeling.
• Proven sourcing skills: you have filled roles through direct outreach and can show what worked.
• Structured assessment: you run scorecard-based interviews and can tell real sales talent from a good pitch.
• Strong closing skills: you win top candidates against competing offers and counteroffers.
• Strong stakeholder management: you advise hiring managers and challenge them when it matters.
• Fluent German and English, written and spoken.

Nice to Have

• Hands-on experience with Ashby, LinkedIn Recruiter, Clay, or Lusha.
• You use AI tools and automation in sourcing and outreach.
• Curiosity about construction or other traditional industries.

We Offer

• Salary: €70,000–90,000 gross base salary per year, depending on experience, plus a variable component of 25% of your base salary at 100% target achievement, tied to hires who successfully complete their probation period.
• AI at the core: you work with Ashby, LinkedIn Recruiter, Clay, and Lusha, and you have a budget to test new tools.
• Learning budget for your professional development.
• Time off: 25-30 vacation days per year.
• Flexibility: fully remote within Germany or from our office in Berlin-Kreuzberg, with flexible hours.
• A great team: open and international, with regular off-sites and team events.
• Stability: permanent contract in a well-funded company.
