ABOUT THE ROLE

This is an opportunity to do more than fill vacancies. As Senior Talent Acquisition Partner, Engineering & Product, you'll help shape how Sitecore attracts and hires the talent that will drive our technology and product ambitions.

You'll partner with leaders across Engineering, R&D and Product, bringing technical recruiting expertise, market intelligence and a strategic approach to hiring. You'll influence talent strategies and build pipelines that give us access to the skills we need now and in the future.

Dublin is our primary hub for technical talent, and you'll play an important role in growing our Engineering and R&D capabilities there. You'll also work across our global Talent Acquisition team, with opportunities to support hiring in other markets as priorities evolve.

As Sitecore invests in AI and transforms how we build and deliver software, you'll help attract exceptional talent across AI, Engineering and Product. Reporting to the Global Head of Talent Acquisition, you'll have the autonomy to make incredible impact and help shape the future of talent acquisition at Sitecore!

WHAT YOU WILL DO

•Develop creative sourcing strategies to identify and engage exceptional talent, including senior, specialist and hard-to-reach candidates.

•Build talent communities and pipelines across critical and emerging skill areas, particularly as Sitecore continues its AI-first transformation.

•Coach hiring managers on effective candidate assessment, interview design and decision-making, helping teams recognise technical capability and make consistent, evidence-based hiring decisions.

•Anticipate future skills and talent needs, building proactive strategies rather than simply responding to vacancies.

•The ability to work autonomously, manage competing priorities and contribute to a collaborative global team.

•Hiring managers are engaged, informed and accountable throughout the recruitment process, enabling timely decisions and a strong candidate experience.
