Join Proton and build a better internet where privacy is the default

Purpose of the role:
We’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Partner (Tech and Product) to join our Paris office and help us raise the bar even higher. This is not an “order-taking” recruiter role. You will operate with high autonomy, navigate ambiguity, challenge assumptions, and hunt down truly exceptional product and engineering talent across Europe. You will own the full recruiting lifecycle for technical roles, build relationships with hiring managers, use data to drive action, and represent Proton in the market. You will also contribute locally to People & Culture initiatives to strengthen our community.
What you will do:

Own full-cycle technical hiring across Europe—from sourcing to close
Build and maintain high-quality pipelines (no “maybes” clogging the funnel)
Proactively source and convert passive talent; inbound is not enough
Act as a true partner to hiring managers: advise, challenge, influence
Use data & metrics to diagnose issues and drive decisions; no storytelling without facts
Deliver an exceptional candidate experience—transparent, respectful, efficient
Identify process gaps and fix them without waiting to be told
Contribute to employer brand efforts: events, content, partnerships
Participate in cross-functional People & Culture initiatives in Paris
Share knowledge, mentor teammates, and support smooth handovers

Job requirements:

5+ years of recruiting experience in international environments
You can run a full cycle autonomously across time zones and async
Strong communication + negotiation skills; you’re direct and persuasive
Data-driven mindset; you lean on facts, not vibes
Ability to thrive in fast, changing environments
Experience representing your company externally (meetups, job fairs, social media)
Fluent English, written and spoken
