YOU & AHEAD
At ahead, we’re transforming how millions of people snack - and we can’t do that without exceptional people. We’ve doubled our team size this year and are gearing up to expand even further.
We’re looking for a Senior Talent Acquisition Manager who understands that great hiring is more than sourcing CVs - it’s storytelling, market intelligence, stakeholder partnering, and shaping the team that will carry our mission forward.
You see people, not profiles: you understand motivations, career paths, and what makes someone thrive - not just match a job title.
You’ll be a central force in how we scale, who we hire, and how we compete for talent in some of the most competitive markets in Europe.
AND WHY AHEAD?
Working at ahead is more than just a job - it’s your opportunity to develop as a professional and as a person, while shaping the future of snacking. Our mission is to make low sugar the new standard, and we pour that ambition into every product we create. You’ll become part of a team where international talent, startup drive, real impact, and true ownership come together.
- Hypergrowth Environment: If you're looking for greenfield, creative freedom, and real impact, you're in the right place. We're a team that is scaling fast - with purpose
- Great Workspace: A central office in the heart of Hamburg near the Alster, top equipment (MacBook), snacks, drinks, plenty of Ahead products - and yes, a ping-pong table. We’re also pet-friendly, so you can always bring your furry friend along
- Amazing Team: Young, international, ambitious - inspiring colleagues who collaborate, support each other, and genuinely enjoy working together
- Career Growth: Develop through cross-functional projects, structured feedback cycles, and a steep learning curve in a dynamic, high growth environment. We offer a fair, attractive salary with role-dependent bonus opportunities
- Great Benefits: Fuel yourself with ahead snacks, drinks, and merch - we’ve got you covered. On top: a €50 monthly allowance to spend as you like - Urban Sports Club, mobility options, or vouchers from your favorite brands (IKEA, MediaMarkt, Lego and more)
- Events & Offsites: Regular after-work hangouts and legendary annual team offsites you won’t forget
This role is based in Hamburg, with the flexibility of up to 2 home office days per week and the option to work from abroad for agreed upon periods. If this resonates with you, you can dive into the next steps as outlined below!
