🤝 What we promise beyond salary

  • 🧠 We greatly value psychological safety and honest feedback. We always expect you to speak up and share your ideas about what we can improve within the company, and take these views to heart.

  • 💬 We do routine 1:1's with your supervisor, retrospectives, and insight hours to make sure we are constantly getting better at what we do, all while fostering employee mental health and wellbeing.

  • 💡 Professional development is something strongly encouraged by Luminovo, so there are no fixed budgets when it comes to things that will further your professional growth (education, trainings etc.). Make a case for it, and we usually say yes!

  • 🤸 We offer a flexible working environment (fully-remote, hybrid, and on-site in Munich), and appreciate everyone managing their working hours to achieve their ideal work-life integration.

  • 👶 When it comes to our take on parent support, Luminovo happily contributes to the childcare costs of Luminerds.

  • 💸 We're excited to revolutionize the electronics industry – and we want you to be too. That's why all full-time Luminerds receive attractive virtual stock option packages.

Luminovo is the electronics supply chain platform that helps OEMs and EMS providers quote and procure faster by bringing all data, processes, and players together in one place.

🚀 Your opportunity

We're 85 people today and adding 15-30 people in the next 6 months across Europe and North America, with heavy focus on GTM roles that will define our growth trajectory.

You'll take the front-line seat for talent acquisition operations at Luminovo, running (and owning) the full recruiting engine for our Go-to-Market organization.

This isn't about posting jobs and waiting for applications—you'll architect a proactive, AI-assisted outbound recruiting strategy that applies the same rigor we use in sales: lead engineering, qualification frameworks, and systematic pipeline building.

Working closely with Hannah (People Lead), you'll develop Luminovo's recruiting capabilities around Ashby, build qualification frameworks influenced by SPICED and Winning by Design, and ensure every face-to-face interaction with candidates creates maximum value. You're not just filling seats—you're matching ambitious talent with the right growth opportunities and long-term progression paths at Luminovo.

🎯 Performance objectives

Scale GTM hiring with velocity and quality

  • Hire 3 GTM roles per month across AEs, BDRs, CSMs, and Implementation Managers

  • Achieve <6 weeks time-to-hire for GTM positions

  • Maintain high offer acceptance rates through rigorous candidate qualification and transparent offer testing

Build a self-sustaining talent pipeline

  • Engineer steady lead flow through AI-assisted outbound recruiting, not manual sourcing

  • Keep leads engaged with systematic nurturing and timely follow-ups

  • Develop qualification frameworks that predict candidate success, not just CV fit

Own recruiting operations and tooling

  • Master Ashby as your recruitment operating system

  • Experiment with AI sourcing tools to automate lead generation and candidate research

  • Collaborate with Hannah to evolve Luminovo's TA infrastructure and best practices

Specialize in GTM recruiting

You'll hire across these priority profiles:

  • Account Executives who can sell complex SaaS solutions in technical industries

  • BDRs capable of deep discovery conversations (not script-reading SDRs)

  • Customer Success Managers from electronics/procurement or B2B SaaS backgrounds

  • Implementation Managers to scale our customer onboarding team

Apply sales methodology to recruiting

  • Use SPICED-influenced discovery to understand candidate situation, pain, and impact

  • Master the performance-based hiring approach pioneered by Lou Adler

  • Test offers systematically before extending them (opportunity gap, compensation expectations, timeline)

  • Close like a sales rep: understand objections, create urgency, negotiate win-win outcomes

💪 What you'll do day-to-day

Pipeline generation

  • Identify target companies and candidates using AI tools, Ashby, and LinkedIn

  • Run outbound campaigns with high personalization and low manual effort

  • Build evergreen talent pools for high-frequency GTM roles

Candidate qualification

  • Conduct discovery interviews that uncover candidate motivation, performance track record, and career trajectory

  • Run discovery interviews and facilitate offer calls, initially supported by Hannah

  • Collaborate with hiring managers (Clif, Markus, Sam) to calibrate recruiting needs

Process management

  • Own candidate experience from first touchpoint to offer acceptance

  • Manage hiring pipelines in Ashby with discipline and transparency

  • Coordinate interview scheduling, feedback collection, and decision-making (supported by automated processes in our ATS Ashby)

Strategic partnership

  • Partner with Hannah to evolve Luminovo's performance-based hiring approach and data-analytics in talent acquisition

  • Bring best practices from the GTM-recruiting world

  • Challenge and improve how we attract, assess, engage, and close candidates

🌍 Location & Work Setup

Required: Based in Germany, ideally Munich or Berlin

Work model: Hybrid—flexibility to work remotely with occasional in-office collaboration

Language: Native fluency in German OR English required (German a huge plus for DACH hiring)

⚡️ Skills, knowledge, and expertise

Just so you know – apart from the language requirements, we purposefully did not create a standard list of minimum qualifications here.

Instead of describing the ideal candidate, we describe the job to be done. Relevant qualifications can come in various shapes and forms, and we want to encourage anyone to apply who thinks they could successfully meet the performance objectives for this role.
