Here’s what your day-to-day might look like:
- Design and execute proactive sourcing strategies to identify and engage world-class Product Management and Design talent across Europe.

- Craft compelling, personalised outreach that brings Deliveroo’s mission and employer brand to life, successfully converting passive prospects into active candidates.
- Embed diversity, equity, and inclusion principles into every stage of the sourcing funnel, actively challenging bias in talent identification and channel selection.
- Track and analyse sourcing funnel metrics to continuously optimise channel performance, outreach strategy, and pipeline conversion.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO THRIVE
Our ideal candidate will bring strong expertise in some of these areas and curiosity to grow in others:
- Significant experience sourcing or recruiting Product Management or Design talent within a high-growth global technology environment.
- Proven ability to build high-quality, diverse talent pipelines for senior and highly specialist profiles.
- Mastery of advanced sourcing techniques, including Boolean search, talent mapping, and leveraging alternative platforms to find hidden talent.
- Exceptional communication and storytelling skills, with a track record of building trust quickly and engaging passive industry talent.
- Strong understanding of data and talent insights, using metrics to influence search strategies and manage stakeholder expectations constructively.
