Senior Talent Acquisition Business Partner (Product, Engineering, AI)

Why This Role Exists

At Tricentis, Talent Acquisition is a business advisory function. We help leaders understand the talent market, define the capabilities they need, and make stronger decisions about the people who will build the future of our products and technology.

As a Senior Talent Acquisition Business Partner supporting Product, Engineering, and AI, you will translate business and technology priorities into talent strategies. You will bring market intelligence, judgment, and technical curiosity to decisions about skills, talent supply, location, compensation, and hiring quality.

You will operate as an advisor, not a transactional recruiter.
