Talent Acquisition Manager (all genders)

Our mission

We’re on a mission to create 10 million human firewalls! At revel8, we redefine cybersecurity training with hyper-realistic simulations that reflect today’s evolving attack landscape. Our innovative platform combines AI-driven multi-channel attacks with gamified, real-time learning to build resilience where it matters most: the people.

Your mission

We’ve grown to around 60 revels, and the next wave of hires will decide what revel8 becomes. As our first Talent Acquisition Manager, you own recruiting end to end across all our teams, reporting directly to our Head of People & Culture Melina. Your biggest challenge is to raise our hiring volume without lowering the bar. You’ll turn a recruiting setup that works today into a repeatable engine that scales with us. You’ve succeeded when the right people join on time, hiring managers trust the process, and top candidates come to us because they’ve heard what it’s like to work here.

How your day-to-day will look like:

• Full-Cycle Recruiting: You run searches across all functions, from software engineers and security specialists to sales, partnerships and senior leadership hires. You stay in charge from intake to signed contract.
• Active Sourcing & Headhunting: You don’t wait for applications. You map talent markets, build long-term pipelines and personally reach out to the hard-to-find profiles who aren’t looking yet.
• Build the Recruiting Engine: You design and improve how we hire, including structured interview loops, scorecards, candidate communication and our setup in Personio. This lets us hire faster and more fairly at the same time.
• Hiring Manager Partnership: You work as a sparring partner to our founders and team leads. You sharpen role profiles, coach interviewers and challenge decisions when the data or your gut says otherwise.
• Data-Driven Hiring: You track funnel metrics like time-to-hire, conversion rates and source quality, and you use them to plan capacity and show leadership where we stand.
• Candidate Experience: You make sure every candidate, hired or not, leaves with a good impression of revel8.

Is it you we are looking for?

You...

• bring several years of hands-on recruiting experience, ideally in a fast-growing startup, scale-up or agency, with a track record across both technical and non-technical roles.
• are a strong sourcer: you know how to find, approach and convince passive candidates, and you enjoy the hunt.
• have built or significantly improved recruiting processes before: you didn’t just follow a playbook, you shaped one.
• can hold your own with hiring managers: you challenge role profiles and push back with arguments, and you earn trust through results.
• think in numbers: you use data to prioritize, forecast and improve, not just to report.
• care about candidate experience and inclusive hiring, and you know how to reduce bias in interviews and job ads.
• are AI-native and tool-fluent: you use AI tools and automation to work more efficient, and you’re comfortable in an ATS (Personio is a plus) as well as Notion, Slack and Google Workspace.
• thrive with ownership in a fast-paced environment and prioritize done over perfect.
• are fluent in English.

Bonus:

• Experience recruiting in cybersecurity, B2B SaaS or deep-tech.
• Experience scaling a team through a high-growth phase, e.g. Seed to Series A/B.
• Experience with employer branding campaigns or talent communities.
• German language skills.

Why revel8?

• Our revelutionary Energy: A team that’s ambitious, kind and excited about what we’re building. We move fast, we have fun, and we treat each other well.
• Own It, Not Just Run It: You shape how revel8 hires during its most important growth phase, with real ownership, direct access to the founders and the freedom to build things your way.
• Shared success: Every team member is part of our ESOP program, so everyone shares in what we build.
• Office-first: In the heart of Munich at Stiglmaierplatz, with flexibility when you need it. Unlimited coffee, table tennis and good vibes included.
• EGYM Wellpass membership for your daily balance.

About us

revel8 is building the next generation of cybersecurity awareness for the age of GenAI. We help organizations protect themselves against modern social engineering attacks by turning their employees into an active line of defense.

It's been a fast ride so far: Founded in August 2024 by Tom and Julius, we moved to the Merantix Campus in Berlin and welcomed Robert as our CTO and co-founder shortly after. We landed our first enterprise customer in March 2025, raised our €5.1M seed round in September 2025, and moved the whole team back to Munich in February 2026. Today, we are around 40 revels working side by side in our new office every day.

Early days. Big mission. Come build it with us!
