The impact you will make

Marvel Fusion is building the team that will make fusion energy real — and as our (Senior) Manager Technical Recruiting, you will be the engine behind it. You will own recruiting end-to-end, set the standard for how we hire and ensure we always attract the exceptional people our mission demands.

Your responsibilities

End-to-End Recruitment Ownership: Own and manage the full recruitment lifecycle for all assigned technical and non-technical roles - from intake meeting with the Hiring Manager through active sourcing, CV screening, interview coordination and offer management to signed contract. Ensure every role has a clear, prioritised and consistently tracked pipeline in Greenhouse at all times.
Process Excellence: Own and continuously optimise Greenhouse as our single source of truth for all recruiting activity — including pipelines, scorecards, automations and reporting. Ensure full compliance with data protection requirements and generate regular pipeline reports for leadership and relevant stakeholders.
Stakeholder Management: Act as a strategic partner and trusted advisor to Hiring Managers and senior leaders, bringing market intelligence, structured thinking and creative sourcing to every search so that hiring decisions are fast, confident and consistently high-quality. Provide guidance on interview best practices and candidate evaluation frameworks. Proactively manage feedback loops to keep hiring processes moving at speed and without unnecessary delays.
Bar Raiser Implementation: Establish and embed a Bar Raiser structure across all hiring processes, coaching Hiring Managers on interview excellence and ensuring that every offer extended raises the overall bar of the team.
Active Sourcing & Talent Acquisition for Niche Profiles: Proactively source and attract highly specialised scientific, engineering and technical talent – including profiles with little or no LinkedIn presence – through academic networks, conferences, publications, professional communities and direct outreach. Build and maintain a strong, up-to-date talent pool for recurring and anticipated roles
Cross-departmental collaboration: Partner closely with the People team, FP&A and the Chief of Staff to ensure recruiting efforts are always aligned with the hiring plan and business priorities.

What you bring

Demonstrated ability to manage complex, high-volume hiring processes independently and without extensive support infrastructure.
Greenhouse expertise (required): Deep, practical knowledge of Greenhouse as an ATS, including pipeline management, scorecard design, reporting, automation setup and day-to-day operational use. Ability to configure and optimise Greenhouse independently to meet the specific needs of a fast-moving organisation.
Niche and passive candidate sourcing: Proven track record of identifying and engaging highly specialised talent profiles – including candidates with limited or no LinkedIn presence – through academic journals, conference networks, publications and creative multi-channel outreach strategies.
Strong professional network: An established, active network within relevant technical and scientific talent communities, particularly in deep-tech, engineering, laser technology, physics or semiconductor fields. Ability to leverage this network to accelerate searches and access passive candidates.
