As a remote first organisation our outlook is simple; to hire the best global talent regardless of location, culture or background. We are proud that our hiring process is totally unique, with our business fully accountable for attracting their own talent with close partnership from our team.

With ambitious growth plans for 2022 and beyond, we are seeking a Talent Acquisition Partner to help drive our talent attraction process, and bring valuable insights on selecting game changing talent.

We are trailblazing in how Talent Acquisition drives true value in selecting talent.

Our role is a unique opportunity to join a team that add real value to how we hire talent at Canonical. We are looking for much more than pure sourcing and direct hiring experience.

This role will be based in the EMEA region.
