Internal Recruitment Manager

We’re Hiring in EMEA: Talent Acquisition Manager

Remote (Ideally in Cape Town, South Africa) | Full-Time | High Impact

We’re Lean Six Search.

Not your average headhunting firm.

We move fast, we punch above our weight, and we’re quietly building one of the most connected executive search firms in the world of supply chain, procurement, and operations.

Our clients are global. Our team is global. And now we’re doubling down on EMEA, which is where you come in.

We’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Manager / Internal Recruitment Manager to lead the charge in hiring our people. Not for clients. For us. This is the rare internal role that still feels commercial, creative, and full of freedom.

Let’s be real.

We don’t need someone who’s “done recruitment.”

We need someone who lives and breathes it.

Someone who can spot grit from a CV.

Someone who knows that the best hires don’t always apply, you have to go find them in the wild.

What You'll Actually Do (No BS):

• Own our internal hiring across EMEA (and support global hires too).
• Build pipelines of smart, gritty, weirdly wonderful people who make things happen.
• Tell our story in a way that stops people mid-scroll and makes them think: “Damn, I want to work there.”
• Run end-to-end hiring—from sourcing to offer to onboarding.
• Partner with leadership to forecast hiring needs and raise the bar with every new hire.
• Drive culture-forward recruitment that balances performance, purpose, and personality.

You Might Be a Fit If You:

• Have 3–6 years of recruitment experience (agency, in-house, RPO—we don’t care as long as you can deliver).
• Know your way around EMEA hiring markets.
• Don’t just recruit—you sell the story.
• Get energized by people, systems, content, and building something from scratch.
• Think fast, act faster, and laugh at the chaos in between.
• Know that humour and hustle are not mutually exclusive.
• Hate vanilla job ads like the one you're not reading right now.

What We Offer:

• 100% remote role (work from Portugal, Poland, Dubai, or your grandma’s beach house—we don’t care).
• Regular global team meetups (we’ve done Colombia, Banff, and Morocco. You’re next).
• The chance to build a legacy, not just a team.
• A leadership team that values action over endless meetings.
• Transparency, autonomy, and a merit-based environment.
• A front-row seat as we scale into new markets and verticals.

You’ll Love It Here If You:

• Crave a role that feels like your own business inside a business
• Want to build, shape, influence—not just fill jobs
• Can be scrappy, smart, and a bit rogue in how you source top talent
• Want to be part of a fast-growing, remote-first, culture-led company

How to Apply:

No generic CVs.

No cover letters that start with “Dear Hiring Manager.” Send us something that shows us who you are, and why you're the one to scale this rocketship with us.
