Talent Acquisition Partner - MEA

Powering a sustainable energy future starts with the right people - and that starts with you.

Hitachi Energy is accelerating the global energy transition, and to fuel our growth across the Middle East and Africa (MEA), we're looking for a high-impact, results-driven Talent Acquisition Partner who thrives in competitive talent markets and knows how to engage, influence, and secure top talent across multiple disciplines.

This is not a role for someone who takes a "post and pray" approach. It's for a proactive recruiter who is passionate about building networks, uncovering talent others can't reach, and developing strong, future-ready pipelines across diverse functions and geographies.

As a Talent Acquisition Partner, you will play a key role in driving hiring outcomes and business growth across the MEA region, while partnering closely with stakeholders locally and globally. You'll have the autonomy to shape your approach, backed by a collaborative team and a purpose-driven organisation.

How you'll make an impact

• Deliver critical hires across MEA: Own end-to-end recruitment across multiple functions and countries, using proactive sourcing, market engagement, and strong conversion strategies to secure top talent across the region.
• Sell with impact and credibility: Lead high-energy, consultative conversations that clearly communicate Hitachi Energy's mission, project impact, and career opportunities, confidently handling objections, managing offers, and closing top talent in competitive markets.
• Act as a regional market expert: Build and maintain talent maps and pipelines by country, function, and skill set across MEA, bringing insight into talent availability, compensation trends, and competitor activity to shape hiring plans.
• Influence hiring decisions: Partner with hiring managers and HR to align hiring strategies with market realities, offering data-driven guidance on profiles, assessment approaches, and hiring processes.
• Drive pace and process excellence: Run structured, high-velocity recruitment processes, ensuring efficient movement from sourcing to offer while delivering a strong, consistent candidate experience.
• Strengthen employer brand across markets: Tailor attraction strategies for different talent communities across MEA, leveraging networks, referrals, and targeted outreach to position Hitachi Energy as an employer of choice.
• Build scalable, repeatable success: Capture and share successful sourcing strategies, messaging, and hiring practices to enhance capability across the Talent Acquisition function.

• Proven track record in recruitment: Experience sourcing, engaging, and closing talent across engineering, industrial, infrastructure, or corporate functions (in-house, agency, or RPO).
• Strong consultative and commercial approach: Skilled in stakeholder management, influencing decisions, and navigating complex offer processes with confidence.
• MEA regional experience: Exposure to hiring across Middle East and Africa markets, with an understanding of local talent dynamics, cultural nuances, and hiring challenges.
• Insight and pipeline-driven mindset: Hands-on experience with talent mapping, market intelligence, and recruitment analytics to drive hiring success.
• Operational excellence: Strong grasp of structured hiring processes, assessment frameworks, and ATS systems (e.g., Workday), with a focus on quality and compliance.
• Resilient and adaptable: Comfortable operating in fast-paced, evolving environments, managing multiple priorities across geographies.
• Purpose-driven: Motivated by the opportunity to contribute to the energy transition and attract talent that powers a more sustainable future.
