About the Role
We are looking for an Employer Brand Business Partner to shape how we are perceived as an innovative technology company by the global tech talent community.
This role will focus on translating complex technology into compelling narratives, building a credible and differentiated employer brand, and driving strategic initiatives that attract and convert top technical talent.
You will define and execute strategies to improve conversion from consideration to ideal employer among tech talent.
You will partner closely with engineering leaders, talent acquisition, and cross-functional teams to bring our technology, culture, and impact to life-moving beyond awareness to trust, preference, and action.
What We're Looking For

- A storyteller who can make complex technology accessible and engaging;
- A builder who is comfortable operating from strategy through to execution;
- A partner who can influence without authority and drive alignment across teams;
- Someone who brings an outside-in perspective on how top tech companies build credibility with talent.
Why Join Us

- Work directly with leaders to tell stories that matter-from innovation to impact;
- Play a critical role in attracting the next generation of world-class technical talent;
- Be part of a fast-moving environment where your work drives real, visible outcomes.
Key Responsibilities:
- Act as a strategic partner to engineering leaders and talent acquisition teams, identifying and aligning on hiring priorities and talent challenges;
- Leverage market insights, competitor benchmarking, and talent research to inform employer brand positioning and differentiation;
- Identify priority tech audiences (e.g., backend, ML, infrastructure) and tailor targeted messaging and content approaches;
- Partner with engineering and tech leaders to surface content angles (e.g., translate complex technical work, problem-solving, decision-making, impact) and develop them into clear, engaging, and authentic stories for target audiences;
- Partner with creative and social teams to develop high-impact content (video, editorial, social, long-form) focused on tech innovation and culture to ensure consistency, quality, and effectiveness of storytelling;
- Drive distribution across key channels (e.g., LinkedIn, GitHub, tech communities) to maximize reach and engagement;
