Talent Acquisition Lead (Interim)

We’re looking for an experienced Talent Acquisition Lead to step in for a 12-month interim assignment and lead hiring at Mentimeter during an important and exciting phase of growth.

This is a senior leadership role with real influence. You’ll own Talent Acquisition end-to-end, lead a strong global team, and make sure we continue to attract and hire exceptional people — with quality, fairness, and speed.

If you enjoy turning strategy into action, working close to the business, and building high-performing teams that deliver measurable results, you’ll feel right at home.

The role, in a nutshell

As Talent Acquisition Lead, you are accountable for how Mentimeter hires — today and tomorrow.

You lead our Talent Team:

• 3 Talent Partners in Stockholm
• 1 Talent Partner in Toronto (dotted line)
  
  

You report to VP People and are part of the People & Culture Leadership Team, with shared responsibility for the success of Mentimeter’s people, culture, and long-term growth. 

This is a hands-on leadership role, strategic where it matters and operational where it counts. You will build on what is already working, improve our practices, make bets and test out what you believe in. 

Why this role matters

At this level, Talent Acquisition is a business enabler.

Your impact comes from translating company and department strategy into clear, actionable hiring plans. From catalyzing and implementing great internal and external recruitment practices. And from making sure we consistently hire people who will thrive, perform, and grow with us, to deliver on our ambitious 3 year strategy. 

You’ll show results through:

• Strong delivery against our Headcount Growth Plan
• High quality of hire and successful onboarding outcomes
• Confident hiring decisions from leaders across the company
• Efficient, inclusive, and fair hiring processes that scale
• A candidate experience that reflects our culture and ambitions 

In short: the right people, in the right roles, at the right time. 

What you’ll do

• Own and lead Talent Acquisition at Mentimeter — strategically and operationally
• Turn business and people strategy into clear hiring priorities and plans
• Lead, coach, and develop a high-performing global TA team
• Partner closely with leaders, Finance, and People & Culture to align hiring with growth plans and budgets
• Continuously improve how we attract, assess, and hire talent — with quality, structure, and fairness
• Strengthen internal mobility, proactive sourcing, and future-focused talent pipelines
• Use data to guide decisions, spot risks, and improve outcomes
• Ensure a strong, consistent candidate and hiring manager experience across markets
  
  

We believe you have

• 8+ years of experience in Talent Acquisition, as both a practitioner and a leader
• At least 4 years of people leadership experience, with direct reports
• Strong ability to operate independently in standard and complicated work
• Confidence in turning strategy into execution and measurable results
• Experience partnering with senior leaders and influencing hiring decisions
• A pragmatic, data-informed approach — without losing the human perspective
• A leadership style that builds trust, clarity, and momentum

You’re self-going, take ownership of how resources are used, and know when to ask for support in more complex leadership situations.

Why Mentimeter

At Mentimeter, Talent Acquisition isn’t a support function — it’s a strategic capability.

You’ll join a company with high ambitions, strong values, and a genuine belief that great people build great products. This interim role comes with real responsibility, visibility, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact — fast. Since this is a parental leave cover, we will look for candidates who can hit the ground running. 

If that sounds exciting, we’d love to hear from you.

Pay Range

We believe in equal pay for equal work and impact — that’s why we share salary ranges openly. For this role, the salary range is 71 000 SEK – 82 000 SEK, depending on scope, experience, and seniority.

The final offer is based on a holistic assessment through our recruitment process, including business cases, tests, structured interviews, and reference checks.
