Talent Manager

Role Overview

Location: Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Engagement: Full-time | Language: Dutch (native-level) & English (fluent)

As Talent Manager at AdamI, you form the link between attracting strong AI engineers and successfully matching them with the assignments where they make a difference. You bring the commercial drive to close deals and the people skills to build relationships that last.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain a pipeline of strong AI engineers, from first contact to on board at AdamI.
• Match talent and client demand in the form of Fractional AI Expertise and assignments, with an eye for a good fit rather than a quick match.
• Negotiate rates and terms, close assignments, and take personal responsibility for your targets.
• Build lasting relationships with both engineers and clients, so assignments get extended and engineers move on to new opportunities.
• Develop a feel for the AI and tech labor market and know where and how to find the best talent.
• Work closely with the founders and engineering team to understand what expertise is needed and where opportunities lie.

Desired Skills & Experience

• 2 to 5 years of work experience, with a mix of recruitment, tech and sales.
• Proven track record in building and maintaining a candidate or client pipeline.
• Commercial experience: comfortable negotiating, closing, and owning targets.
• Affinity with AI and tech, and genuine curiosity about the people in that world.

Soft Skills

• Just as strong at building a relationship with an engineer as with a client.
• Results-driven and comfortable with targets and variable compensation.
• Independent and able to determine your own approach within a role with a lot of freedom.
• Entrepreneurial, proactive, and comfortable with ambiguity.

Why AdamI?

• A commercial role with a lot of freedom, and a bonus structure that moves with your results.
• Direct collaboration with the founders and engineering team of AdamI.
• A role in which you determine yourself how you build your network and pipeline, without an existing process to conform to.
• You are responsible for your own pipeline, but you won't be doing it alone. Our founders and colleagues are actively involved and ready to support.
• Competitive salary and secondary benefits.
