Talent Specialist – Marketing & Growth (Remote)

About the role

Pangolin, a B2B marketing agency for companies with long sales cycles (SaaS, climate tech, enterprise software), is hiring a full-time Talent Specialist in Marketing & Growth. The role is 100% remote and reports to the HR Generalist. You will own hiring end to end for a set of roles, starting with a strategy rather than a job post, and build talent maps of where strong marketers, strategists and account leads work.

Key responsibilities

• Build a hiring strategy for each role: profile, level, salary range, source cities and channels, including internship colleges
• Benchmark how other agencies hire for similar roles and adapt the approach
• Choose the right sourcing channel for each role and keep talent maps current
• Design AI workflows for market mapping, benchmarking, screening notes and reporting
• Shape assignments and live working sessions to evaluate candidates, treating AI use as something to observe and grade
• Screen, interview, debrief and close, with written reasoning, and track results in the hiring funnel
• Treat every candidate, hired or not, with respect and clarity

Required profile

• 2 to 4 years of end-to-end hiring, ideally for marketing, creative, consulting or other business roles at an agency, startup or professional services firm
• Has closed offers themselves, not only sourced for others
• Curious about the work behind the CV, comfortable with evidence and research, and able to explain the reasoning behind recommendations
• Clear writing and intellectual honesty; a background in psychology, research, economics or marketing is a plus

Candidates apply with a single short answer (under 200 words) about a hire they got wrong and what it taught them, followed by a 30-minute screening call, a take-home assignment and a live interview.
