Senior Global Talent Acquisition Partner - Italy

Description

At Enlight, we are shaping a future powered by clean, affordable energy.

Founded in 2008, Enlight is an Israeli-founded, publicly traded global renewable energy company and independent power producer, with operations across Europe, the United States, and MENA. We develop, finance, construct, own, and operate utility-scale solar, wind, and energy storage projects – combining entrepreneurial thinking, deep expertise, and exceptional execution to accelerate the energy transition.

As we've grown, we've stayed true to the entrepreneurial mindset that got us here. We move fast, embrace challenges, and empower people to take ownership. We thrive in a dynamic environment where execution moves quickly, collaboration is essential, and smart decisions keep us moving toward our long-term goals.

We're looking for a Senior Talent Acquisition Partner to join our global HR team, based in Milan or Madrid, and play a key role in supporting Enlight's continued growth across Europe.

This role is ideal for an experienced recruiter who already knows the renewable energy industry, understands its talent landscape, and knows how to identify and attract the people who drive the development, construction, and operation of large-scale energy projects.

You'll own end-to-end recruitment across European markets, partnering closely with business leaders and hiring managers across different countries and functions. Beyond managing recruitment processes, you'll bring industry knowledge, market insights, and proactive sourcing capabilities to help us identify exceptional talent and build the teams behind our European growth.

You'll be joining an HR team headquartered in Israel, with its core members currently working remotely from Israel. As we expand our presence in Europe, you'll be an important part of building our local TA capabilities while working closely with the Israeli team and stakeholders across the business.

We're looking for a recruiter at heart – someone who combines strong execution with business partnership, takes ownership, and thrives in a fast-moving, international environment.
