Are you passionate about connecting exceptional people with meaningful career opportunities through next-generation hiring strategies? Do you enjoy partnering with business leaders to shape high-performing teams using state-of-the-art recruiting technology? If so, we invite you to join Nutanix as a Principal Talent Advisor.

In this role, you will be a trusted partner to GTM hiring managers across EMEA, combining strategic human connection with modern AI tools to identify, attract, and secure top talent.

This is an opportunity to make a visible impact in a fast-growing, innovative organisation. As part of a small, highly collaborative team, your ideas, insights, and technological agility will directly influence how we scale and build our future workforce.

Limited travel required: This role is home and office-based within your region, allowing you to focus on impact without frequent travel

Work-life balance: We support flexible working and sustainable workloads so you can perform at your best

Your Role

As a Principal Talent Advisor, you will serve as both a modern recruiter and an AI-fluent strategic partner to the GTM business. Your responsibilities will include:

Acting as a trusted advisor to hiring managers on talent market trends, candidate availability, and data-backed hiring approaches

Managing the full recruitment lifecycle, including intake meetings, AI-powered sourcing, screening, interviewing, offer management, and closing

Proactively building qualified, diverse talent pipelines through intelligent search, market mapping, and direct sourcing

Embedding modern AI tools and talent tech into your daily workflow to optimise candidate discovery, streamline communications, and shorten hiring cycles

Utilising modern ATS/talent intelligence systems to track analytics, manage pipeline health, and maintain data integrity

Facilitating structured, bias-conscious hiring processes that promote fairness, diversity, and quality of hire

Delivering an exceptional, personalised experience to both candidates and hiring teams at every stage

Leading or contributing to hiring strategy discussions and tech-enabled sourcing experiments for critical roles

What You Will Bring

We are looking for a forward-thinking recruiting professional who combines strong execution skills, technological agility, and a people-first mindset.

Essential experience and capabilities:

Proven experience managing end-to-end recruitment in a fast-paced environment, recruiting sales professionals in a software organisation

Demonstrated proficiency using modern AI recruiting platforms, sourcing engines, or workflow automation tools to drive hiring efficiency

Solid understanding of hiring for software sales and presales roles

Strong communication skills, with the ability to influence and advise senior stakeholders using data and talent insights

Excellent relationship-building skills and a consultative approach
