About Us

For more than 125 years, Miele has been a family-owned, family-run company. Based on this tradition, a healthy balance between the demands and the appreciation of our employees is very important to us. Besides following our objective of becoming “forever better” which our employees represent with their specialist knowledge, their ambition and with thinking ahead, we want to ensure that everyone can experience and profit from our good working environment here at Miele. Living and passing on our Miele values, as well as working in teams to further develop our innovative products, are important parts of our Miele culture at each of our 50 locations.

What does it take for a family-run company to become world market leader in the premium domestic appliance segment? It takes more than offering average products, run-of-the-mill service or short-sighted actions. It also requires the aspiration to do it forever better and to be forever better. This stance accounts for a good working environment at Miele and the success of our products. Our colleagues can rest assured that those who live up to our standards of quality and professionalism grow personally and professionally. No matter if they are apprentices or managers.

Make our claim your challenge - whether in Gütersloh, Melbourne or Singapore! Become one of more than 23,000 Miele employees in 50 countries around the world who are committed to making our products even better every day - and help us to expand our innovation leadership.

Your Responsibilities

• Align recruiting consistently with strategic needs and translate business priorities into an effective hiring strategy.

What We're Looking For

• Several years of experience in leading recruiting teams, ideally in a decentralized environment.
• Proven track record of scaling recruiting teams, not just stabilizing them.
• Experience in further developing existing recruiting or HR operating models and bringing efficiency and clarity to existing structures without starting from scratch.
• Experience in organizations that have undergone change and being part of the solution.
• Understanding of how transformation works in practice, not just in theory.
• Understanding of how AI and automation are changing recruiting and having an opinion on where it makes sense and where it doesn't.
• Thinking in terms of impact, not activity.
• Ability to start without a perfect plan but build one while executing.
