Traveler-Friendly Insight

Grafana Labs is 100% remote with 1,600+ team members across 40+ countries — one of the most established remote-first cultures in tech. This role is inherently location-flexible within the EMEA region, as compensation bands are listed for UK, Ireland, and Spain, but the company explicitly notes that other markets can be discussed with a recruiter.

Timezone considerations: While no fixed hours are stated, recruiting work — especially coordinating interviews and engaging candidates — typically requires overlap with European business hours (roughly UTC+0 to UTC+3). This makes the role well-suited for nomads based in Western or Central Europe, East Africa, or the Gulf region, but less convenient from Southeast Asia or the Americas.

Visa angles for EMEA nomads:

  • Portugal: Digital Nomad Visa (D8) is viable for non-EU applicants; Lisbon cost of living on ~€95k EUR salary leaves strong disposable income.
  • Spain: Spain's Digital Nomad Visa suits non-EU hires; Barcelona or Valencia are popular bases. The Spain salary band (€73k–€95k) aligns well with local costs.
  • Georgia (Tbilisi): Remotely Green visa allows 1-year stays, very low cost of living (~$1,200–$1,800/month), making a UK or Irish salary highly advantageous.

Travel-relevant perks: The in-person onboarding event is a notable perk — a paid trip to meet your cohort. The 30-day annual leave policy (plus 3 company shutdown days) gives meaningful travel windows. No specific coworking or equipment stipend is mentioned, but Grafana's maturity as a remote company suggests structured remote support exists.

The Opportunity

You will partner closely with our Talent Team to develop a deep understanding of our hiring needs, challenges, organizational structure, and individual team dynamics. In this role, you will own full-cycle recruitment — from sourcing and engaging passive and active talent globally, to guiding candidates through our end-to-end hiring process, to generating offers and transitioning new hires to our People Ops Specialist for onboarding.

You will act as a key internal stakeholder, collaborating across teams to manage headcount reconciliation, oversee compensation alignment and equity, and coordinate and participate in internal interviews. You will also be responsible for ensuring recruitment projects are delivered on time and that all milestones and deliverables are met. This role requires exceptional administrative strength, including the ability to navigate multiple documents and systems while adhering to structured, process-driven workflows.

  • Demonstrate exceptional organizational skills, effectively managing multiple roles, priorities, and deadlines while maintaining attention to detail throughout the day.
  • Provide timely, clear, and proactive updates to hiring managers and business stakeholders, anticipating needs and addressing issues before they arise.
  • Operate with a proactive mindset, staying one step ahead of recruiting workflows to prevent bottlenecks and ensure a smooth, efficient hiring experience.
  • Sourcing is a primary part of your role. You are confident in engaging passive candidates and utilizing the team's networks to engage with candidates appropriately.

What Makes You a Great Fit

  • 5+ years of recruiting experience working with senior leaders in the SaaS/Tech space.
  • 3+ years specializing in Sales Recruiting.
  • Experience working in a remote-first company where communication is key.
  • Comfortable in a high-paced environment; you embrace change and ambiguity.
