Talent Acquisition Associate (3-6M Contract)

Do you have technical recruiting experience across Software Engineering, Software Development, Data Science or Genomic Research? Are you passionate about working with meaning, and available for a 3-6 months contract?

If this sounds like you and you are driven by purpose, Join the SOPHiA GENETICS Talent Acquisition Team as a Talent Acquisition Associate for 3-6 month contract to support an ongoing volume of hiring, and enable us to make a positive impact on the outcomes for cancer and rare disease patients worldwide.

Enjoy the flexibility of a hybrid work schedule allowing 2 days PW home working, collaborating closely with colleagues in our Rolle, CH corporate office.

Our mission

We believe there is a smarter, more data-driven way to make decisions in healthcare and our cloud-native AI powered SOPHiA DDM Platform makes that vision a reality on a daily basis. You will have direct input to our mission to democratize data-driven medicine for the ultimate benefit of cancer and rare disease patients across the globe.

Your Mission

As part of our global talent acquisition team, you will manage full-cycle recruiting & hiring. You will predominantly support hires within our Swiss HQ, but may also support hires in our French offices and field teams across Europe and APAC. Business units you will likely support include Software Development & Engineering, Data Science, Genomic Research, Supply Chain and other Business & Administration functions.

What you’ll achieve:

• You'll have full responsibility for the end-to-end hiring journey, including hiring manager relationships, candidate sourcing & engagement and recruiting administration.
• Be supported and enabled to manage 10-15 hires at any period, through varying stages in their lifecycle.
• Driving positive hiring outcomes, including direct sourcing channels, improving engagement and decreasing time to hire
• Whilst delivering against hires, you’ll be continuously mindful of core value-add activity, including Candidate Experience, Manager Satisfaction, EVP & Brand

We know that every background is different, but to be best set for success we see you bringing:

• 1-4 years experience in talent acquisition and recruiting
• This role would best suit someone already with in-house experience, and would unlikely match someone exclusively from an agency background looking to make their first transition in-house.
• Direct experience with technical hires including Software Engineer & Software Development or Data Science. Alternatively broad recruiting experience for another Scientific, Diagnostic or Software organisation would be valuable.
• You’ll have previous experience owning hires & recruitment processes and be comfortable managing a volume of REQs (+10)
• Full English Fluency (Spoken & Written) is required. French fluency is valuable.

You will be joining an organisation with the patient at the heart of every decision and action, driven by purpose as we pursue exponential growth.

Business recognition and accolades include: 

• World's most innovative companies (Top 10)
• World's smartest companies (Top 50) 
• 100 Best Places to Work in Boston 
• Top 10 European Tech Startup
• Top 10 European biotechs startup to watch
• Top 25 East-Coast Biotech to watch

Our benefits package is comprehensive, but varies internationally in-line with local standards and laws. You can discuss a full breakdown with us, but as a brief overview:

• Sickness and Accident coverage through Helsana
• Meal Vouchers at 90CHF PM with our partner cafeteria
• A fun and engaging work environment, with Rest & Entertainment space, full stocked free coffee machine and free fruit/snacks
• Free parking in an easy to access location

The Process 

We use the power of AI to help our partners make decisions. If you’re utilising AI in your search and application process, why not use some of these prompts, or

‘What impact can I expect to have on the world by working at SOPHiA GENETICS?’

‘I have an interview with SOPHiA GENETICS. What should I know before I meet with them?’

‘I am a *job title* - What can SOPHiA GENETICS offer my career?’

Suitably qualified candidates will be invited through an interview and screening process where you will speak with members of our Talent Acquisition Team, the hiring leader alongside key colleagues and stakeholders from across the business. If you need additional support for accessibility, please contact our TA team for assistance.

We appreciate the value external partners can bring, but we operate a direct-hiring model and we are not looking to utilise agency support at this time. All hiring is controlled by Talent Acquisition, potential partners should liaise through TA and not our hiring teams please.
