• Partner with global HR and business leaders to align workforce planning, hiring priorities, and regional market intelligence with organizational goals.
• Champion inclusive hiring practices by implementing sourcing strategies that expand access to diverse talent pipelines across markets.
• Leverage data and insights from Greenhouse and other TA tools to track performance metrics, improve efficiency, and inform strategic decisions.
• Develop and maintain strong relationships with HR and business stakeholders, including regular reporting on progress and key metrics.

• Commitment to fostering an inclusive hiring culture and continuously improving candidate and hiring manager experiences.

Education and Experience:

• 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience across multiple regions (North America, EMEA, and/or LATAM), with a proven ability to adapt to diverse hiring markets.
