Join our dynamic Talent team and be a driving force in our growth! We’re hiring a full-time Senior Recruiter who is energized by the challenge of finding high-impact talent across both technical and senior leadership roles. This strategic role requires close partnership with executives, understanding nuanced org design needs, and engaging senior-level candidates across Product, Engineering, Design, and Operations.

This isn’t your average recruiter role — we need someone passionate about building executive-caliber pipelines, leveraging data to drive results, and thriving in a fast-paced, startup environment. If you have a sharp eye for top-tier talent, love connecting people to purpose, and enjoy solving complex hiring challenges, we want to meet you.

• Ability to influence and advise senior leaders with confidence, data, and market insights.
• Strong track record of sourcing and engaging passive talent, especially at the leadership level.
• A collaborative mindset and a passion for building diverse, high-performing teams.
• Experience building and maintaining trusted, consultative relationships with internal stakeholders and candidates.
• Advanced proficiency with Ashby, LinkedIn Recruiter, and sourcing tools like SeekOut, HireEZ, or Stack Overflow.
• Ability to collaborate in-office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

As a Talent Acquisition Advisor, you will:

• Build and execute recruitment strategies focused on product, design, and engineering roles, emphasizing attracting candidates who thrive in scaling startup environments.
• Develop a strong pipeline of passive and active candidates through creative sourcing techniques.
• Partner closely with hiring managers to understand role requirements and tailor recruitment efforts.
