Your role exists to help shape how the team identifies, engages, and secures talent that moves the business forward—especially in challenging and competitive markets.

You’ll guide candidates through hiring processes, acting as an ambassador and ensuring a memorable experience.

What We're Looking For

• At least 4 years of recruiting experience in demanding environments, ideally in tech or high-growth settings
• Strong depth in recruiting for either Enterprise GTM, Product Engineering, Infrastructure, or Science roles
• Comfort managing searches independently in highly competitive talent markets
• Ability to solve problems and improve processes using data
• Experience supporting international recruitment and communicating effectively in English
