• Serve as a trusted advisor to hiring leaders by providing clear perspectives on the market, candidate quality, pipeline health, search challenges, and closing considerations
• Experiment with and integrate AI-powered tools and research platforms to elevate sourcing efficiency and talent discovery

What you bring

• Experience building executive talent communities or pipelines tied to long-term succession and organizational planning
• Strong research and sourcing capabilities, including experience with market mapping, competitive intelligence, and talent pipelining
• Sound judgment and discretion when handling confidential searches, sensitive candidate information, and organizational planning discussions
• Ability to assess leadership talent beyond résumé qualifications, including scope, impact, operating style, motivations, and alignment with organizational needs
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to develop compelling and highly personalized candidate outreach and messaging
• Ability to manage multiple complex searches and shifting priorities while maintaining a high level of organization and attention to detail

What we offer

• Performance-driven compensation with multipliers for outsized impact, bonus programs, equity ownership, and 401(k) matching.
• Best-in-class benefits to fuel your work, including 100% paid health insurance for employees with 90% coverage for dependents.
