The Role

We're looking for a strategic and hands-on GTM Recruiting team member [Contract to hire] to join our growing People team and help fuel our next phase of growth. In this role, you'll own full-cycle recruiting for Go-To-Market functions - including Sales, Marketing and Partnerships - partnering closely with GTM leaders to build world-class teams that can take Fireworks' platform to market.

This isn't just a recruiting role, it's a chance to shape how an AI-native company hires.

If you love being at the forefront of both AI and hiring, this role was built for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Own full-cycle GTM recruitment across Sales, Marketing, Partnerships, Solutions Engineering, and Customer Success, with a focus on quality, speed, and candidate experience.
• Partner with GTM hiring managers and executives to understand business needs, calibrate on candidate profiles, and develop targeted hiring strategies. Build and maintain talent pipelines and market maps for current and future needs.
• Proactively source and engage high-caliber GTM talent through direct outreach, networking, referrals, and AI-powered sourcing platforms.
• Collaborate with HRBPs, Compensation, and other People functions to align on role design, comp benchmarking, and market intelligence to inform hiring plans.
• Champion AI-native recruiting practices, from sourcing automation and outreach personalization to pipeline analytics, while optimizing recruiting operations and tooling for a scalable, inclusive process.

Minimum Qualifications

• 2+ years of hands-on recruiting experience, ideally in fast-paced, high-growth environments.
• Proven track record recruiting for GTM roles across Sales, Marketing and Partnerships.
• Demonstrated ability to partner with founders, hiring managers, and senior GTM leaders to shape and influence hiring strategy.
• Strong sourcing and candidate engagement skills, with a knack for identifying and activating top GTM talent.
• Ability to work with urgency while maintaining high quality standards and a thoughtful candidate experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with AI recruiting tools, whether that's AI-assisted sourcing, automated outreach, or workflow automation, and genuine enthusiasm to explore what's next.
• Experience with Talent Operations to implement and optimize recruiting tools, systems, and workflows.

Who You Are (Beyond the Resume)

You're passionate about the AI industry. Not just as a recruiter operating in it, but as someone who follows it, thinks about it, and is excited to be part of building it. You see AI as a tool that makes you a better recruiter, not a threat to the craft. You're curious, experimental, and energized by figuring out how to do things better and faster. You bring that same energy to finding and closing exceptional GTM talent.
