Job description

Who you are

• 5+ years of experience sourcing senior or executive-level talent in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
• Exceptional research and market-mapping capabilities, with experience building leadership talent markets from scratch
• Naturally curious and creative in your sourcing approach; constantly exploring new ways to uncover and engage top leadership talent beyond traditional channels
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to connect authentically with senior leaders and represent Peregrine's mission, team, and culture
• Ability to research organizational structures and identify the actual scope and reporting relationships of executives and senior leaders (not simply searching by title)
• Comfortable working with applicant tracking systems and recruiting tools to manage pipelines, track candidate activity, and maintain organized hiring workflows
• Strong judgment and discretion when handling confidential searches and sensitive organizational information

What the job involves

• We're growing quickly and expanding into new industries and geographies. To support that growth, we're looking for a Leadership Sourcer who can help us identify and engage exceptional executive and senior leadership talent across the company

• Partner with recruiting leadership and hiring executives to translate leadership hiring needs into clear search strategies and candidate profiles

• Build target-company ecosystems, identifying companies based on stage, scale, business model, growth trajectory, and organizational maturity
• Map leadership teams and organizational structures within target companies to identify who owns the relevant scope, as well as high-potential leaders operating one level below
• Identify non-obvious and adjacent talent pools rather than relying solely on obvious competitors, titles, or previously known candidates
• Proactively source and engage passive leadership candidates through thoughtful, highly personalized outreach and relationship building
• Conduct intake conversations that assess leadership trajectory, scope, impact, and motivations
• Translate research into actionable market insights: talent availability, organizational structures, and candidate patterns for recruiters and hiring executives
• Maintain organized, up-to-date pipelines and candidate activity within our applicant tracking system and recruiting tools
• Maintain a high bar for candidate experience and discretion, particularly for confidential or highly sensitive searches
