• Act as a project leader across TA initiatives (e.g., ATS workflow optimization, interview training, recruiter development, AI workflow automation, recruitment event strategy). Take projects from concept to roll‑out with minimal oversight.

• Hands‑On Leadership: Lead full‑lifecycle recruitment strategic, confidential, or senior leadership roles from time to time.

• Ensure a consistent and positive corporate image throughout all recruiting campaigns and candidate interactions.

• Establish operational objectives and modify company policies that affect immediate operations and company‑wide staffing compliance.

Who You Are:

• A problem solver with a demonstrated ability to think conceptually and apply in‑depth knowledge of organizational objectives to solve complex staffing needs.

• A leader with a proven track record of managing and developing high‑performing recruitment teams.

• A leader with the ability to influence and persuade senior management and stakeholders in sensitive situations while preserving professional relationships.

• Exceptional communicator with the ability to convince stakeholders on desired departmental outcomes.

• Data driven with experience analyzing data to drive strategy and measure the success of larger projects contributing to multiple areas of the organization.

What You'll Bring:

• Experience: 8+ years of full‑lifecycle recruiting experience, with 2‑5 years of direct people‑management experience leading corporate recruiting teams. Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.

• Specialized / IC Track Record: Knowledge and proven success leading teams that recruit across diverse professional, corporate, or technical disciplines (tech, product, marketing, data science & analytics, finance, & people function)

• Metrics & Operational Fluency: Advanced ability to analyze recruitment KPIs (funnel conversions, recruiting sources, req loads, time to fill) and present actionable dashboards to senior leadership.

• Project Management: Demonstrated success launching TA projects, process overhauls, or tooling implementations from discovery to execution.

• Executive Presence & Full‑Cycle Ability: Comfortable engaging senior stakeholders and running occasional high‑impact or executive searches directly.
