You are someone who doesn't just manage requisitions—you run recruitment like an operational engine.

• Successfully forecast and deliver structured hiring class strategy annually, partnering closely with revenue leaders, FP&A, and Training/Onboarding teams to ensure full class fill-rates.
• Partner with business leadership & Head of TA to develop and implement strategic recruiting plans to staff open requisitions efficiently, focusing on minimizing cost per hire and optimizing time-to-fill metrics.
• Act as a project leader across TA initiatives (e.g., ATS workflow optimization, recruitment processes & documentation, interview training, recruiter development, AI workflow automation, & our 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.
• Well versed in employment laws, governmental requirements, and familiar SOC compliance standards.

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.
• High-Volume / Class-Based Background: Proven track record running high-volume, cohort-based, or campus/class hiring cycles with strict start-date deadlines (~200–400+ hires/year).
• 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.
