Whether analyzing blockchain data, developing cutting-edge tools, or collaborating with global organizations, you'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful and lasting impact.

Our ability to identify, hire, and retain exceptional talent is foundational to our mission. The Talent team at TRM is made up of seasoned professionals who have experience hiring world-class Engineering, Data Science, GTM, and People teams for the most notable startups in Silicon Valley. As a Technical Recruiting Manager, you will lead and scale a team of high-performing recruiters focused on delivering top-tier technical talent to TRM. Your success will be measured by your team’s hiring quality, velocity, stakeholder partnership, and operational rigor.

The impact you’ll have here:

• Manage and coach a team of technical recruiters, raising the bar on sourcing strategy, candidate experience, and closing excellence.
• Oversee delivery of high-priority engineering and technical roles; step in on complex searches as needed.
• Partner closely with executives and hiring managers to calibrate, forecast, and course-correct hiring plans.
• Optimize tools, processes, and systems to drive speed, precision, and data hygiene across the recruiting funnel.
• Build a culture of excellence, feedback, and continuous improvement within the recruiting team.

What we’re looking for:

• 10+ years of technical recruiting experience, including 2+ years managing high growth teams
• Proven ability to hire for complex technical roles in high-growth environments
• Demonstrated success coaching recruiters and raising execution quality across a team
• Strategic thinker with strong instincts for prioritization, stakeholder alignment, and problem-solving
• Operationally excellent with experience managing recruiting tools, dashboards, and workflows
• Clear, concise communicator comfortable working with execs and distributed teams

About the Team:

• Our Talent team is fully remote, embracing async collaboration via Slack, documentation, and proactive updates.
• We meet weekly for hiring syncs, sourcing jams, and team huddles to support shared momentum and alignment.
• The team is known for rigor, humility, and craft obsession—we continuously refine systems and raise our own bar.
• Most team members operate with a 4+ hour overlap with PST; we value flexibility and autonomy with accountability.

Learn about TRM Speed in this position:

• Within 72 hours of receiving a new headcount request, the Recruiting Manager ensures an intake meeting is scheduled and reviews sample profiles with recruiters.
• Within 48 hours of initial candidate feedback, partners with recruiters to synthesize insights and evolve search strategy; expects A/B tested outreach to be in-market within 24 hours.
• Within the first week of launching a new search, team has surfaced and messaged 100+ targeted candidates and flagged key conversion levers by channel or source.
• Conducts weekly review of team performance dashboards to identify gaps in pipeline velocity, sourcing coverage, and candidate experience NPS.

Accelerate your Career

• Work alongside top experts and learn every day.
• Embrace a growth mindset with development opportunities tailored to your role.

• Thrive in a culture of coaching, where feedback is fast, direct, and built to help you level up.

What to Expect at TRM

TRM moves fast—really fast. We operate with urgency, ownership, and high standards. You’ll be joining a team that’s highly engaged, mission-driven, and constantly evolving. We offer generous benefits, including PTO, holidays, and parental leave for full-time employees.

That said, TRM may not be the right fit for everyone. We encourage you to:

• Ask your interviewers how they approach balance within their teams, and
• Reflect on whether this is the right season in your life to join a high-velocity environment.
• Be honest with yourself about what energizes you—and what drains you.

We’re upfront about this because we want every new team member to thrive—not just survive.

The Stakes Are Real

Our work has direct, real-world impact:

• Jumping online after hours to support urgent government requests tracing ransomware payments.
• Delivering actionable insights during terrorist financing investigations.
• Collaborating across time zones in real time during a major global hack.
• Building new processes in days, not weeks, to stop criminals before they cash out.
• Analyzing blockchain data to recover stolen savings and dismantle trafficking networks.

• We cultivate a strong remote culture through clear communication, thorough documentation, and meaningful relationships.
