About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Define and own the global technical recruiting strategy across Engineering, Product, Design, Data, and TPM — translating business priorities into a clear talent plan that scales.
Manage and develop a high-performing team of recruiters and recruiting leaders across regions, setting the bar and coaching to it consistently.
Serve as a strategic advisor to senior technical leaders — bringing market intelligence, compensation insights, and a clear point of view on talent, not just execution against a req list.
Lead the adoption of AI tools, workflows, and automation across the recruiting function — driving meaningful change in how the team sources, assesses, and closes talent.
Design and continuously improve the processes, systems, and interview infrastructure that allow us to hire with speed without sacrificing bar — including pipeline development, interviewer calibration, and offer strategy.
Establish and own the recruiting metrics that matter — quality of hire, time to fill, source mix, funnel health — and use them to drive decisions, not just report status.
Partner with Storytelling to sharpen our employer value proposition in the technical talent community and represent Notion as a destination for world-class technical talent.
