About the role

  • Build and scale the Recruiting function to support aggressive growth across R&D, GTM, and G&A, while maintaining a consistently high hiring bar.

  • Serve as a trusted advisor to executives and senior leaders on hiring strategy, talent market dynamics, role design, and hiring trade-offs.
  • Design and implement scalable recruiting processes, including sourcing strategy, interview frameworks, assessment standards, offer architecture, and closing strategy.
  • Build a strong employer brand and candidate experience that clearly communicates our values, culture, and expectations at every stage of the funnel.
  • Develop and enable hiring managers through training, tools, and coaching to improve interview quality, decision-making, and accountability.
  • Use recruiting data and market insights to drive decision-making, identify bottlenecks, forecast risk, and continuously improve outcomes.
  • Embed equitable practices into sourcing, interviewing, and selection processes.
  • Partner closely with People Business Partners, Finance, and executive leadership to align hiring plans with org design and budget realities.
  • Build, mentor, and retain a high-performing recruiting team across sourcers, recruiters, and recruiting operations.
  • Implement lightweight, scalable recruiting infrastructure and operating rhythms that enable speed without sacrificing quality.
  • Continuously assess and evolve recruiting strategy as the company scales, ensuring the function grows ahead of demand rather than in reaction to it.
