About the role

  • Build the hiring system: Design and run the end-to-end hiring process, from role kickoff to signed offer, ensuring speed, clarity, and quality at every step, while building the system that makes hiring repeatable and scalable.
  • Define roles: Work with senior leadership to force clarity on role scope, responsibilities, and success criteria, surfacing missing decisions and defining how roles are shaped at the company.
  • Design the interview process: Translate role definitions into structured interview plans by determining how to best find signal for candidate traits.
  • Be a talent magnet: Personally hunt for exceptional candidates, using whatever scrappy, creative approaches are needed when standard channels don’t work; make strong candidates excited to join, protecting the bar while setting the tone for the entire hiring process.
  • Set the bar: Run early screening conversations to quickly cut mismatches and surface real signal; manage hiring processes so the talent bar is always upheld.
  • Manage the hiring process: Coordinate interviews, drive timely debriefs, and ensure decisions happen quickly, with clear documentation and follow-through.
  • Diagnose and fix bottlenecks: Regularly review individual role funnels, identify where time or signal is being lost, and implement targeted changes to improve hiring speed and outcomes.

  • Build genuine rapport with people and serve as a credible representative of the company
  • Highly organized and operationally rigorous, able to own systems and processes end to end, keep things clean, and spot breakdowns before they slow hiring
