About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Reset the bar: rethink how tem finds and converts engineers from first principles, and run bold experiments rather than copying other companies' playbooks.
Own speed at senior level: take accountability for time-to-hire on senior and staff roles, and strip out the friction that slows great people down.
Lead employer brand and attraction: build tem's reputation as a place the best engineers want to join, through creative, brand-led campaigns and events.
Own the pipeline: run proactive, passive-first sourcing and creative routes to talent and keep a pipeline ahead of demand.
Own workforce planning: partner with engineering GMs to plan headcount, turn vague needs into sharp specs, and calibrate what good looks like.
Run on data: own hiring metrics end to end, use them to find bottlenecks, prove what works, and keep raising both speed and quality.
Put AI to work: design AI and agent-assisted talent workflows that scale the repeatable and free up human judgement for the calls that matter.

Requirements

What you’ll need

A builder and challenger who has reset or reinvented how a team hires, rather than just running an existing playbook.
Creativity in how you attract talent, through employer brand, campaigns, events or other unconventional routes that have actually landed hires.
Strong technical calibration, so you can read engineering signal, hold your own with engineering managers, and tell good from great.
Genuinely data-led, building and using hiring metrics to find bottlenecks, prove what works, and drive decisions.
Fluent, deliberate use of AI to work faster, plus the composure to own workforce planning and most hires in a fast-moving, sometimes chaotic environment.
Experience building employer brand or talent marketing that moved the needle on senior hiring (desirable).
Experience hiring in a regulated or complex domain such as energy, fintech or payments (desirable).
Familiarity with Ashby or similar structured hiring tooling (desirable).
