Copado is the leading DevOps platform for Salesforce, helping large enterprises accelerate their development lifecycle and digital transformation. The company is Series C-funded and scaling globally.
You will lead Copado's talent acquisition function as a hands-on Director, building and coaching a high-performing recruiting team while staying involved in critical searches and sourcing challenges. This role owns the end-to-end strategy and execution for attracting talent across technical functions (Engineering, DevOps, Product), Go-To-Market (Sales, Marketing, Customer Success), and Corporate roles.
Key responsibilities include:
- Own Copado's talent acquisition strategy aligned to annual headcount plans and board-level growth targets
- Build, manage, and develop a recruiting team; set goals, coach on pipeline quality, and create career paths
- Lead employer branding and build talent pipelines centered around New Orleans
- Personally own or closely oversee recruiting for executive and high-priority/confidential searches
- Drive sourcing strategy for hard-to-fill technical roles (Product Management, DevOps, AI engineering) and GTM roles
- Define campus recruiting strategy, including target schools and intern class headcount allocation
- Own TA KPIs: time-to-fill, offer-accept rate, source-of-hire mix, cost-per-hire, diversity metrics, hiring manager satisfaction
- Continuously improve recruiting process, interview design, and scorecards in partnership with TA Ops
- Evaluate and manage external vendor relationships (contractors, agencies, sourcing tools)
- Serve as a trusted talent advisor to senior business leaders, building partnerships to understand organizational needs and align recruiting to team growth
- Bring market insight and sound judgment that influences talent decisions and positions TA as a strategic partner
- Serve as a key member of the People Leadership Team, partnering with People Operations, People Business Partners, and People Development on integrated People strategy
- Help translate annual People Team priorities into shared outcomes across the employee lifecycle
Requirements:
- 8+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, including 3+ years leading a recruiting team, ideally in high-growth B2B SaaS or PE/VC-backed environments
- Track record hiring across both technical and go-to-market functions, including hard-to-fill or specialized roles
- Experience building or scaling recruiting in new geographic markets
- Strong compensation and market-data fluency; comfortable benchmarking across multiple regions
- Experience partnering with an ATS (Rippling, Greenhouse, Lever, or similar) and comfort working closely with a TA Ops/systems counterpart
- Executive presence — able to run confidential searches and advise hiring managers and executives directly
- Bias toward building scalable process without losing the human/candidate-experience side of recruiting
Nice to have:
- Experience managing a global team and setting hiring strategies for distributed teams and new markets
- Experience in a PE-backed, enterprise software company
- Familiarity with DevOps, developer tools, or platform engineering hiring
