As Senior Manager of Recruiting for EMEA, you will lead a team of recruiters responsible for non-quota-carrying and R&D hiring across the region, spanning Engineering, R&D, Sales Engineering, and G&A/Marketing/Corporate functions. You'll report to the Director of Recruiting, EMEA, and serve as the primary recruiting leader for Director+ stakeholders and business areas across the region.
Key responsibilities include:
- Lead and develop a recruiting team across multiple disciplines and locations, maintaining clear talent standards
- Coach recruiters to grow from strong execution into independent ownership of searches and stakeholder relationships
- Build deep business and technical context to serve as a credible, consultative partner to senior engineering and business stakeholders
- Combine strategic partnership with hands-on execution on complex and specialist searches
- Apply data-driven rigor to diagnose and fix recruiting problems using funnel analysis and leading/lagging indicators
- Improve signal-to-noise at every hiring stage through sharper role definition, stronger screening, and consistent interview calibration
- Design a research-centric hiring approach for EMEA, including talent mapping, deliberate outreach, and relationship building adapted to European markets
- Partner with People Partners and business leaders to learn from successful and unsuccessful hires, updating profiles and approaches accordingly
- Model Samsara's values of inclusivity, long-term vision, and teamwork in all hiring and leadership activities
Required qualifications: Expert full-cycle recruiting experience with credible depth in senior software engineering hiring; proven experience leading and developing recruiting teams across multiple disciplines and locations; demonstrated ability to build trust and executive presence with senior stakeholders; strong bar-setting and coaching skills; comfort operating across multiple recruiting disciplines simultaneously rather than a single specialism.
Strong pluses include Sales Engineering and/or G&A recruiting experience, Director+ level search experience, and EMEA-scale recruiting leadership spanning multiple countries/markets.
