This is a hands-on people leadership role responsible for recruiting performance across one or more business functions, such as Engineering, Product & Design, or GTM & G&A.
Key responsibilities include leading, coaching, and developing Talent Acquisition Partners through clear expectations, ongoing feedback, career development, and performance management.

You'll foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, inclusion, strong judgment, and continuous improvement.
You will translate business priorities and hiring plans into actionable recruiting strategies, team priorities, and execution plans. You'll establish a high bar for recruiting excellence and ensure consistent execution from intake and search strategy through candidate assessment, offer, and close. You'll review search performance, pipeline health, hiring velocity, and team capacity to identify risks and drive accountability for outcomes, providing guidance and hands-on support for complex, high-priority, or executive searches when needed.
You'll build trusted relationships with senior leaders and serve as a strategic advisor on hiring priorities, talent markets, workforce needs, and recruiting strategy. You'll help leaders navigate talent availability, hiring tradeoffs, timelines, and market realities while maintaining a consistently high hiring bar. You'll proactively identify hiring risks and partner with Talent Acquisition Partners and business leaders to develop solutions.
You'll bring expertise and comfort with recruiting data and market insights to assess performance, identify hiring risks, and improve team and search outcomes. You'll use pipeline, funnel, hiring velocity, capacity, and market data to identify trends and guide recruiting priorities and decisions. You'll collaborate closely with Sourcing, Talent Acquisition Operations, and TA leadership to align recruiting strategies, resources, and priorities with business needs.
