- Tell the Preply story compellingly, leveraging product and business understanding to attract top talent
- Use data to drive decisions: track funnel metrics (conversion, time-in-stage, source of hire), diagnose quality drops, adjust approach
- Spot and fix process gaps; bring actionable suggestions for improvement
- Support Engineering hiring when priorities require it; maintain credible conversations with technical stakeholders
- Collaborate with Employer Branding on visibility and attraction for Tech & Product roles
