- Flex into high-volume GTM hiring (e.g. Sales roles) during slower Marketing cycles to ensure consistent team support and business impact
- Partner directly with senior stakeholders in Marketing and Revenue to align hiring plans to team goals, navigating ambiguity with clarity and influencing without authority
- Craft tailored sourcing strategies that prioritize creativity, resourcefulness, and inclusion—leveraging tools, networks, and insights to build robust pipelines

- Lead with data by tracking key recruiting metrics, identifying trends, surfacing blockers, and proactively adjusting course to meet hiring outcomes
Here’s what we're looking for:
- 5–8 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with a strong track record in both Marketing (3–5 years) and GTM/Sales (2–3 years)
- Proven success supporting high-volume Sales orgs and managing 15–20+ roles across multiple disciplines with minimal oversight
- Deep experience partnering with senior-level executives and hiring managers, offering strategic guidance and influencing decision-making throughout the recruiting process
- Skilled at sourcing and closing talent across entry to mid-level roles—bringing a consultative and creative approach to engaging candidates
- Fluency in Greenhouse is required; experience with Workday is a strong plus

- Strong candidate assessment skills—you know how to surface core strengths, match candidates to the right opportunity, and elevate the bar for talent across the business
- Operates with urgency, resilience, and adaptability in a fast-changing, high-growth environment
- Brings a first-principles mindset to challenges and constantly seeks ways to work smarter, not just harder
