- Own and continuously improve the candidate experience
- Evaluate how AI, automation, and emerging tools can improve recruiting workflows while preserving human judgment and connection
- Partner with People Operations, Total Rewards, Finance, and Legal to ensure hiring practices are scalable, competitive, and compliant
- Manage external search partners and recruiting vendors when needed
- Strengthen our employer brand and how we communicate our story to prospective talent
What we’re looking for
- Significant experience leading Talent Acquisition in a fast-moving, scaling, global organization
- Experience in SaaS
- Experience managing and developing recruiters on an international team
- A track record of partnering with senior executives and influencing hiring and workforce decisions
- The ability to move comfortably between strategy and execution
- Strong business judgment and the ability to connect talent decisions to company priorities
- Experience building structured, consistent, and inclusive hiring practices
- A data-oriented approach, with experience using recruiting metrics to identify problems and improve outcomes
- Strong coaching and communication skills, particularly with hiring managers and senior leaders
- Curiosity about AI and how it can improve both recruiting operations and the quality of talent decisions
- Comfort operating through ambiguity, change, and competing priorities
- A high level of ownership, follow-through, and attention to the candidate and employee experience
You’ll be successful in this role if you
- Build deep trust with leaders and become a valued partner in talent decisions
- Create greater clarity and consistency in how we plan for and assess talent
- Develop a strong, accountable, and highly capable Talent Acquisition team
- Improve the quality, speed, and predictability of hiring
