- Lead, coach, and develop a team of Technical Recruiters and Sourcers focused on AI/ML, Specialized Tech, and Engineering Leadership hiring; set and drive team goals around pipeline quality, conversion rates, time-to-fill, and candidate experience
- Partner with Engineering stakeholders to translate hiring needs into sourcing and assessment strategies; maintain clear visibility into pipeline health and surface risks and recommendations to the Director of Technical Recruiting and leadership
- Champion recruiting process quality — drive consistency in interviews, calibration, and offer strategy; develop and refine frameworks for evaluating candidates in specialized and leadership-level technical roles

- Strong analytical instincts; comfortable reading pipeline data and translating it into action
- Experience as a strategic partner to Engineering or senior technical leadership
- Ability to operate with autonomy and handle ambiguity in a fast-moving, evolving org
