Who you are

• If you’re energized by the idea of rolling up your sleeves, getting your hands dirty, and leaving things better than you found them, this is the kind of challenge that will stretch and excite you
• 3-4 years of full-cycle recruiting experience (SaaS/tech preferred)
• Experience hiring for GTM roles (Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, etc.)
• Strong sourcing capability and comfort managing multiple concurrent searches
• Proficiency with LinkedIn Recruiter and Greenhouse
• You’re the kind of person who creates momentum instead of waiting for ideal conditions. When something needs to move, you move it
• You take real ownership. You don’t wait to be told what to do, and you figure them out
• You’re hands-on and grounded. You’re just as comfortable building the strategy as you are doing the sourcing, running the process, and closing the candidate
• You’re naturally curious. You ask thoughtful questions, dig deeper than surface-level answers, and genuinely want to understand how things work and how they could work better
• You’re wired for improvement. “Good enough” doesn’t sit right with you. You’re always looking for smarter, simpler, more effective ways to operate
• And when things change (because they will) you stay steady. Ambiguity doesn’t rattle you. You bring clarity, focus, and forward motion
• If you’re ready to build something meaningful, with ownership, visibility, and impact — we’d love to talk

• Lead 5–8 searches at a time across functions and levels
