Process Creation & Improvement: Build and iterate on scalable, efficient recruiting processes that deliver consistency and an exceptional candidate experience.

Diversity & Inclusion: Integrate DEI best practices into every stage of the hiring process to help build a high-performing, inclusive team.
What you bring to the role:
8+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with a strong foundation in GTM hiring and exposure to technical and cross-functional roles.
