• Build sourcing strategies from scratch through market mapping, competitive research and targeted outbound campaigns, while managing multiple high complexity searches without sacrificing pipeline momentum or candidate experience

• Advise on compensation and offer strategy and close candidates in competitive markets

• Serve as a trusted advisor to senior engineering, data and product leaders, shaping role scope, leveling, interview design and hiring strategy rather than executing against a predefined spec

• Lead intake and calibration to establish the hiring bar, use market evidence to reset expectations when searches stall and provide leaders with clear insight into hiring health

• Influence headcount planning and role scoping by bringing market, compensation and organizational context to decisions

• Use funnel, pipeline and time to fill data to diagnose search challenges and adjust strategy in real time

• Bring root cause analysis and recommendations, not just flags, and independently make decisions on search strategy, process and stakeholder approach while escalating broader resourcing and headcount decisions

• Mentor recruiters and sourcers on sourcing, stakeholder management and closing while sharing candidates, intelligence and pipeline across the team

• Depth across engineering, data and ML, product, and design, with the fluency to credibly engage senior candidates

• A track record of building the approach yourself on searches where the role, the bar, or the market was undefined

• Strategic sourcing skill: market mapping, talent intelligence, and outbound that builds pipeline without leaning on inbound or agencies

• A reputation as a teammate who mentors, shares what they know, and raises the level of the team

• Equity stake
