- Strengthen stakeholder management by setting clear communication rhythms, surfacing risks early, and driving decisive, aligned hiring decisions
- Train and enable interviewers and hiring managers on structured interviewing, consistent evaluation, and inclusive assessment practices
- Track team performance and hiring health (e.g., pipeline coverage, stage conversion, time-to-fill) and continuously improve workflows as the business evolves
Experience You Bring

- Prior people leadership experience (or clear, demonstrated experience leading through influence) in a fast-moving environment
- Player-coach approach with the ability to balance team leadership and personal recruiting workload
- Strong stakeholder management skills, including partnering with senior leaders and navigating competing priorities with clarity and calm
