Senior Manager, Recruiting

What You'll Do

Lead a team of 2–5 recruiters, providing coaching, feedback, and career development support

Own recruiting strategy across GTM, Product, Engineering, and G&A functions in partnership with department heads

Drive full-cycle recruiting yourself for senior and critical roles; this is a hands-on seat, not just a management role

Build hiring plans with department heads to translate headcount needs into clear, executable pipelines

Define and track recruiting metrics (time-to-fill, offer acceptance rate, pipeline health) and use data to continuously improve

Develop proactive sourcing strategies that reduce reliance on inbound and expand our talent pipelines

Ensure a consistent, compelling candidate experience from first touchpoint through offer

Manage relationships with external recruiting partners and agencies when needed

Contribute to employer brand initiatives and represent our culture authentically to candidates

What We're Looking For

6+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with at least 2 years in a team lead or management capacity

Experience recruiting across multiple functions at a SaaS or technology company

Proven ability to fill technical and go-to-market roles in competitive markets

Strong data orientation; you use pipeline metrics to drive decisions, not intuition alone

Excellent stakeholder management skills; you can push back on hiring managers while keeping relationships strong

A builder mentality: you've improved processes, built programs, or scaled a function before

Hands-on approach; you're comfortable leading a search yourself when the team needs it

Nice to Have

Experience at a high-growth startup (Series B–D)

Familiarity with compensation benchmarking and offer strategy

Experience implementing or optimizing an ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, etc.)
