- 5+ years of experience in talent acquisition, with a strong focus on scaling in fast-paced SaaS, tech, ecommerce, or startup environments
- Proven track record of owning senior-level or complex hiring processes end-to-end

What the job involves
- As we continue to scale rapidly, we're looking for a Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist to play a critical role in building the teams that power our growth
- As our Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist, you'll be more than a recruiter—you’ll be a true talent business partner. You’ll own the full recruitment lifecycle across multiple departments and work closely with hiring managers to ensure hiring strategies align with our broader business goals
- You’ll join a small but impactful Talent team (currently 1 other TA), where collaboration, ownership, and initiative are highly valued
- Business Partnering: Act as a trusted advisor to hiring managers—supporting workforce planning, hiring strategy, role scoping, and market insights to influence and guide decision-making
- Stakeholder Enablement: Coach and empower hiring managers on interview best practices, structured assessments, and delivering an exceptional candidate experience
- Sourcing Strategy & Execution: Build targeted, creative sourcing strategies for hard-to-fill and strategic roles, including proactive talent mapping and succession planning
- Data-Driven Recruiting: Own recruitment metrics and dashboards; use insights to improve time-to-hire, funnel conversion, and quality-of-hire
- Process Optimization: Improve and scale recruitment workflows, systems (we use Greenhouse), and tools to support efficient hiring
- Employer Branding: Partner with People and Marketing to refine and amplify our employer brand across campaigns, events, and key candidate touchpoints
- Strategic Thinking: Align hiring plans with business objectives and influence decisions at the leadership level
