Role
Who you are
- 12+ Years in Talent Acquisition: A proven track record in both Technical (Product/Eng) and Non-Technical (Sales/GTM) recruiting at scale
- Leadership Depth: At least 5 years of experience managing people, leaders, and large distributed teams
- Operational Mindset: You’ve either sat in a Recruiting Ops seat or managed the function; you understand the "plumbing" of talent acquisition (ATS, CRM, capacity modeling)
- Executive Presence: You are comfortable challenging and advising executive stakeholders, acting as a true talent consultant rather than an order-taker
- Project Mastery: Proven success leading complex, cross-functional projects that require buy-in from Finance, Legal, and Department Heads
- Requirement: Presence in the Campbell office is required a minimum of 3 days per week
- Studies have shown that traditionally underrepresented groups may be less likely to apply for jobs if they don’t meet every qualification specified. WEKA is committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace. If you are excited about this position but are concerned your past work experience doesn’t match up perfectly with the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway – you may be just the right candidate for this or other roles at WEKA
What the job involves
- We are looking for a visionary Director of Global Talent Acquisition to architect and execute our global hiring strategy
- This isn't just about filling seats; it’s about building the engine that fuels our growth
- You will oversee our entire recruiting ecosystem, ensuring we land world-class talent across Go-To-Market (GTM), GA, Product, and Engineering functions
- Strategic Leadership: Partner with executive leadership to align talent acquisition goals with long-term business objectives
- Global Team Management: Lead, mentor, and scale a multi-disciplinary recruiting organization across technical and non-technical tracks
- Operations & Excellence: Lean on your deep Recruiting Ops expertise to optimize our tech stack, streamline the candidate journey, and improve recruiter productivity
- Data-Driven Decision Making: Use advanced analytics to track funnel health, predict hiring trends, and report performance metrics to the board and C-suite
- Cross-Functional Impact: Spearhead global initiatives ranging from Employer Branding and Diversity & Inclusion to structured interviewing and workforce planning
- AI Adoption & Innovation: Identify where AI can act as a "force multiplier” to drive the adoption of AI use cases in the talent acquisition team
- Lead by Example: Maintain your edge by personally owning at least one active req at all times. Whether it’s a niche VP role or a critical technical lead, you stay close to the candidate experience and the hiring manager's reality
Our take
For data-driven organizations, WEKA supplies a platform for storing, processing and managing data across the cloud and on-prem. As an AI-native platform, it supports the transformation of data silos into pipelines capable of fuelling next-gen workloads like AI and HPC.
With traditional infrastructure often hindering data-led processes rather than helping them, WEKA is somewhat of a breath of fresh air for its customers. The company's comprehensive approach, alongside support for both Windows and Linux, enables it to serve many types of organization including those that are just taking off.
WEKA does have a few notable competitors, such as VAST Data, but has stood out thus far by delivering the fastest file system on the market. It has also raised considerable funding, which supports expanded product offerings, and has made notable partnerships such as with NVIDIA.
