💻 Role

As a Senior Product Recruiter, you’ll manage end-to-end recruiting and act as a strategic talent partner for our product teams. You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Build and maintain a pipeline of top-tier senior Product Management talent, proactively sourcing and engaging with passive candidates.

• Source top talent. You’ll leverage AI tooling and partner with hiring managers to reach top candidates and explore creative channels beyond LinkedIn.

• Screen candidates. You'll serve as the filter of the top of the funnel to increase the hiring team’s time and focus on interviewing the best candidates.

• Act as a strategic advisor to hiring managers, providing market insights and talent recommendations to ensure alignment with the company’s growth goals.

• Iterate on candidate feedback. You'll smooth rough edges in the recruiting process by iterating on feedback from candidates or other signals.

• Cultivate relationships with individuals and groups. You'll help build personal relationships through introductions, references, or by facilitating participation with community groups.

• Emphasize diversity. You'll look for proven traditional and creative methods to bring new points of view to the team.

We offer flexibility to work from home or from one of our global office hubs, and we value in-person time for planning, problem-solving, and connection. Team members in this role must live within commuting distance of our San Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles, or NYC hub.
