What you will be doing:

• Adapt and position our employer value proposition for specific business units, building diverse talent pipelines proactively
• Provide business leaders with strategic insights that sharpen hiring decisions and strengthen our talent positioning

End-to-End Recruitment Execution

• Own the complete recruitment lifecycle—from requirements gathering and EVP customization through candidate selection and offer management
• Use AI-powered sourcing, candidate matching, and screening tools to build high-quality pipelines efficiently and move at speed
• Manage interview strategy and facilitate data-driven candidate decisions with hiring managers

Candidate Experience & Engagement

• Deliver a high-touch, personalized experience that reflects our employer brand and values
• Leverage AI-powered scheduling, communication, and engagement tools to keep candidates informed and engaged
• Focus your personal time on the moments that matter most—interviews, offers, and decision points—building relationships that last

Sales Leadership & Continuous Improvement

• Champion AI and emerging recruiting technologies to drive efficiency, speed, and quality across our recruitment process
• Master our ATS, candidate funnel management, and specialized recruiting tools—using them to their full capability
• Analyze recruiting data and metrics to continuously optimize strategy and outcomes

Stakeholder Collaboration

• Build trusted, strategic relationships across business units and regions
• Partner with global TA teams to ensure alignment and consistent execution
• Engage with business leaders at sales sessions and team-building events

• 3+ years of recruiting for sales and go-to-market functions, with demonstrated success building high-performing revenue teams and understanding the complexities of sales organization design
• Proven track record of recruitment success in a corporate environment
• Demonstrated ability to develop and execute strategic recruitment plans

• Advanced proficiency with ATS and CRM platforms
• Strong experience with sourcing tools and modern search technologies
• Hands-on experience with AI-enabled recruiting tools
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word, Excel)

Nice-to-Have

• Experience or subject expertise in the talent ecosystem (onboarding, performance management, employee development)
• Demonstrated expertise with recruiting analytics and data-driven decision making
