  • Evaluate and evolve our hiring teams 
  • Consistently source, build, and deliver robust, diverse talent pipelines for ready-now and ready-later talent pools 
  • Attend and host meet-ups and events to tie into our ready later talent strategy 
  • Stay abreast of market trends in the technology industry 
  • Extend, negotiate, and successfully close candidates

Experience you may bring:

  • 8+ years of end-to-end recruitment experience
  • Demonstrated ability to build strategic partnerships with business leaders 
  • Ability to coach best practices 
  • Always learning mindset, and a builder, owner mentality 
  • Experience of working in an internal recruiting organisation, in a high-growth tech company
