Independently own end-to-end recruitment for complex and specialized R&D (Product and Technology) roles, using your business acumen and recruiting expertise to architect and deliver on strategic recruiting plans to identify, proactively source, and hire qualified talent.

Design and scale engineering recruiting programs that institutionalize a high technical talent bar, ranging from targeted industry outreach to delivering structured interview frameworks that mitigate bias and ensure equitable hiring outcomes.
