What you need

• We need someone with 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience who has scaled GTM and Sales teams at high-growth startups (Series C+). You should be comfortable operating in ambiguity, partnering directly with C-suite leaders, and building recruiting infrastructure from scratch. A track record of hiring Enterprise AEs and senior GTM leadership roles is a must, bonus points if you've built out first-in-seat roles and can quantify your recruiting impact with hard metrics.
