Role

As a Senior GTM Recruiter, you will be a strategic talent partner to our EMEA Business leaders in Sales, Channel Partnerships & Alliances and Sales Development. You aren't just filling seats; you are building the teams that form the backbone of our organization. Reporting to the Senior Director of Talent Acquisition, EMEA, you will own the full-cycle execution for high-impact roles across EMEA, balancing sophisticated sourcing strategies with a world-class candidate experience.

What you’ll do (Role Expectations)

Strategic Partnership: Act as a talent consultant to executive leadership, leading kick-off meetings that define not just the "who," but the "why" and "how" of every search.

Full-Cycle Execution: Manage the end-to-end recruitment process for 10-15 concurrent searches, from creative sourcing to complex offer negotiations.

Process Excellence: Champion structured hiring and data integrity. You’ll design interview plans and scorecards that mitigate bias and ensure every hiring decision is evidence-based.

Market Intelligence: Serve as a subject matter expert on the talent landscape, providing hiring managers with real-time data on market trends, compensation, and competitor mapping.

Candidate Advocacy: Build diverse, high-quality pipelines and act as a relentless advocate for the candidate experience, ensuring transparency and respect at every touchpoint.

Who You Are (Success Profile)

You thrive in ambiguity. You're comfortable building the path as you walk it. You thrive in a dynamic environment, seeing ambiguity not as a hindrance, but as the raw material to build something meaningful.

You act like an owner. Your passion for the mission fuels your bias for action. You operate with integrity because you genuinely care about the outcome. True ownership involves leveraging dynamic range: the ability to navigate seamlessly between high-level strategy and hands-on execution.

You are a problem-solver. You love running towards the challenges because you are laser-focused on finding the solution, knowing that solving the hard problems delivers the biggest impact.

You are a high-trust collaborator. You are ambitious for the team, not just yourself. You embrace our challenge culture by giving and receiving ongoing feedback—knowing that candor delivered with clarity and respect is the truest form of teamwork and the fastest way to earn trust.

You are a learner. You have a true growth mindset and are obsessed with your own development, actively seeking feedback to become a better partner and a stronger teammate. You love what you do and you do it with purpose.
