## Job Description

## What You'll Achieve
- Define and own the global technical recruiting strategy across Engineering, Product, Design, Data, and TPM — translating business priorities into a clear talent plan that scales.
- Manage and develop a high-performing team of recruiters and recruiting leaders across regions, setting the bar and coaching to it consistently.
- Serve as a strategic advisor to senior technical leaders — bringing market intelligence, compensation insights, and a clear point of view on talent, not just execution against a req list.
- Lead the adoption of AI tools, workflows, and automation across the recruiting function — driving meaningful change in how the team sources, assesses, and closes talent.
- Design and continuously improve the processes, systems, and interview infrastructure that allow us to hire with speed without sacrificing bar — including pipeline development, interviewer calibration, and offer strategy.
- Establish and own the recruiting metrics that matter — quality of hire, time to fill, source mix, funnel health — and use them to drive decisions, not just report status.
- Partner with Storytelling to sharpen our employer value proposition in the technical talent community and represent Notion as a destination for world-class technical talent.

## Skills You'll Need to Bring
- 7+ years of recruiting leadership experience with a deep focus on technical hiring across engineering, product, and adjacent functions.
- Proven track record of building and scaling high-performing recruiting teams in fast-moving, high-growth environments.
- High agency, strategic operator who can set direction and execute — equally comfortable in a leadership conversation about talent strategy and in the weeds of a hard search.
- Strong analytical instincts with a track record of using data to drive decisions, not just report them — across funnel health, quality of hire, and team performance.
- Trusted advisor to senior technical leaders, with the credibility and market knowledge to influence at the Staff and executive level.
- Genuine AI-first orientation — fluency with modern tools and an excitement for continuous discovery as the landscape evolves, with a track record of bringing teams along on that journey.
- Deep knowledge of technical compensation trends and market dynamics across global talent pools.

## Nice to Haves
- Background in technical recruiting with experience closing at the executive level.
- Demonstrated track record of leveraging AI to meaningfully change how recruiting operates — not just as a tool user, but as someone who has built workflows, driven adoption, and raised the bar on what the function can do.
- Experience designing and executing diversity recruiting programs with measurable outcomes.
- Strong network within the technical recruiting and engineering talent community.

## Compensation
For roles based in San Francisco or New York City, the estimated base salary range for this role is $250,000 - $300,000 per year.
