Technical Sourcing Manager II

What you will do

• Lead and directly manage a team of technical sourcers, setting clear performance expectations, delivering structured feedback, and building an environment where sourcers grow into the best versions of their craft.
• Partner with recruiting leadership to shape and execute sourcing strategy across your assigned R&D hiring verticals, defining how we identify, engage, and convert passive talent across engineering, product and design roles. Go beyond requisition-filling to build proactive pipelines ahead of hiring demand.
• Act as a credible thought partner to R&D Recruiting Managers and hiring leadership, translating hiring goals into sourcing strategy and communicating pipeline health, market intelligence, and tradeoffs with clarity and data.
• Define and own the metrics that matter for your team including pipeline conversion, outreach response rates, source-of-hire, and time-to-screen. Use that data to continuously sharpen team performance and sourcing effectiveness.
• Develop and iterate on sourcing frameworks, outreach strategies, and talent mapping approaches that scale, contributing institutional knowledge back to the broader sourcing org.
• Stay sharp on the R&D talent landscape including compensation benchmarks, competitive signals, emerging talent pools, and relevant communities, and bring those insights into your team's work and stakeholder conversations.

What you will need

• 5+ years in technical sourcing or talent acquisition, with at least 2 to 3 years in a people management capacity, ideally in a high-growth tech environment.
• Demonstrated hands-on experience sourcing for engineering and/or product/design roles. You know what it takes to find and engage passive technical talent and can speak credibly to the craft with your team and with hiring partners.
• A track record of building trust with and influencing senior recruiting partners, hiring managers, and business leaders using clear, data-backed communication.
• Comfort defining KPIs, interpreting funnel data, diagnosing sourcing gaps, and driving structured improvements based on what the data is telling you.
• A builder mentality. You create systems and playbooks that outlast any single search, find the root cause of problems, and fix them structurally rather than in the moment.
• The ability to thrive in fast-moving, high-volume environments where priorities shift and the bar stays high, bringing calm and structure where others see chaos.
