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.
