• Design and scale engineering recruiting programs that institutionalize a high technical talent bar, ranging from targeted industry outreach to delivering structured interview frameworks that mitigate bias and ensure equitable hiring outcomes.

• Use AI, tools, and technology to stay up-to-date on technical recruiting best practices, emerging sourcing techniques, interview innovations, and workplace trends to raise the bar for hiring quality talent.
• Communicate and negotiate effectively and diplomatically across complex offer structures that include equity, using data and strategic influence to achieve desired business results.
• Act as a trusted partner and strong contributor across TA and People Partnerships teams. Influence collaborative outcomes without authority, manage through ambiguity effectively, and take a proactive approach to identifying potential hiring roadblocks before they arise.
