- Proven success leading recruiting teams in high-growth, multi-site, or complex organizations
- Strong background using recruiting metrics, analytics, and performance data to drive results
- Experience building recruiting infrastructure, processes, and scalable hiring programs
- Ability to develop leaders, coach recruiters, and create a culture of accountability and performance
- Strong executive presence with the ability to influence senior leaders and key stakeholders

The Ideal Candidate
This role is designed for a builder. Someone who enjoys creating systems, developing people, and solving complex hiring challenges while helping an organization scale. The right leader will be highly analytical, people-oriented, and driven by results, with the ability to balance long-term strategy and day-to-day execution.
What’s in It for You?
This is an opportunity to lead talent acquisition during a period of significant organizational growth.
