  • Ability to drive strategic hiring decisions, embrace calculated risk-taking, and champion data-backed recruiting innovations
  • Proven ability to take initiative, solve complex hiring challenges, and communicate effectively across all levels
  • Demonstrated experience operating in ambiguous, fast-changing environments and adjusting recruiting strategies as business needs and market conditions evolve
  • Proven ability to serve as a thought partner to hiring managers and senior leaders, influencing hiring decisions and resolving stakeholder alignment challenges
