  • Engage cross-functionally with Compensation, HR Business Partners, Benefits, and related stakeholders at key stages of the hiring lifecycle to inform decisions and drive successful outcomes.
  • Build strong relationships with engineering, product, and data hiring managers across the organization to ensure a consistent, high-quality technical talent acquisition experience.

Fan & Customer Impact (Obsessed with Fans)
  • Champion a high-touch, personalized candidate experience for technical talent that reflects the Fanatics brand at every touchpoint, from first contact through offer acceptance.
  • Advocate for diversity and inclusion throughout the technical hiring process, ensuring equitable evaluation and broad representation in every engineering pipeline.
  • Translate complex technical talent market dynamics into clear, compelling narratives that help engineering and product teams make informed, fan-forward hiring decisions.
  • Represent the Fanatics technology employer brand authentically to attract mission-aligned engineers and technologists who are passionate about building world-class fan experiences.

Innovation & Problem Solving (Limitless Entrepreneurial Spirit)
  • Develop and execute innovative sourcing strategies to attract passive and niche technical talent on a global scale, including talent mapping and competitive analysis of engineering organizations at peer companies.
  • Leverage ATS platforms (e.g., Greenhouse), LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, Stack Overflow, technical CRM systems, and other sourcing tools to streamline workflows and enhance pipeline visibility.
  • Identify and analyze key technical talent, pipeline, and KPI data to uncover trends and translate metrics into actionable insights that shape sourcing and selection strategies.
  • Continuously improve technical recruiting processes in response to evolving business needs, using technology and analytics to drive greater efficiency across the hiring lifecycle.

Ownership & Execution (Determined & Relentless Mindset)
  • Own end-to-end recruitment for critical engineering, product, and data roles across the organization, including sourcing, technical assessment coordination, interview loop management, and offer negotiation.
  • Provide regular updates and reporting on technical recruiting progress, challenges, and market trends to senior engineering and business stakeholders, maintaining transparency and accountability.
  • Manage multiple complex technical searches simultaneously with a sense of urgency, precision, and a relentless focus on quality of hire.
  • Use data-backed storytelling to align engineering and product hiring teams and continuously refine technical recruiting strategies in support of Fanatics Commerce's bold growth agenda.

  • Track record of proactive, always-on recruitment-building and nurturing diverse talent pipelines ahead of need through direct sourcing, networking, and talent communities, rather than relying solely on reactive, requisition-driven searches.
  • Proven ability to manage complex, senior-level technical searches (e.g., software engineering, data, platform, and infrastructure roles) and influence stakeholders across multiple functions and leadership levels.
  • Deep understanding of software engineering roles, tech stacks, and the technical hiring landscape, with expertise in sourcing strategies, talent mapping, and competitive market analysis to build diverse, high-quality engineering pipelines.

  • Proficiency in ATS platforms (e.g., Greenhouse) and technical sourcing tools including LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, Stack Overflow, and CRM systems.
  • Experience partnering with engineering leadership to design and continuously improve technical interview processes, including coding assessments, system design interviews, and structured evaluation rubrics.
