Role

• Build and maintain a pipeline of top-tier Product Management talent, proactively sourcing and engaging with passive candidates.

• Find or create new sources of talent. LinkedIn might be a good tool, but you'll always look for new and unique ways to source candidates.

• Screen candidates. You'll serve as the filter of the top of the funnel to increase the hiring team’s time and focus on interviewing the best candidates.

• Juggle a variety of roles at once. At any given time you could be managing the pipelines for and working on filling 5-10 (or more at times) open roles.

• Act as a strategic advisor to hiring managers, providing market insights and talent recommendations to ensure alignment with the company’s growth goals.

• Iterate on candidate feedback. You'll smooth rough edges in the recruiting process by iterating on feedback from candidates or other signals.

• Cultivate relationships with individuals and groups. You'll help build personal relationships through introductions, references, or by facilitating participation with community groups.

• Emphasize diversity. You'll look for proven traditional and creative methods to bring new points of view to the team.

Team members in this role are required to be within commuting distance of our San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City, or Seattle hub.
