render - Head of Talent
Requirements
• 10+ years of recruiting experience, with at least 3 years in a leadership role owning a recruiting function at a high-growth technology company. • Experience owning a large, complex hiring plan end to end — including workforce planning, capacity modeling, and executive alignment — at a company scaling from early to growth stage. • Strong analytical instincts: can build and use a capacity model, distinguish leading from lagging indicators, and design reporting that drives decisions rather than just documents outcomes. • A clear and operational philosophy on hiring bar — what exceptional talent looks like, how to calibrate a team around that standard, and how to protect it under pressure. • Proven ability to build and develop a recruiting team: setting goals, developing managers, maintaining engagement, and holding the team to high standards with care. • Exceptional stakeholder management and influence skills — comfortable partnering with finance and executive leadership, setting real expectations, and delivering hard news clearly. • Track record of building recruiting systems and processes that produce predictable, high-quality outcomes at scale • Experience hiring across multiple functions simultaneously (EPD, GTM, and G&A) with meaningfully different sourcing strategies for each. • Familiarity with Ashby or similar ATS platforms, and comfort building recruiting analytics in Google Sheets or similar tools. • Experience standing up or significantly evolving a recruiting operations function alongside the recruiting team itself. • A point of view on employer brand and candidate experience that is grounded in data, not just intuition. • Comfort operating in ambiguity and a demonstrated ability to make good decisions before all the information is in — while being honest with stakeholders about what you know and what you do not. • Prior experience at a developer tools, infrastructure, or cloud platform company, and familiarity with the technical talent market in that space. • If this role excites you but you don’t meet every single requirement, we’d still love to hear from you—your unique experience might be just what we need.
