Role Description
We are looking for a Lead Talent Acquisition Partner who is both a high‑output full‑cycle recruiter and a thoughtful builder. As a senior individual contributor and a department of one, you will own the execution of all hiring across the company—running efficient, rigorous processes while delivering a consistent, high‑quality candidate experience.
