Every hire on TRM's recruiting team is a force multiplier for our mission: the faster we scale Sales, Post-Sales, and G&A, the faster our blockchain intelligence reaches the investigators, compliance teams, and agencies working to stop financial crime. As a Senior G&A Recruiter, you'll run full-cycle recruiting across our highest-priority business functions at one of the most consequential moments in TRM's growth. You'll own TRM's most important G&A searches: senior and specialized roles that shape how the company operates and how sustainably we can pursue building a safer financial system.

You'll partner directly with executives and hiring managers to translate ambitious business goals into concrete hiring plans, design candidate experiences that reflect the seriousness of our mission, and build the scalable recruiting practices a globally distributed, async-first company runs on. Your impact will show up not just in who joins TRM, but in how well we compete for world-class talent as we grow.

The impact you'll have:

• Own full-cycle recruiting for senior and specialized G&A searches across Strategic Finance, Legal, People, Operations, and other corporate functions.

• Act as a strategic talent partner to executive stakeholders; advising on market dynamics, candidate calibration, hiring strategy, and close approach.

• Build and execute targeted sourcing strategies that identify, engage, and close exceptional G&A talent from high-growth technology, fintech, crypto, public sector, and financial services environments.

• Develop deep market maps for priority searches that can include competitive talent, high-performing corporate functions, and referral-driven networks.

• Create an exceptional candidate experience for senior and specialized talent, so every touchpoint reflects TRM's talent bar, mission, and operating principles.

• Use data, market insight, and funnel conversion metrics to diagnose search health, influence hiring teams, and adjust strategy in real time.

• Quickly calibrate hiring teams by presenting an initial slate of five profiles, then drive urgency and decision quality through structured feedback and timely hiring decisions.

• Continuously improve G&A recruiting from intake quality, scorecard alignment, sourcing strategy, debrief rigor, and offer execution.

• Serve as a craft leader on the Talent team, raising the bar for sourcing, stakeholder management, candidate engagement, and strategic search execution.

What we're looking for:

• 7+ years of recruiting experience, with deep experience owning senior G&A searches in high-growth technology companies.

• Proven success hiring senior and specialized talent across Strategic Finance, Legal, People, Operations, and other corporate functions.

• Strong search fundamentals including market mapping, talent intelligence, passive candidate engagement, confidential search management, and senior-level closing.

• The ability to quickly understand complex corporate roles across finance, legal, compliance, people, operations, and business-critical leadership.

• Strong analytical ability to interpret recruiting metrics, funnel health, conversion rates, and pipeline quality with ability to translate them into action.

• Exceptional stakeholder management that includes building trust, influencing senior leaders, pushing back thoughtfully, and operating as a strategic advisor throughout the process.

• Excellent written and verbal communication, including synthesizing market insight, candidate tradeoffs, and search progress clearly for executive audiences.

• High ownership, autonomy, persistence, and judgment in navigating ambiguous, confidential, business-critical searches.

• A demonstrated ability to balance speed with quality while holding a high talent bar for G&A hiring.

• Our talent team is fully remote and async-first. We keep work moving across time zones through Slack, thorough documentation, and proactive updates.

• We stay tightly aligned through weekly hiring syncs, team sourcing syncs, and bi-weekly team meetings where we solve challenges together.
