• Manage the full recruitment lifecycle for Product roles, including sourcing, screening, interviewing, offer negotiation, and onboarding, ensuring a seamless and high-quality candidate experience.
• Develop and execute proactive recruiting strategies to attract top Product talent across functions and levels — including Product Management, Product Operations, Product Design, and Product Leadership — and maintain pipelines that support both immediate hiring needs and future organizational growth.
• Advise hiring managers and leaders on market conditions, compensation trends, talent availability, and competitive recruiting strategies.
• Lead sourcing initiatives focused on engaging passive, high-caliber Product candidates through innovative and data-driven outreach strategies.
• Use recruiting metrics to provide insights on pipeline health, hiring effectiveness, time-to-fill, and other key performance indicators.
• Drive recruiting process improvements and implementation efforts that increase efficiency, improve stakeholder experiences, and support scalable hiring practices across the Product organization.
• Ensure data integrity and accuracy within our Applicant Tracking System, maintaining a high standard of system hygiene and reporting.
• Mentor and support recruiting teammates by sharing best practices and contributing to the continuous improvement of the Talent Acquisition function.
• Collaborate closely with Product Leadership, Total Rewards, People Operations, HR Business Partners, and other cross-functional stakeholders to deliver successful hiring outcomes.

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, including significant experience recruiting across Product functions — Product Management, Product Operations, Product Design, and related disciplines — within a technology-driven organization.
• Proven track record of building strong partnerships with Product leaders and influencing hiring decisions through data, market insights, and sound judgment.
• Experience driving recruiting process implementation, optimization, and change management initiatives that improve hiring outcomes and operational efficiency.
• Strong sourcing expertise with a proven ability to build talent pipelines for highly competitive and difficult-to-fill Product positions.
• Experience supporting workforce planning discussions and aligning recruiting strategies with business objectives.
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to leverage recruiting metrics and Product talent market trends to drive decisions and influence stakeholders.
• Excellent communication, organizational, and stakeholder management skills, with strong attention to detail and follow-through.
• Ability to manage multiple searches simultaneously while delivering a high-quality experience to candidates and hiring teams.
• A collaborative, low-ego approach with a passion for continuous improvement and operational excellence.
• Experience mentoring teammates and contributing to a high-performing Talent Acquisition team.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience recruiting for high-growth SaaS, fintech, or technology companies, particularly InsurTech or Product organizations in insurance-related technology environments.
• Familiarity with modern Applicant Tracking Systems, recruiting analytics tools, and workforce planning methodologies.
