VP, Talent Acquisition

As VP of Talent Acquisition, you will own the strategy, systems, and execution behind how we hire the talent that powers Engine. You will lead a team of 20+, including TA managers, recruiters, TA operations, and coordinators responsible for delivering exceptional talent across all GTM, Corporate and Tech functions. This is not a role for passive operators. We’re looking for a builder and a driver - someone who obsesses over precision hiring, enforces talent density standards, and thrives in a fast-moving, performance-obsessed environment. You will serve as a force multiplier across the business as a primary executive stakeholder and key player in achieving our ambitious business results. End-to-End Talent Strategy : Architect and execute the full lifecycle recruiting strategy for all GTM, Corporate and Tech functions (Sales, Marketing, Finance, Legal, People, Product, Engineering etc), aligned tightly with business goals and long term growth plans. Leadership & Talent Density : Build, develop, and manage a high-performance team of recruiters, recruiting managers, coordinators, and TA ops. Drive Talent Density practices and measurement throughout the recruitment process, determining our approach to ensure every hire raises the company average. Operational Excellence : Instill rigorous accountability through recruiting funnel analytics, daily KPIs, and productivity benchmarks. Architect systems that drive consistency, speed, and quality. You will design scalable workflows, drive adoption of modern recruiting tools (Ashby, Covey, AI sourcing tech), and eliminate inefficiencies. Executive Stakeholder Partnership : Operate as a true partner to senior leadership, Finance, and the People team on headcount planning, hiring prioritization, and compensation strategy. Partner with executive leaders and department heads to anticipate workforce needs and build sustainable hiring capacity. You won’t just support the business - you’ll co-author its growth. Interview Quality & Bar Raising : Lead interviewer enablement, implement consistent calibration, and ensure every hire meets our high bar. You will be the guardian of quality - velocity never comes at the expense of standards.
