• Sourcing Strategies & Market Insights: Develop and execute innovative sourcing techniques to identify and engage both active and passive candidates. Gather and leverage market intelligence to inform recruitment strategies, including understanding industry trends, compensation benchmarks, and competitive landscape—across both GTM and technical markets.

• Process Creation & Improvement: Design, implement, and continuously refine internal recruitment processes to enhance efficiency, candidate experience, and overall effectiveness.

• Candidate Experience: Ensure a positive and engaging experience for all candidates by maintaining clear communication, providing timely feedback, and upholding Astronomer’s employer brand throughout the recruitment process.

What you bring to the role:

• 8+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with a strong emphasis on both GTM and technical hiring in high-growth companies.

• Deep understanding of GTM functions and technical domains, with the ability to assess candidate fit across a variety of specialized roles.

• Experience recruiting for hybrid roles that require both technical and customer-facing expertise (e.g., sales engineers, technical CSMs, developer advocates).

• Proven experience in building and optimizing recruitment processes and workflows.

• Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to effectively engage and influence stakeholders at all levels.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with a data-driven approach to recruitment strategies and decisions.

• Ability to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment and manage multiple priorities simultaneously.

• Proven track record of conducting executive-level searches, including sourcing, assessing, and closing talent.

Bonus points if you have:

• Experience at a SaaS or cloud-based company.

• Background hiring for technical products or open-source ecosystems.
