About the Opportunity
SOVRA is growing, and the caliber of people we bring in directly shapes the product we build and the culture we keep. Right now, our recruiting function is lean and primarily reactive. We need a recruiter who can — not only search for and identify aligned talent — but also help us build a more intentional, structured hiring process that scales with the business. This role was created to bring discipline and partnership to the Talent function, and to make sure that as we grow, we hire with the same care and clarity we want our hiring managers to bring to their teams.
