Senior Recruiter, LATAM & Canada (GTM + Engineering/Technical) About the Role We are seeking an experienced Senior Recruiter to lead end-to-end hiring for LATAM and Canada across Go-to-Market (GTM) and Engineering/Technical functions. This role is both strategic and hands-on: you will serve as a trusted talent advisor to senior leaders (including Senior Director and VP stakeholders), while also directly executing full-cycle recruiting to hire high-impact talent. You bring a data-driven, market-informed approach to shaping hiring strategies, advising on talent availability, location and compensation competitiveness, and realistic profiles—then translating that strategy into strong pipelines, excellent candidate experiences, and high-quality hires. What You’ll Do Strategic Talent Partnership & Advisory Lead intake and role-definition conversations to build clear, competitive, outcomes-focused profiles (skills, scope, leveling, location). Provide data-driven market insights (availability, competitor landscape, compensation signals, sourcing channel performance) to guide decision-making and unblock searches. Influence hiring strategies including location strategy, profile calibration, interview plan design, and process improvements to increase quality and speed. Operate as a strategic thought partner—challenging assumptions constructively and bringing solutions (e.g., talent mapping, alternative profiles, sequencing hires). Full-Cycle Recruiting Execution (GTM + Technical) Own full lifecycle recruiting, including sourcing strategy, outreach, screening, interview process management, debrief facilitation, and offer close. Build and maintain strong pipelines for priority roles and drive proactive sourcing using tools such as LinkedIn Recruiter and other market intelligence platforms. Ensure a high-quality candidate experience through clear communication, strong process ownership, and thoughtful stakeholder management. Lead offer strategy in partnership with HR/Comp (comp expectations, alignment to ranges, negotiation strategy, closing plans). Stakeholder Leadership & Hiring Process Excellence Act as the primary TA point of contact for senior stakeholders; establish credibility through market expertise and consistent delivery. Provide regular, transparent updates through dashboards and status updates (pipeline health, time-to-fill risks, drop-off points). Partner with HRBPs and Recruiting Operations to ensure compliant, consistent processes aligned to regional and company hiring practices. What Success Looks Like (First 6–12 Months) Trusted advisor relationships established with key stakeholders across LATAM and Canada. High-quality pipelines built for priority GTM and technical roles (reduced reliance on inbound applicants). Improved speed and quality outcomes through stronger intake, calibrated profiles, and data-led decision making. Clear visibility into recruiting performance and risks via actionable reporting and market insights. Core Skills & Experience Significant recruiting experience, with demonstrated success in both GTM and Engineering/Technical hiring across LATAM countries and understanding regional market dynamics.  Preference will be given for experience in high-growth, tech, SaaS, cybersecurity, cloud or product led organisations. Experience partnering directly with senior stakeholders and influencing hiring strategy. Strong capability in proactive sourcing, talent mapping, and pipeline generation. Proven ability to use data to drive decisions (funnels, conversion rates, market insights, compensation signals). Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable presenting insights and recommendations to senior leaders. Fluent Spanish speaker.
