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.

• 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).

• 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).

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
