[Hiring] Director, Talent Acquisition @Rockbot

Role Description

Rockbot is building a People & Talent organization capable of operating at the same high standard on both halves of the function. The People side already has that leadership in place; Talent Acquisition is the remaining gap.

What You'll Own:

• Build and continuously improve a best-in-class Talent Acquisition function — the playbooks, systems, and operating rhythms recruiting runs on day to day.
• Bring AI and automation deep into the recruiting workflow — sourcing, screening, scheduling, candidate communication, and reporting.
• Build and maintain leadership-level recruiting dashboards and reporting that give executives real visibility into pipeline health, hiring velocity, and hiring quality.
• Coach and develop hiring managers into stronger interviewers and talent assessors; raise interview quality and consistency across the company.
• Lead and grow the recruiting team while staying personally hands-on with the company's highest-impact searches.
• Personally run a focused portfolio of Rockbot's most critical searches: executive leadership, Director-level roles, Enterprise Sales/GTM leadership, and other business-critical or hard-to-fill positions.
• Build trusted, consultative partnerships with executives and hiring managers across the business.
• Use recruiting metrics and data to drive continuous improvement and organizational learning.

What Success Looks Like:

• A recruiting function operating at the same level as Rockbot's People organization.
• Scalable systems, playbooks, and operating rhythms that don't depend on any one person.
• AI genuinely embedded in day-to-day recruiting workflows.
• Executives have real-time visibility into recruiting health through dashboards and reporting.
• Hiring managers who have measurably become better interviewers and talent assessors.
• Higher, more consistent hiring quality across the organization.
• A recruiting team that's led well, and a leader who stays connected to the market through their own active search load.
• Trusted partnerships with executives and hiring managers.
• A culture of using metrics — not gut feel — to keep improving.

Qualifications

• High judgment — required, not a nice-to-have.
• Experience across both technical and GTM/Sales recruiting.
• Demonstrated operational capability, not just interest in it.
• A track record building or scaling Recruiting Operations.
• Executive search experience.
• Strong operational rigor paired with genuine intellectual curiosity.
• A player-coach mentality.
• The credibility to be a trusted advisor to executives and hiring managers.
• Comfort operating in a lean organization.
• Background at a high-bar, fast-moving company.
• Remote, with a preference for candidates based on the West Coast.
• Self-driven, with real energy and initiative.

Benefits

• Base compensation range for this role is $160,000–$175,000 in US Average markets and $195,000–$220,000 in SF/NYC markets.
• Final compensation will be determined based on a combination of factors, including experience, qualifications, role scope, and geographic market.
• This role is also eligible for equity and benefits.
