[Hiring] Lead Recruiter @Ramp

Role Description

Ramp is hiring a Lead Recruiter to own Director-level and above hiring across our G&A and business functions. You will lead some of the company’s most critical leadership searches, partnering directly with senior stakeholders to identify and hire leaders who will shape Ramp’s next stage of growth.

You will own searches from initial scoping through close, partnering directly with executives and senior leaders across the business. You will be expected to:

• Develop real fluency in each area you support.
• Translate ambiguous business needs into clear hiring strategies.
• Bring an independent point of view on talent.

This is a hands-on role for someone who is equally strong at research, assessment, stakeholder partnership, and closing. You should be comfortable:

• Challenging assumptions.
• Navigating sensitive and confidential searches.
• Creating structure without slowing the business down.

You should be a self-starter who thrives in ambiguity, builds pipelines from scratch, and takes ownership of moving searches forward even when the role, target profile, or process is still taking shape.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience.
• A track record of independently leading complex senior-level searches from initial scoping through accepted offer.
• Ability to advise senior leaders, challenge requirements, and influence hiring decisions through clear communication, market insight, and data.
• Demonstrated ability to build fluency in unfamiliar functions, context-switch across very different searches, and maintain strong judgment as priorities and scope change.
• A high level of ownership and comfort with ambiguity.
• Strong closing skills, including experience navigating competing offers, senior candidates, and sensitive searches.

Requirements

• Prior experience in executive search or a dedicated leadership recruiting role, particularly across G&A or business functions.
• Experience partnering directly with CEOs or other C-suite leaders on critical hires.
• Experience improving interview architecture, scorecards, market maps, or recruiting processes where structure was limited or still being built.
• Experience developing AI-enabled recruiting workflows that were adopted beyond your own individual searches.

• Health and wellness stipend
