Head of Recruitment (LatAm)

We're looking for a Head of Recruitment who can own hiring strategy and execution end to end for a fast-growing, globally distributed team. This role is built for a scrappy, systems-minded leader who knows how to recruit at scale for remote roles, move fast without sacrificing quality, and build repeatable hiring engines from the ground up.

You understand the Latin American talent market, know where to find strong candidates across executive support, marketing, technical, and operational functions, and can build pipelines that consistently deliver quality hires from the region.
