• Act as a market expert, advising on talent trends, compensation expectations, and competitive positioning
• Drive offer processes end-to-end, including closing strategy for senior and hard-to-close candidates
• Contribute to employer branding and storytelling in the Web3 ecosystem

Requirements

• Proven experience hiring top-tier talent in competitive, high-bar environments
• Strong stakeholder management. You are able to influence and challenge hiring decisions
• Data-driven mindset with a focus on quality, efficiency, and continuous improvement
• Comfort operating in fast-paced, ambiguous environments
