Upbound is cloud-native computing startup that enables organizations to run, scale and optimize their services across multiple public and private cloud environments. Our fast-growing team is on a mission to free cloud-computing from the grip of a few cloud vendors. Upbound is venture funded and backed by GV (formerly Google Ventures).

We’re seeking a Head of Recruiting to join our team. You will be the company's first recruiter and will be part of a leadership team working on identifying candidates for technical and non-technical roles and to drive strategies for candidate attraction and closing.

In this role, you will:

• Partner with our leadership team to build and execute an effective sourcing strategy, candidate assessment processes, and effective closing strategies. 
• Own and streamline talent operations both tactically and strategically.
• Develop and drive candidate pipeline
• Establish our compensation strategy and framework to help attract top talent.
• Build and maintain a network of potential candidates and top performers through dedicated market research and ongoing relationship management.
• Be the face of Upbound at internal and external recruiting events.
• Set expectations of hiring managers and candidates throughout the hiring process.
• Manage relationships with external talent related resources. 
• Own executive hiring.
• Build, evolve, and perfect Upbound’s employment brand.

You are a good fit if:

• You have a hunter, not a gatherer’s, mindset.
• You are a proven technical recruiter with a track record of hiring amazing engineers.
• You have previously built talent acquisition processes and strategies from the ground up and one or more startups.
• Thinking strategically and working tactically comes naturally to you.
• You have a strong opinion, but it’s loosely held.
• Getting your “hands dirty” with candidate pipelining and engagement is the fun part of your day.
• You are able to communicate and present to all levels of leadership.
• You are willing to work flexible hours as needed.
• You are able to surface more candidates off LinkedIn than on it.
• You sincerely enjoy working at the pace of a fast growing startup.

Come join us as we embark on a new era of cloud-computing.
