About the job

Our Sales, Customer Success, Support, and Partnerships teams are often the first people a founder or business owner talks to at Mercury, and the people who help them as their company grows. Who we hire onto those teams shapes how customers experience Mercury.

We're looking for a Senior Recruiter to help build and scale those teams. You'll own full-cycle searches across our go-to-market organization, from high-volume roles like Sales Development Representatives to specialized roles in Customer Success and Partnerships. You'll partner closely with GTM leaders and hiring managers, run searches end to end, and help improve how our recruiting team operates as we grow.

Represent Mercury to candidates, sharing our mission, culture, and what it's like to join a growing GTM organization

Contribute to recruiting processes, tools, and documentation across the team

Own offer strategy and closing for your searches

What you'll need

4+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally including GTM roles such as sales, customer success, or account management, in-house or at an agency

Strong organization and attention to detail, with experience managing several searches at once, including high-volume and complex or high-priority roles

Strong sourcing skills and ability to write compelling outreach

Ability to work with recruiting data, such as pass-through rates and time to hire, to plan searches and explain trade-offs

Experience influencing hiring managers and senior leaders with data and clear communication

A track record of owning searches end to end with minimal oversight
