Head of Technical Recruiting

Who We Are Notion is the collaborative AI workspace where teams and agents think together . We're building one place where your knowledge, projects, meetings, and AI tools live side by side, so work feels faster, clearer, and less fragmented. Millions of individuals, small teams, and large companies run their work on Notion. Notinos (our employees) are customer zero in bringing this future of work to life. We care about craft, humanity, and building things that last — not just shipping the next feature, but setting a standard for how modern teams (with humans and agents working together) think and execute. About the Role As the Global Head of Technical Recruiting, you will play a critical role in advancing our mission by leading the growth of our Engineering, Product, and Design organizations. You will partner closely with our CTO and Co-Founder to thoughtfully build our global technical teams. You will lead a rigorous, high-performing technical recruiting organization focused on attracting talent that excels in craft and aligns with our company values. You will also collaborate with the Head of Recruiting, Head of Recruiting Operations, and our Staff team to scale our talent through rigorous, repeatable processes. You set a high bar for talent and have a strong understanding of the global technical talent market. You are “AI-first” in how you work—excited to experiment, learn quickly, and help the team adopt AI thoughtfully to improve recruiting quality, speed, and candidate experience. This role can be based in either San Francisco or New York City. We work from our offices on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays (our Anchor Days) because we do our best thinking and building together in person. We’re looking for someone who’s excited to work alongside the team during those days. What You'll Achieve Define and own the global technical recruiting strategy across Engineering, Product, Design, Data, and TPM — translating business priorities into a clear talent plan that scales. Manage and develop a high-performing team of recruiters and recruiting leaders across regions, setting the bar and coaching to it consistently. Serve as a strategic advisor to senior technical leaders — bringing market intelligence, compensation insights, and a clear point of view on talent, not just execution against a req list. Lead the adoption of AI tools , workflows, and automation across the recruiting function — driving meaningful change in how the team sources, assesses, and closes talent. Design and continuously improve the processes , systems, and interview infrastructure that allow us to hire with speed without sacrificing bar — including pipeline development, interviewer calibration, and offer strategy. Establish and own the recruiting metrics that matter — quality of hire, time to fill, source mix, funnel health — and use them to drive decisions, not just report status. Partner with Storytelling to sharpen our employer value proposition in the technical talent community and represent Notion as a destination for world-class technical talent. Skills You'll Need to Bring 7+ years of recruiting leadership experience with a deep focus on technical hiring across engineering, product, and adjacent functions. Proven track record of building and scaling high-performing recruiting teams in fast-moving, high-growth environments. High agency, strategic operator who can set direction and execute — equally comfortable in a leadership conversation about talent strategy and in the weeds of a hard search. Strong analytical instincts with a track record of using data to drive decisions, not just report them — across funnel health, quality of hire, and team performance. Trusted advisor to senior technical leaders, with the credibility and market knowledge to influence at the Staff and executive level. Genuine AI-first orientation — fluency with modern tools and an excitement for continuous discovery as the landscape evolves, with a track record of bringing teams along on that journey. Deep knowledge of technical compensation trends and market dynamics across global talent pools. Nice to Haves Background in technical recruiting with experience closing at the executive level. Demonstrated track record of leveraging AI to meaningfully change how recruiting operates — not just as a tool user, but as someone who has built workflows, driven adoption, and raised the bar on what the function can do. Experience designing and executing diversity recruiting programs with measurable outcomes. Strong network within the technical recruiting and engineering talent community. Notion is committed to providing highly competitive cash compensation, equity, and benefits.

By clicking “Submit Application”, I understand and agree that Notion and its affiliates and subsidiaries will collect and process my information in accordance with Notion’s Global Recruiting Privacy Policy and NYLL 144 . #LI-Onsite A Note on AI You don’t need deep AI expertise for every role, but we do expect every Notino to be intellectually curious, drawn to tinkering and discovery, and excited to use AI as a real collaborator in their work. For some roles, AI fluency is a core requirement — when that’s the case, we’ll make it explicit in the qualifications. People who thrive here don’t treat AI as a novelty. They use it to think better, move faster, and build more creatively.
