Senior Recruiter - Executive and Leadership

Senior RecruiterAt Bell Labs, Mervin Kelly built long shared hallways so chemists, physicists, and engineers would pass each other on the way to lunch. Some of the lab's best work started that way. Hiring leaders works the same: the person you need next year is often someone you met long before the role opened.Mercury builds banking and financial software for startups and growing businesses. The leaders we hire decide how that software gets built, sold, and kept safe. We're hiring a Senior Recruiter to help find them.You'll join our small executive recruiting team, partnering with our founders and execs on Director to C-suite hiring. Most of your searches will be Director and VP roles, with a tilt toward Engineering, Product, Design, and Data.
