What You'll Do:

CoreWeave's Talent Acquisition team is scaling recruiting and sourcing leadership to keep pace with our hyper-growth. This role owns technical/engineering recruiting for John Mancuso's org — bringing structure, consistency, and strategic direction to a team that's currently more distributed than our growth demands. You'll eventually report into our incoming Director of Business Recruiting as that leadership layer comes online.

About the Role:

As Sr. Manager, Recruiting, you'll lead a pod of technical and engineering-focused recruiters and sourcers, owning full-cycle hiring outcomes for some of CoreWeave's most competitive technical roles. You'll partner directly with senior engineering stakeholders to translate hiring needs into sourcing strategy, bring operational rigor to a team that's ready for it, and build the systems (pipeline reviews, capacity planning, reporting) that let us scale predictably. This is a build role: you're not stepping into a mature machine, you're building one.

In this role, you will:

• Build and lead a high-performing pod of technical/engineering recruiters and sourcers
• Partner directly with senior engineering leaders to turn hiring needs into effective pipeline strategy
• Establish a consistent operating cadence — pipeline reviews, capacity planning, reporting — across the team
• Drive measurable improvement in pipeline health, time-to-fill, and conversion rates using data
• Coach and develop recruiters and sourcers, raising the bar on execution and judgment
• Own end-to-end hiring outcomes for technical/engineering roles across the org
• Partner with People, Comp, and HRBP stakeholders on leveling, offers, and calibration

Who You Are:

• 5+ years of full-cycle technical/engineering recruiting experience, including experience in a people-management or team-lead capacity
• Proven experience leading a recruiting and/or sourcing team (pod, team, or org) in a high-growth environment
• Demonstrated track record hiring technical/engineering talent (software engineers, applied scientists, infrastructure, or similar) at scale
• Experience partnering directly with senior technical stakeholders (VP+ or equivalent)
• Hands-on experience using recruiting data and metrics (pipeline conversion, time-to-fill) to drive process improvements
• Able to work from the New York City area

Preferred:

• Experience recruiting specifically within AI/ML or infrastructure engineering domains
• Experience standing up or improving recruiting operations/tooling (ATS workflows, sourcing tech stack)
• Experience partnering with People Business Partners on org design or workforce planning

Wondering if you're a good fit? We believe in investing in our people, and value candidates who can bring their own diversified experiences to our teams – even if you aren't a 100% skill or experience match. Here are a few qualities we've found compatible with our team. If some of this describes you, we'd love to talk.

• You're energized by ambiguity and enjoy building structure where none exists yet
• You're a "player-coach" — just as comfortable recruiting hands-on as you are coaching a team
• You're curious about AI infrastructure and want to deepen your domain expertise
• You bring data-driven rigor without losing the relationship-building side of recruiting
