We are seeking a Principal Technical Recruiter, Strategic Hiring to join our dynamic Talent team, focused on hiring the top 1% of engineering talent that will take our Tech org to the next level and help drive Ro’s next chapter of growth.

Lead initiatives that strengthen our employer brand, positioning Ro as a top destination for exceptional tech talent.
- Talent Insights | Conduct comprehensive market mapping and competitive intelligence for target roles. Stay current on industry trends, compensation benchmarks, and talent movement, regularly sharing insights with leadership to inform strategic decisions.
- Full-Cycle Recruitment| Take full ownership of executing strategic software engineering searches, from sourcing to offer acceptance. Lead and implement innovative recruitment strategies and develop targeted outreach plans to identify and attract exceptional technical talent. Flex as needed to support critical roles across the business, including executive searches and other domains within Tech.
- Strategic Talent Advisor | Build strong relationships with senior leaders across the Tech org, including VP+ and C-suite. Partner closely with Tech and People teams to understand business needs, design tailored search strategies, and deliver exceptional talent. Serve as a trusted advisor by offering data-driven insights, market expertise, and sound judgment to influence hiring decisions and support long-term succession and talent planning.
- Offers and Closing | Partner closely with Tech and People leaders, including our Director of Compensation, to build offers that position Ro competitively in the talent market. Deliver and negotiate complex offers while skillfully championing the company’s vision and objectives.
- Immersion in Tech Culture | Embed yourself within the Ro Tech org by attending tech on-sites, engaging in technical discussions, and building authentic relationships across the team.
What You’ll Bring to the Team:
- Experience | 10+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience coming from top-tier executive recruiting firms (e.g. True, Daversa, Riviera). Our ideal candidate has experience and thrives in scaling startups or high-growth companies.
