Senior Manager, Recruiting

What You’ll Do:

The Talent Acquisition team at CoreWeave is responsible for building the engine that powers our AI cloud—spanning Supply Chain and IT.  We run a pod-based model where recruiters, sourcers, and coordinators are tightly aligned to technical leaders to deliver high-bar technical talent at scale.

The Senior Manager, Talent Acquisition, is a strategic leader responsible for scaling CoreWeave’s IT/Supply Chain organization. This leader will sit in Sunnyvale, reporting to the Director of TA, and lead the supply chain and IT recruiting pods, partnering directly with senior technology leaders and TA leadership to design and execute hiring strategies across multiple functions and levels. This role is ideal for a seasoned recruiting leader who thrives in high-growth environments, leads with both data and heart, and knows how to build teams and processes that deliver outstanding results.

About the Role:

As a Senior Manager, Recruiting, you will build and lead a high-performing team of specialized recruiters that supports key organizations at CoreWeave (for example: Information Technology, Information Systems, Procurement, Strategy and Supply Chain). You will own full-funnel recruiting performance for your pod(s)—from intake to offer—while also personally leading senior or hard-to-fill searches as needed.

In this role, you will:

• Own and evolve technical hiring strategies for your pod(s) across multiple teams and levels, aligning plans to headcount forecasts, product roadmaps, and org design in partnership with Supply Chain and IT.
• Lead, coach, and develop a team of technical recruiters (and, where applicable, sourcers), creating a collaborative, metrics-driven culture centered on excellence, learning, and high accountability.
• Serve as a strategic advisor to senior engineering leaders: calibrate roles and levels using CoreWeave’s job architecture and leveling framework, prioritize requisitions, and drive data-informed hiring decisions and tradeoffs.
• Champion a world-class candidate experience—ensuring clear communication, timely feedback, and thoughtful closing—from first touch through offer acceptance and handoff to onboarding.
• Leverage data and analytics (from Greenhouse, Lattice-aligned levels, and internal TA dashboards) to improve pipeline conversion, recruiter capacity planning, time-to-fill, sourcing channel performance, and quality of hire.

 

Who You Are:

• 7+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience with a strong focus on technical roles in high-growth or complex technology environments 
• 4+ years of experience leading and developing recruiters and/or sourcers, including performance management, coaching, and building a high-accountability, high-support culture.
• Experience building and optimizing recruiting processes at scale, ideally in a pod-based or embedded recruiting model aligned to engineering domains.
• Comfortable working with data and tooling: experienced using Greenhouse, ATS/CRM data, Lattice-aligned levels, and TA dashboards to run your business, tell a clear story with metrics, and make continuous improvements.
• Expertise with modern recruiting and sourcing tools (e.g., LinkedIn Recruiter, Gem or similar CRM, Greenhouse ATS) and collaboration platforms used at CoreWeave (e.g., Slack, Google Workspace, Zoom, Lattice).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a track record of building trust across Talent Acquisition, People, and senior business stakeholders.

Preferred:

• Familiarity with job architecture, leveling frameworks, and promotion criteria, and how these intersect with recruiting, performance, and compensation decisions in a scaling company.
• Background in high-growth or hyperscaler-like environments where hiring velocity, quality of hire, diversity, and operational rigor are all critical.

• You love coaching recruiters and seeing their skills, confidence, and impact grow over time—and you’re energized by building a high-performing, high-trust team.
• You’re curious about how engineering leaders think about roadmap, org design, and team health, and you enjoy being their strategic thought partner on talent and hiring strategy.
• You’re an expert at turning ambiguous or shifting hiring goals into clear plans, metrics, and repeatable processes that scale across multiple pods or orgs.
• You care deeply about candidate experience and employer brand, and you’re excited to help shape the story of CoreWeave’s engineering organization in the AI infrastructure space.
