• Partner with Engineering stakeholders to translate hiring needs into sourcing and assessment strategies; maintain clear visibility into pipeline health and surface risks and recommendations to the Director of Technical Recruiting and leadership.
• Champion recruiting process quality - drive consistency in interviews, calibration, and offer strategy; develop and refine frameworks for evaluating candidates in specialized and leadership-level technical roles.

This role will be based in our San Francisco office. We are a hybrid environment that combines the energy and connections of being in the office with the benefits and flexibility of working from home. We require a minimum of three coordinated days in the office per week:
Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. As a perk, we also offer up to four weeks per year of fully remote work.

As Senior Manager, Technical Recruiting, you will lead the team responsible for some of Brex's most complex and high‑stakes hiring — AI/ML, Specialized Tech, and Engineering Leadership. You will own the end‑to‑end health of your function's pipeline: setting team goals, driving conversion, and surfacing risks before they become blockers. You will partner directly with Engineering leadership to translate business priorities into sourcing and assessment strategies, and you will bring rigor to how we evaluate candidates in specialized and senior technical roles.

In addition to hitting numbers, you will develop people — coaching your recruiters to raise their craft, give sharper feedback, and build stronger relationships with the leaders they support.

• 7+ years of technical recruiting experience in high‑growth or venture‑backed tech companies.
• 2+ years of people‑management experience leading technical recruiting teams.
• Demonstrated experience hiring for specialized technical roles (AI/ML, Infrastructure, Platform, Security, or similar).
• Track record of developing recruiters — giving direct feedback, running 1:1s, and building high‑performing teams.
• Strong analytical instincts; comfortable reading pipeline data and translating it into action.
• Experience as a strategic partner to Engineering or senior technical leadership.
• Ability to operate with autonomy and handle ambiguity in a fast‑moving, evolving org.

• Experience hiring Engineering Leadership or Staff+ talent.
• Familiarity with AI/ML talent markets and sourcing strategies for applied ML or research roles.
• Experience navigating recruiting in a post‑acquisition or org integration context.
• Proficiency with Greenhouse, Gem, Linked In Recruiter, or similar tooling.
