Profile Lead Recruiter (PLR)

The Profile Lead Recruiter (PLR) is responsible for profile-level talent strategy and end-to-end recruiting delivery for assigned Operations hiring profiles.

This role works in close partnership with the Recruiting Business Partner (RBP), Recruiting Manager, Sourcers, Full Lifecycle Recruiters, Recruiting Coordinators, and hiring teams to deliver predictable, high-quality hiring outcomes.

The PLR carries a monthly productivity target and is accountable for translating business hiring priorities into profile-specific recruiting plans, building and managing talent pipelines, driving candidate progression, and leading offer strategy and closing. The PLR also enables consistent execution across the recruiting team by establishing profile expertise, sharing market intelligence, and reinforcing strong recruiting practices.
