Responsibilities
- Build and maintain a pipeline of top-tier Product Management talent, proactively sourcing and engaging with passive candidates.

- Iterate on candidate feedback. You'll smooth rough edges in the recruiting process by iterating on feedback from candidates or other signals.
- Cultivate relationships with individuals and groups. You'll help build personal relationships through introductions, references, or by facilitating participation with community groups.
