Responsibilities

• Be a strategic talent advisor and trusted thought partner to engineering and product leadership by proactively leveraging talent intelligence, extensive market knowledge, and external talent insights to drive innovative hiring approaches and influence the strategic direction of searches.
• Independently own end to end recruitment for complex and specialized R&D (Product and Technology) roles, using your business acumen and recruiting expertise to architect and deliver on strategic recruiting plans to identify, proactively source, and hire qualified talent.
• Design and scale engineering recruiting programs that institutionalize a high technical talent bar, ranging from targeted industry outreach to delivering structured interview frameworks that mitigate bias and ensure equitable hiring outcomes. Orchestrate a high signal candidate journey and positive experience by removing process friction and ensuring consistent, values aligned communication across all interview stages.
• Collect, analyze, and use talent insights and internal data to proactively set expectations and drive calibration with hiring teams. Advise and guide leaders on defining success profiles, prioritization, location decisions, and critical trade offs based on skills informed assessments. Align interviewer panels on assessment criteria to help drive the best possible hiring outcomes for Twilio.
• Build and maintain trusted, collaborative relationships with VP level R&D (Product and Technology) leaders, HRBPs, and other cross function partners (Total Rewards, Finance, TA Ops) and TA COEs.
• Use AI, tools, and technology to stay up to date on technical recruiting best practices, emerging sourcing techniques, interview innovations, and workplace trends to raise the bar for hiring quality talent.
• Communicate and negotiate effectively and diplomatically across complex offer structures that include equity, using data and strategic influence to achieve desired business results.
• Act as a trusted partner and strong contributor across TA and People Partnerships teams. Influence collaborative outcomes without authority, manage through ambiguity effectively, and take a proactive approach to identifying potential hiring roadblocks before they arise.

Qualifications

• Exceptional communication, critical thinking, and negotiation skills, with the business acumen to navigate the competitive tech talent landscape and influence leadership.
• Proven ability to close in demand talent and manage complex offer packages by artfully selling Twilio's strong EVP, flexible remote work model, and standout culture, while successfully guiding internal stakeholders on market realities versus individual candidate demands.

• Capable of operating autonomously in a remote, fast paced, and ambiguous environment with minimal oversight.
