If that sounds like you, we’d love to meet you." – Alicia Strait https://www.linkedin.com/in/alicias11/, VP of Talent, TRM Labs The teams that keep TRM running — Strategic Finance, Legal, People, Operations — are what let us scale a mission-critical platform responsibly, at speed, in a heavily regulated space. As a Team Lead, G&A Recruiter, You’ll own TRM’s most strategic and mission-critical G&A searches while setting the standard for the G&A recruiting pod. You’ll manage your own requisitions, but your impact will extend across the team—driving consistency, raising the bar, and helping the pod operate as a tight, high-performing unit. As the day-to-day peer leader closest to the work, you’ll take meaningful operating overhead off the manager’s plate and help the team move with greater speed and precision. Your success is measured by the quality, velocity, and business impact of hires across TRM's G&A organization as well as how successfully you mentor your teammates, and how well the pod around you performs. How this role differs from a Senior or Staff G&A Recruiter: A Senior/Staff recruiter owns their searches exceptionally well. As Team Lead, you own your searches and the operating rhythm, unblocking, experimentation, and outcomes of the whole G&A pod. You’ll set the example for more junior recruiters on what exceptional partnership with executive stakeholders looks like. The impact you'll have: Leading the pod: - Run executive level G&A hiring syncs, driving the cadence, priorities, and follow-through for the team and its hiring managers. - Represent the G&A pod in headcount and workforce-planning discussions with Talent leadership, bringing the on-the-ground view from being closest to the department leads. - Bubble up what's happening across the G&A recruiting team — risks, wins, market signals, and blockers — so the manager and VP stay informed. - Drive solutioning and experimentation with the team, testing new sourcing angles, processes, and ideas and unblocking searches when they stall. - Help the team execute on retros and decision docs, turning what you learn into durable improvements. - Shape and roll out new processes and changes to the pod: when the team adopts a new way of working, much of it comes from you. Owning your own searches: - Own full-cycle recruiting for senior and specialized G&A searches across Strategic Finance, Legal, People, Operations, and other corporate functions. - Act as a strategic talent partner to executive stakeholders; advising on market dynamics, candidate calibration, hiring strategy, and close approach. - Build and execute targeted sourcing strategies that identify, engage, and close exceptional G&A talent from high-growth technology, fintech, crypto, public sector, and financial services environments. - Develop deep market maps for priority searches that include competitive talent, high-performing corporate functions, and referral-driven networks. - Create an exceptional candidate experience for senior and specialized talent, so every touchpoint reflects TRM's talent bar, mission, and operating principles. - Use data, market insight, and funnel conversion metrics to diagnose search health, influence hiring teams, and adjust strategy in real time. - Serve as a craft leader on the Talent team, raising the bar for sourcing, stakeholder management, candidate engagement, and strategic search execution. What we're looking for: - 10+ years of recruiting experience, with 7+ years of experience owning senior G&A searches in high-growth technology companies. - Experience leading or setting direction for a recruiting pod including running hiring syncs, unblocking other recruiters' searches, and driving team experimentation — whether or not you've formally managed people. - A track record of taking operating overhead off a manager's plate: owning team cadence, process rollouts, retros, and decision docs so the group runs as a tight unit. - Proven success hiring senior and specialized talent across Strategic Finance, Legal, People, Operations, and other corporate functions. - Strong search fundamentals including market mapping, talent intelligence, passive candidate engagement, confidential search management, and senior-level closing. - The ability to quickly understand complex corporate roles across finance, legal, compliance, people, operations, and business-critical leadership. - Strong analytical ability to interpret recruiting metrics, funnel health, conversion rates, and pipeline quality, and translate them into action for yourself and the team. - Exceptional stakeholder management, building trust, influencing senior leaders, pushing back thoughtfully, and operating as a strategic advisor throughout the process. - Excellent written and verbal executive presence, including synthesizing market insight, candidate tradeoffs, and search progress clearly for executive audiences. - High ownership, persistence, and judgment in navigating ambiguous, confidential, business-critical searches. - A demonstrated ability to balance speed with quality while holding a high talent bar for G&A hiring. About the team: - Our talent team is fully remote and async-first. We keep work moving acr
