About the Position

Staff Technical Recruiter, Product

Headway is on a mission to revolutionize mental healthcare by building a new system that everyone can access. We've automated the administrative burdens of mental health providers, allowing them to focus on care. Now, we're looking for an experienced Staff Technical Recruiter to join our team and help us find top product talent to shape our future.

Responsibilities

• Run end-to-end product searches, from senior ICs to Director+ leaders, driving everything from role scoping to close and owning the narrative around candidate quality, funnel health, and search strategy.
• Partner closely with the CPO, VPs of Product and Design, and their leadership teams, advising on role definition, leveling, search design, talent bar, market dynamics, and how to run a predictable, inclusive hiring process.
• Architect structured search plans that diagnose bottlenecks early, set expectations, and give stakeholders clear visibility throughout the process.
• Design and execute targeted sourcing strategies that consistently deliver high-quality product talent.
• Use data to drive alignment and decisions, from setting funnel expectations to refining search approach based on real-time signal.
• Uplevel product hiring quality and consistency, helping teams clarify what “great” looks like, sharpening product competencies and case exercises, and reinforcing structured decision-making.
• Build market intelligence on the product talent landscape - compensation, org design, talent pools, and how peer companies structure and hire their product teams.
• Ensure best-in-class candidate experience, with executive-grade care for senior product leaders, where thoughtful communication, coaching, and white-glove touchpoints are essential.
• Collaborate with sourcers and coordination partners to ensure a seamless, high-quality search experience end-to-end.

Requirements

• 6+ years of full-cycle recruiting in high-growth, tech-enabled environments, with meaningful experience hiring senior, director, and VP-level product talent.
• Deep experience recruiting product talent - Product Management and/or Product Design - and are comfortable running senior and executive-level searches.
• Operate as a trusted advisor to executives, influencing decisions through data, market insight, and structured thinking.
• Ability to untangle ambiguous or complex searches, build clarity, and drive a repeatable plan that produces predictable outcomes.
• High agency and operational excellence-you run clean, structured searches that remove friction for both candidates and stakeholders.
• Think creatively about multi-channel sourcing, building senior product pipelines through research, relationship-building, and market mapping.
• Ability to assess product talent with credibility - you understand product craft well enough to calibrate a PM’s or designer’s scope, judgment, and impact.
• Communicate with clarity, presence, and executive polish, regardless of audience.
• Deeply care about raising the bar, running inclusive and consistent processes, and strengthening the hiring muscle across the organization.
