Talent Strategy & Leadership

• Own NewsBreak's end-to-end talent acquisition strategy, translating company growth and headcount plans into a clear hiring roadmap across engineering, AI/ML, product, and G&A functions.

• Define and report hiring metrics and OKRs (time-to-fill, pipeline health, offer-accept rate, quality of hire) to leadership, using data to continuously improve the funnel.
• Partner with People/HR and Finance on compensation benchmarking, leveling frameworks, and offer strategy.

Cross-Border & Specialized Talent
