Lead Recruiter | GTM

At Ramp, people are the single biggest lever on our trajectory, and the bar for who joins this team gets higher every quarter, not lower. We're hiring a Recruiter who treats recruiting as a research discipline as much as a relationship one: someone who can map a market, identify the operators who'll outperform their peers, and run a full-cycle process that wins them. You'll own end-to-end hiring across Sales and GTM functions, from first conversation through offer close, and partner with GTM leadership to translate ambitious hiring plans into real teams.

Responsibilities

Use AI and research to find top talent. You'll build target lists of high performers at peer and aspirational companies using LinkedIn Recruiter, Sales Navigator, Gong signals, internal data, and AI tools like Claude.; Calibrate quickly and map the market. For every new search, you'll develop a clear point of view on what 'great' looks like, who fits the profile, and where to find them, then share that POV with hiring managers as a written artifact rather than just a slate of resumes.; Run thoughtful, personalized outreach. The best replies come from outbound that's grounded in real research, a candidate's territory, deal motion, or recent move.; Own the full cycle, from first outreach through offer close, including pipeline hygiene in Ashby, stakeholder updates, and offer construction.; Close candidates with competing offers.; Be a strategic partner to GTM leaders. Push back when a search is mis-scoped, surface compensation reality early, and translate hiring-manager wishlists into a concrete profile within days.; Deliver an excellent candidate experience that's fair, transparent, and fast.; Improve how we hire by contributing to process changes, comp benchmarking, employer brand, and how Ramp evaluates GTM talent.

Requirements

5+ years of full-cycle GTM/Sales or G&A recruiting, ideally in a high-growth or top-tier startup environment where the bar was non-negotiable.; A real track record of identifying strong talent, not just running searches that closed. Bring examples of candidates you found, ran a process for, and who became top performers.; Comfort using AI in your day-to-day workflow. You already use LLMs to research candidates, draft personalized outreach, summarize calls, or surface signals from messy data, or you're eager to. We see AI fluency as core to how recruiting works going forward.; Research instincts. You can articulate why a given candidate is in the top decile of their cohort, not just that they have the right title at the right company.; Closing skill. You've personally closed senior hires against competing offers from top-tier companies.; Data literacy. You're comfortable in Ashby (or equivalent ATS) and with funnel metrics, and willing to challenge a hiring manager with the numbers when needed.; High urgency operating mode. You book next steps on the call, not after, and you own the candidate's experience through to signature.; Excellent written communication. Your outbound and your candidate updates are the work product, and they should be specific, sharp, and not template-driven.

Nice to have

Direct experience recruiting AEs, Sales Managers, RevOps, or Sales Leadership at a high-growth fintech, SaaS, or infra company.; Experience building or contributing to an AI-augmented research workflow.; Comfort with Snowflake or SQL, or willingness to learn.; Familiarity with Ashby, LinkedIn Recruiter, Sales Navigator, and Gong.
