- Excellent communication skills, high emotional intelligence, and strong stakeholder management.
- Experience mentoring and onboarding sourcers, as well as creating training materials.
- An analytical mindset and confidence working with funnel metrics, dashboards, and performance data.
- English proficiency at a strong B2 level or higher, with confidence in leading meetings and providing written updates.
What We Offer
