Principal Enterprise Sales Recruiter

2 days ago New York, NY

At Navan, recruiting is our #1 growth priority. We are searching for a dynamic, creative Principal Sales Recruiter to scale our Enterprise sales teams across the US, with a primary focus on the East Coast (NYC and Boston). This isn’t your average recruiting role, we want someone who thinks and works like a sales pro, unearthing top talent and driving hiring success at the speed our business demands.

What You’ll Do:

  • Own the end-to-end recruitment process for Enterprise sales roles; hunting, engaging, and closing “A players” (top 1% performers) who will drive our sales success.
  • Partner hand-in-hand with Regional Directors, the VP of Enterprise NA, and our CRO becoming an extension of the sales team and a trusted advisor on all things hiring.
  • Design and execute creative sourcing strategies, using both classic methods and out-of-the-box approaches to build world-class talent pipelines.
  • Relentlessly pursue the best candidates, never taking “no” for an answer, and skillfully position our opportunities to win over top performers.
  • Manage multiple priorities with finesse, staying organized, detail-obsessed, and consistently delivering a standout candidate experience.
  • Collaborate with interview teams to ensure a seamless, engaging, and highly selective interview process that reflects our high standards.
  • Track metrics, learn quickly, and pivot as needed in our fast-evolving environment.
