What's the opportunity?

We’re hiring a Manager (or Senior Manager) of Business Recruiting to lead and evolve how we hire across GTM and G&A functions at Intercom. This role is for a recruiting leader who thinks like a business partner, someone who understands how hiring fuels revenue, scale, and operational excellence, and can translate business strategy into a clear, executable talent plan.

You’ll own recruiting strategy and delivery for critical GTM and G&A teams, while also driving cross-functional and global initiatives that improve hiring quality, speed, and consistency as Intercom continues to scale.

This is a high-impact role with real visibility and influence across senior leadership.

What will I be doing?

• Partner closely with senior leaders across Sales, Marketing, Customer Support, Solutions, Revenue Ops, Finance, Legal, and People to define hiring priorities and headcount strategy
• Translate business goals (growth targets, capacity models, operating plans) into clear recruiting strategies and quarterly hiring plans
• Act as a trusted advisor on talent market dynamics, role design, leveling, and trade-offs between speed, quality, and location
• Lead, coach, and develop a high-performing team of Business Recruiters, setting a high bar for execution, candidate experience, and stakeholder partnership
• Own pipeline health and hiring performance across key business teams, using data to diagnose risks and unblock progress
• Use metrics (time to hire, funnel conversion, source mix, quality signals, candidate experience) to inform decisions and influence leaders
• Build simple, repeatable reporting that gives leaders clear visibility into hiring health and trade-offs
• Lead and contribute to initiatives that scale Business Recruiting globally (e.g., interviewer capacity, values interview pooling, process consistency, tooling and AI adoption)
• Partner with RecOps, People Ops, and Finance to ensure hiring plans are executable and sustainable
• Continuously evolve our recruiting model to support growth across regions and functions

What skills do I need?

• 8+ years of recruiting experience, with people leadership in a fast-growing tech company
• Deep experience hiring for GTM and/or G&A roles, with a strong understanding of commercial and operational talent needs
• Proven ability to partner with senior business leaders as a strategic advisor, not just a delivery lead
• Strong analytical and operational mindset, comfortable using data to make decisions and tell a compelling story
• Experience operating across multiple functions and regions
• High standards, strong judgment, and the ability to operate with urgency in competitive markets
