Senior Recruiter - Sales

At Mercury, we believe building a great company starts with the people who represent it. Our Sales and Customer Experience teams sit at the center of our mission—serving as the bridge between our product and the founders we support. We’re looking for a Senior Recruiter who knows how to translate ambitious business goals into thoughtful, high-impact hiring.

This role is critical to Mercury’s growth this year. As the primary hiring partner for leaders across Sales, Partnerships, and Revenue Operations, you’ll help scale our GTM organization during a formative stage. You’ll influence senior, opinionated stakeholders, design hiring strategies for complex roles, and help shape how recruiting operates as we continue to grow. While this role does not involve direct people management, you’ll operate as a leader on the recruiting team by mentoring others and setting the bar for excellence.

We’re looking for someone who is comfortable with ambiguity, moves with urgency, and brings a no-task-too-small mindset to building durable systems from the ground up.

What you’ll do

• Serve as a trusted hiring partner to Sales and CX leadership, advising on role design, hiring strategy, and execution for critical initiatives
• Own full-cycle recruiting for high-impact GTM roles, from sourcing through close, with a focus on candidates who thrive in fast-paced environments
• Influence and align senior, opinionated stakeholders through data, judgment, and clear communication
• Mentor and support members of the recruiting team, sharing best practices and helping manage high-volume pipelines
  Continuously improve recruiting efficiency by refining processes, tools, and candidate experience without compromising quality
• Represent Mercury to top-tier candidates, clearly articulating our mission, culture, and the opportunity to help build a sales organization in its early stages
• Maintain a strong bias toward results, bringing resilience and creativity to niche searches and urgent hires

What you’ll need

• Significant experience recruiting for GTM roles in high-growth environments, with a proven record of impact
• Deep expertise in full-cycle recruiting, including creative sourcing and closing complex offers
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence through trust, transparency, and insight
  Comfort operating in ambiguity and building structure where none exists yet
  A hands-on, self-starter mindset with a willingness to do whatever the moment requires
• Clear, thoughtful, and precise communication skills
