Zoox’s Talent team is seeking an Executive Sourcer to join our Executive Recruiting function. In this pivotal role, you will act as a force multiplier for our Executive Recruiting team, partnering directly with the business to identify the visionary leaders who will drive our mission forward.

This position requires a highly strategic mindset. You will develop recruitment strategies, create data-driven market maps, and uncover passive leadership talent for our most critical Director, VP, and C-Suite roles.

  • Talent Strategy: Collaborate with the Executive Recruiting team and hiring partners to define search criteria and build top-of-funnel strategies for niche and hard-to-fill leadership roles.
  • High-Touch Outreach: Craft bespoke, compelling outreach campaigns to engage passive executive candidates. You will move beyond standard InMails to find creative ways to connect with top-tier talent. 
  • Candidate Assessment: Conduct initial high-level screens to assess qualifications, leadership capability, cultural fit, and genuine interest in the Zoox mission.
  • Long-Term Nurturing: Build and maintain a network of potential future leaders, keeping warm relationships with top talent for future opportunities as we scale.

  • Bonus Qualifications:

  • Interest in the autonomous and electric vehicle industry.
