Senior Recruiter (Marketing and Creative) Media Miami $$

About the Role
We're looking for a Senior Recruiter who lives and breathes the marketing world. Most of our open roles sit at the intersection of creative, performance marketing, and affiliate/media — and we hire only A-players. That means our recruiter needs to know this market deeply: who the strong players are, where they work, what motivates them, and what separates a good candidate from a truly exceptional one.
You'll work closely with hiring managers and leadership to close some of the most competitive roles in the market — often the kind of profiles others would call "unicorns."
What You'll Do
- Own the full recruitment cycle for marketing, creative, and adjacent roles — from intake to offer accepted: Affiliate Managers, Publishers, Broadcast & Monetisation Managers, ESP / Compliance specialists, Creative PMs, Designers, CQ/QA, and more.
- Lead role intake calls with hiring managers — ask the right questions, surface the real "must-haves" vs. "nice-to-haves," and translate fuzzy requirements into a sharp ideal candidate profile.
- Source proactively — LinkedIn, niche communities, competitor mapping, talent pools, referrals. We expect outbound, not job-board-and-pray.
- Pre-screen with strong judgment — assess not just skills and experience, but culture fit and A-player signals (ownership, drive, taste, communication, ambition).
- Manage agency partners (Oxygen, EPC, and others) — brief them well, hold them accountable on quality, and supplement their pipelines with your own sourcing.
- Run a clean process — keep our ATS (People Force) up to date, communicate proactively with candidates, and deliver a great candidate experience even when the answer is no.
- Calibrate continuously — debrief after interviews, share what's working, refine the profile, and help hiring managers sharpen their own evaluation lens.
- Partner with the internal recruitment team to share market insights, balance workload across roles, and cover for each other on domain stretch areas.
What We're Looking For
Must-have
- 3+ years of in-house or agency recruitment experience with a clear focus on marketing, creative, affiliate, or performance/media roles.
- Demonstrated ability to close hard-to-fill positions — you can point to specific senior or "unicorn" hires you've personally sourced and closed.
- Strong market map of the marketing/creative talent landscape — you know the relevant companies, the strong teams, the typical career paths, and where to fish for each profile.
- Excellent ability to read people — to spot the difference between someone who looks great on paper and someone who will actually deliver and fit the culture.
- Confident stakeholder management — you push back when a brief is unrealistic, ask sharp questions, and bring data and market reality into the conversation.
- High-velocity sourcing output without sacrificing quality — you present a tight shortlist, not a flood.
- Fluent written and spoken English — for candidate outreach, interviews, and internal collaboration.
Nice-to-have
- Background recruiting in adjacent domains (broadcast, monetisation, affiliate networks, ESP/email marketing, compliance, digital media).
- Experience working alongside external recruitment agencies and getting strong results out of them.
- Familiarity with People Force or similar ATS platforms.
- Exposure to international hiring across multiple time zones.
Who You Are
- You genuinely enjoy hunting for talent — sourcing isn't a chore, it's the part you actually like.
- You have strong taste and high standards — you instinctively raise the bar rather than lower it under pressure to close.
- You're proactive and self-driven — once you understand the role, you go.
- You're a great listener — to hiring managers, candidates, and feedback.
- You care about the long game: building a pipeline, maintaining relationships with strong candidates even when there's no role for them yet.
- You're comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where priorities shift weekly.
What We Offer
- Direct collaboration with founders / leadership and hiring managers who care about hiring well.
- Multinational and intercultural experience
- Corporate library
- Growth opportunities
- Cutting-edge frameworks and technologies
- Competitive salary
- Common team activities (football, basketball, tennis, board games, and more)
- 21 paid vacation days & 14 paid sick leaves
- Work-life balance
- Cozy office in Warsaw available for you whenever you need it
- Coffee, tea, sweets, fruits, and more snacks
If you've personally closed senior marketing and creative roles in competitive markets — and you know the difference between "good" and "A-player" when you see it — we'd love to talk.
