About Leonardo.Ai:

Leonardo.Ai, an Australian tech startup now a part of Canva, is on a transformative mission to democratise design and ignite the world's creativity through our groundbreaking AI-powered platform. With over 30 million users worldwide and counting, we're just getting started.

The Role:

We’re looking for a Senior Recruiter to join us during a period of scaling to help grow our team! 

You’ll own the scaling of our high-impact teams across Sales, Marketing, and Customer Service with potential stretch into Product and Design, delivering amazing hiring experiences and supporting Leonardo’s B2B and B2C growth as a global GenAI leader.

If you have substantial experience in hiring for B2B tech/SaaS, particularly within go-to-market functions, we’d love to hear from you.

What You’ll Do:

• Own the full-cycle hiring process across multiple commercial roles from briefing to offer.

• Build trusted relationships with hiring managers to understand team needs, define role requirements, and influence hiring strategies.

• Create sourcing plans that uncover exceptional talent from diverse backgrounds, balancing speed with quality.

• Champion a consistently excellent and human candidate experience — from first touch to final offer.

• Leverage data, feedback, and talent intelligence to influence hiring decisions and workforce planning.

• Proactively map markets and nurture pipelines for current and future roles across Sales, Marketing, and Customer Service.

• Work closely with the broader team to drive process improvements and hiring excellence.

Skills We Like:

• Solid experience working in Talent Acquisition, with a focus on commercial roles outside of software engineering - ideally hiring quota‑carrying Sales roles and Marketing specialists.

• Highly skilled at partnering with senior stakeholders and influencing decision-making through data and insight.

• Strong understanding of how to put representation, diversity and inclusion at the centre of hiring processes.

• Take pride in delivering an exceptional candidate experience and communicating with clarity and empathy.

• Experienced in sourcing candidates to build strong pipelines for roles and identifying passive talent. 

• Confident user of applicant tracking systems (we use Ashby), LinkedIn Recruiter, and other recruiting tools.

• Ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.

• Comfortable working remotely across time zones - we’d love it if you have experience working on US roles.

Our Culture:

• Inclusive Culture: We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and empowered. At Leonardo AI, your unique perspectives and experiences are welcomed and essential to our success.

• Flexible Work Environment: We understand the importance of work-life balance. Enjoy the flexibility to work remotely or from our vibrant offices. We have employees all over Australia, ensuring you can thrive personally and professionally.

• Empowering Growth: Your development is our priority. We offer continuous learning opportunities and career growth tailored to your goals. You’ll be encouraged to grow and excel in your career at Leonardo AI.

• Impactful Work: Join us in shaping the future of AI. You'll work on innovative projects that have a meaningful impact, and your contributions will help drive advancements in AI creativity.
