Role summary

Zoox is seeking an experienced Executive Sourcer to join its Talent team. This role will partner with the business to identify and recruit visionary leaders for Director, VP, and C-Suite positions. Responsibilities include developing recruitment strategies, creating data-driven market maps, and engaging passive executive talent. The ideal candidate will have 6+ years of sourcing experience, including at least 1 year in executive search, with strong communication and business acumen skills. Experience with ATS like Lever and an interest in the autonomous vehicle industry are preferred.

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. You will serve as the first point of contact for industry leaders, acting as a brand ambassador to articulate the Zoox mission and value proposition.

In this role, you will...

  • Market Mapping: Conduct extensive research to map the talent landscape in relevant industries (e.g. robotics, AI, automotive, software, hardware, operations).
  • 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: Own the top-of-funnel screening process—conducting initial high-level screens to assess qualifications, leadership capability, cultural fit, and genuine interest in the Zoox mission, and driving the evaluation that shapes which candidates advance.
  • Long-Term Nurturing: Build and maintain a network of potential future leaders, keeping warm relationships with top talent for future opportunities as we scale.

    • Qualifications:

  • Experience: 6+ years of total sourcing experience, with at least 1 year of experience focused on executive search (Director+).
  • Executive Sourcing & Talent Mapping: Demonstrated expertise in proactive candidate sourcing, including developing and maintaining complex talent maps and pipelines.
  • Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills. You must feel comfortable communicating with and influencing senior stakeholders and candidates.
  • Business Acumen: Ability to quickly understand a broad range of domains (Autonomy, Hardware, Software, G&A, Operations) and articulate how a leader fits into the broader business strategy.

    • Bonus Qualifications:

  • Interest in the autonomous and electric vehicle industry.
  • Expertise in leveraging ATS (we use Lever) to build metrics, sourcing strategies, and talent pipelines.
