Executive Recruiter, Project Management Team

Who this is for

You've spent years finding senior craftspeople and knowing, within minutes of talking to them, whether they're the real thing. You want to bring that eye to volunteer work — finding the seasoned program directors, portfolio thinkers, and delivery leaders who could quietly elevate a whole team.

What you'd actually do

Find and invite senior project-management practitioners into senior micro-roles on the Project Management team. You're not filling roles; you're finding the specific humans whose experience would let this team move meaningfully faster.

• Map the current bench. Understand the shape of the Project Management team and where a senior practitioner would actually move the needle.

• Source with intention. Reach out to portfolio leaders, program directors, and PMO veterans in your network — people who might want a meaningful volunteer chapter.

• Conduct real conversations. Vet candidates through the lens of ikigai fit as much as technical fit — what would let them come alive here?

• Co-design the invitation. Work with the Project Management team to shape a senior micro-role that's worth a seasoned person's time.

• Support the landing. Stay in touch through the first weeks to make sure the placement takes root.

Why this might be your ikigai

You'll practice executive recruiting as an act of matchmaking rather than sourcing. You'll help experienced practitioners find a chapter of their career that's about contribution, not compensation — and you'll help a team benefit from depth they couldn't otherwise afford.

Signs this role might fit you

• You've recruited executives or senior practitioners before.

• You can tell the difference between a strong résumé and a strong practitioner.

• You have a network of senior project/program-management folks you could reach.

• You're curious about how executive recruiting works when compensation isn't the pull.

• You believe meaningful work is one of the strongest recruiting incentives in the world.

Signs this role probably isn't for you

• You're building your own network from scratch and need this role to source people for you.

• You want to fill a quota of hires.

• You need commission-based motivation.

Commitment

Six-month initial commitment. Rhythm is co-designed with you based on the team's hiring cadence — typically 1–2 senior placements per quarter.

What you'll be part of

You'll partner with the Project Management team, the other Executive Recruiters, and the HR Business Partner for Project Management — who'll help you understand the human shape of the team before you go looking.
