About The Opportunity

Wonder is looking for a Senior Recruiter to lead our most important searches: executive and senior leadership roles, plus the hard-to-fill, business-critical hires across business and business-technology functions that shape how we grow. You'll partner directly with our C-suite and senior leaders as a trusted advisor, find the best talent in the market, and give every executive candidate a polished, white-glove experience. This is not a high-volume or transactional role; it's for a seasoned recruiter whose judgment, presence, and craft our leaders can rely on.

The Impact You Will Make

Day-to-Day Responsibilities and Activities

• Run a focused portfolio of senior and executive searches (Director through VP and C-suite) end to end, from intake to signed offer
• Source and engage passive talent through target lists, market mapping, and thoughtful, persistent outreach
• Lead candidate conversations with discretion and care, keeping executive candidates informed and engaged at every step
• Prepare leaders and interview panels, run debriefs, and drive clear, timely hiring decisions
• Give leaders crisp, honest updates on pipeline, market feedback, risks, and next steps

Essential Job Duties

• Partner directly with C-suite and senior leaders to define each role, the profile, and what great looks like
• Design and manage interview processes leaders can rely on: clear stages, the right interviewers, structured evaluation, and a decisive close
• Assess candidates on leadership, collaboration, and alignment with Wonder's values, mission, and goals, not only skills on paper
• Manage senior-level offers and negotiations, including equity, with Compensation and People partners
• Keep candidate data and search status accurate in Workday

Initial Focus and Key Deliverables

• In your first 30 days, take ownership of a set of priority searches already in flight; review pipelines, re-engage strong candidates, and reset search strategy with each leader
• Within 60 days, build trusted working relationships with your executive stakeholders and deliver qualified slates on every assigned search
• Within 90 days, close your first senior hires and put in place a repeatable executive search playbook (kickoff, scorecards, interview plans, closing)

Core Responsibilities

• Act as a strategic advisor to leadership on talent, compensation, market conditions, and search approach
• Deliver a white-glove candidate experience that reflects the Wonder brand
• Fill hard-to-fill roles across business functions (e.g., finance, accounting, legal) and business-technology functions (e.g., product, design, data)
• Raise the bar for how Wonder runs senior hiring, and share market insight with the rest of the Talent Acquisitions team

What You Bring to the Table

• Bachelor's degree preferred (nice to have, not required)
• 8+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, including 4+ years focused on Director, VP, and C-suite hiring (in-house, executive search, or both)
• Proven track record partnering directly with C-suite and senior executive leaders as a trusted advisor
• Experience closing senior searches across both business and business-technology functions
• Strong executive presence: polished, articulate, and confident advising and pushing back on senior leaders
• Strong sourcing and market-mapping skills, with a record of engaging and closing passive senior talent
• Experience managing executive offers and negotiations, including equity, with discretion
• Proficiency with an enterprise ATS (Workday preferred) and LinkedIn Recruiter

Got These? Even Better

• Experience recruiting in high-growth consumer, food, delivery, marketplace, or technology companies
• Experience hiring legal leaders (counsel or general counsel) or senior finance and accounting leaders
• A mix of retained executive search firm and in-house experience

As a matter of company policy, Wonder does not sponsor applicants for employment visa status for this role.

Our hybrid model requires 3 days a week in the office. That said, many team members choose to come in more often to take advantage of in-person collaboration and connection. You're welcome—and encouraged—to be in the office up to 5 days a week if it works for you.

Salary:

New York: $149,000

Chicago: $134,000

Wonder uses geographic-specific salary structures, which means the salary offered may vary depending on where the job is located. The final salary offer will take into account various factors, such as the candidate's skills, education, training, credentials, and experience.

We also offer a choice of medical, dental, and vision plans, company paid short and long term disability coverage, paid time off including flexible time off for exempt employees, paid vacation for non-exempt employees, and paid sick leave in compliance with applicable law in addition to paid parental leave, discounted meals and exclusive perks across the Wonder family of brands.
