We do this by giving smart, creative, passionate people opportunities to create awesome. And that's where you come in:

Instructure is on a mission to elevate student success, and that starts with elevating our own team. We are seeking a Director of Talent Acquisition who is a builder at heart. This isn't just about "filling seats"—it’s about architecting a global talent engine. You will lead a high-performing international team, acting as a strategic consultant to our executive leadership while modernizing our tech stack and processes.

If you thrive in the space between high-level strategy and hands-on execution, and you believe that AI and data are the future of recruitment, we want to talk to you.

Key Responsibilities:

• Global Leadership: Lead, mentor, and scale a distributed TA team across North America, EMEA, and APAC. Foster a culture of accountability, empathy, and excellence.
• Strategic Partnership: Serve as a trusted advisor to the C-suite and VPs, aligning talent headcount with long-term business goals and financial forecasts.
• Data-Driven Excellence: Transform raw recruiting data into actionable insights. You’ll be responsible for tracking and optimizing KPIs like Quality of Hire, Cost-per-Hire, and Diversity sourcing efficacy.
• AI & Process Innovation: Be the internal champion for recruiting technology. You will identify and implement AI-driven tools to automate top-of-funnel sourcing, enhance candidate screening, and remove administrative friction.
• The "Builder" Mindset: Standardize global interview training, employer branding initiatives, and onboarding handoffs to ensure a world-class candidate experience.

What We’re Looking For

• The Experience: 10+ years in Talent Acquisition, with at least 5 years leading global teams in a high-growth SaaS environment.
• The Tech Stack: Deep familiarity with modern recruiting ecosystems. Bonus points if you have migrated to or managed Ashby and understand its powerful reporting capabilities.
• AI Fluency: You have a proven track record of integrating AI tools (generative AI for job descriptions, automated scheduling, or predictive sourcing) to gain a competitive edge.
• Operational Rigor: You love a good spreadsheet and a clean workflow. You build processes that are scalable, not just "good enough" for today.
• Communication: Ability to tell a story with data that convinces stakeholders to invest in the right talent initiatives.

Why Instructure?

We are the power behind Canvas, the world’s leading LMS. We value innovation, openness, and—above all—the people who make education better. You’ll have the autonomy to build your vision of what modern TA looks like, backed by a company that truly understands the value of human capital.
