Planet is a global company with employees working remotely world wide and joining us from offices in San Francisco, Washington DC, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, and The Netherlands. About the Role: Planet is scaling aggressively — growing our go-to-market engine, expanding into new customer segments, and building the corporate infrastructure to support a company that is transitioning from early adopter traction to mainstream market leadership. The teams that make this possible — Sales, Business Development, Marketing, Finance, Legal, People, and Company Operations — are all hiring simultaneously, and they need a recruiting partner who can move fluidly across these very different functions while maintaining quality and speed. As a Talent Acquisition Partner aligned to the Commercial GA pod, you will own full-cycle recruiting across the broadest portfolio of role types on the TA team. In a single quarter, you may be sourcing enterprise Account Executives, closing a Marketing search, filling a Senior Financial Analyst role, and recruiting a Contracts Manager — each with different hiring manager expectations, candidate profiles, and market dynamics.

This role is based in Washington, DC, where a significant portion of Planet's Commercial and GA leadership operates. This is a full-time, hybrid role which will require you to work from our D.C. office in Arlington, VA 3 days per week. Impact You’ll Own: Own full-cycle recruiting for roles across Commercial and GA — including Sales, Business Development, Marketing, Finance, Legal, People, and Company Operations — managing the widest variety of role types on the TA team. Manage 10–15 concurrent requisitions spanning a diverse portfolio, from revenue-generating go-to-market roles to corporate functions, adapting your sourcing strategy, candidate assessment approach, and stakeholder communication to each function's unique requirements. Build trusted partnerships with hiring managers across multiple departments — learning their team structures, business objectives, and hiring preferences so you become the first call when a new need emerges, not an afterthought when a requisition is ...
