## Job description

## Who We Are

Notion is the collaborative AI workspace where teams and agents [think together](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkpYpWfEK5s). We're building one place where your knowledge, projects, meetings, and AI tools live side by side, so work is faster, clearer, and less fragmented. Millions of individuals, small teams, and large companies run their work on Notion.

Notinos (our employees) are customer zero in bringing this future of work to life. We care about craft, building things that last, and the belief that great work is still fundamentally human. Our goal isn’t to ship the next feature. Each and every team of Notinos is working to set the standard for how humans work together in the AI era. From building a business’s system of record to making and managing AI agents to automating away the busy work, we care deeply about giving our customers more time for their life’s work.

About the Role: Notion is looking for an Early Career Recruiter who wants to reimagine what early career hiring can look like. This is a role for a builder: someone energized by the question of how to find and cultivate exceptional emerging talent, who gets excited about crafting programs and experiences that don't yet exist, and who sees employer brand, candidate experience, and assessment design in an AI era as creative problems worth obsessing over. You'll own Notion's early career strategy end-to-end alongside a team of talented teammates — from how we reach communities to how we evaluate potential, develop talent, and convert interns and new grads into the next generation of Notinos. You'll work closely with our Engineering, Product, Design, Sales, and People teams.

This role can be based in either San Francisco or New York City. We work from our offices on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays (our Anchor Days) because we do our best thinking and building together in person. We’re looking for someone who’s excited to work alongside the team during those days.

What You'll Achieve:

- A differentiated early career engine — design and run recruiting programs (internships, new grad pipelines, 0-2 years from school pipelines) that are durable, scalable, and distinctly Notion
- New models for talent discovery — beyond traditional campus funnels; experiment with communities, hackathons, open-source, AI-native sourcing tools, and creative outreach that meets candidates where they are
- Inspired evaluation frameworks — challenge conventional interview loops; build assessments that reveal how early career candidates think, learn, and create — not just what they already know
- A compelling employer brand presence — partner with Comms, Design, and People to articulate why Notion is the best place to launch a career, and bring that story to life across channels, events, and touchpoints
- Hiring team capability — coach and equip hiring managers and interviewers to assess early career talent with nuance, fairness, and high standards

Skills You'll Need to Bring:

- 2+ years of recruiter experience, with meaningful exposure to early career, university, or program-based hiring
- A builder mentality — you're most energized when creating something new, not managing something established
- Genuine curiosity about how to find and evaluate emerging talent; you're always experimenting with new sourcing channels, assessment formats, and candidate engagement strategies
- Strong instincts for employer brand and candidate experience — you think about how every touchpoint shapes perception and builds (or erodes) trust
- The ability to move between strategy and execution; you can design a program and then run it
- Outstanding communication and relationship-building skills with candidates, hiring teams, and cross-functional partners
- Comfort with data — you use it to make decisions, spot patterns, and make the case for what's working

Nice to Haves:

- You've built or contributed to an early career program from scratch
- You've experimented with non-traditional sourcing or evaluation approaches and can speak to what you learned
- You're deeply familiar with the early career talent landscape in engineering and technical roles
- You use Notion and love it — you get what we're building

Notion is committed to providing highly competitive cash compensation, equity, and benefits. The compensation offered for this role will be based on multiple factors such as location, the role’s scope and complexity, and the candidate’s experience and expertise, and may vary from the range provided below. For roles based in San Francisco or New York City, the estimated base salary range for this role is $135,000 - $151,000 per year.

By clicking “Submit Application”, I understand and agree that Notion and its affiliates and subsidiaries will collect and process my information in accordance with Notion’s [Global Recruiting Privacy Policy](https://notion.notion.site/Notion-Global-Recruiting-Privacy-Policy-fc3eb4e829354a26a2bb6fd5e289b550?pvs=74) and [NYLL 144](https://notion.notion.site/Ashby-AI-Bias-Audit-2b0efdeead05803bbbfae159ec86c528).

A Note on AI You don’t need deep AI expertise for every role, but we do expect every Notino to be intellectually curious, drawn to tinkering and discovery, and excited to use AI as a real collaborator in their work. For some roles, AI fluency is a core requirement — when that’s the case, we'll say so explicitly in the qualifications. People who thrive here don’t treat AI as a novelty. They use it to think better, and make their work easier for others to build on.

## Equal Opportunity & Accommodations

We hire talented people from a wide range of backgrounds. If you’re excited about this role but don’t meet every bullet, we still encourage you to apply. Notion is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of any legally protected characteristic. Consistent with applicable law, we will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records. Notion provides reasonable accommodations during the application process; if you need one, please let your recruiter know.

Notion is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate in hiring or any employment decision based on race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions), marital status, ancestry, physical or mental disability, genetic information, veteran status, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, or other applicable legally protected characteristic.
