Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
CommerceIQ sits in the modern B2B SaaS layer powering digital commerce operations for brands, where product value is tied closely to measurable outcomes across marketplaces and retail media. A Principal Recruiter role in this context is notable because hiring demand spans both customer-facing functions and the technical org, reflecting a platform business that must balance go-to-market execution with continued product and engineering investment.
For a SaaS recruiting career, the remit offers durable exposure to the mechanics of scaling: translating hiring manager needs into search strategy, running full-cycle processes, and calibrating talent across different job families. Supporting Customer Success and GTM hiring while also contributing to engineering and product pipelines builds a sharper understanding of how SaaS teams interlock—from post-sale retention and expansion to roadmap delivery—skills that travel well across subscription businesses.
This role fits a recruiter who prefers ownership end-to-end and is comfortable operating as a strategic partner to multiple stakeholders. It will appeal to someone motivated by domain-specific sourcing (retail media, advertising, e-commerce) and by the cadence of an onsite headquarters environment where relationship-building with hiring teams is a daily part of the work.
