OpenGov is on a mission to power more effective and accountable government — and our talent team is at the center of that growth. We're looking for a Senior Recruiter to join us on a short-term contract basis (2–3 months) to help execute against an active hiring load across our Sales and Professional Services organizations. This is a full-cycle, high-ownership role — you'll hit the ground running, partner directly with hiring managers, and drive pipeline without a ramp-up period. If you're a seasoned recruiter who thrives in fast-paced environments and can operate with a high degree of autonomy, this is your kind of engagement.
