    based on evolving customer needs, risk patterns, and technology opportunities across the security and workforce ecosystems.
  • Design
    commercial strategy and GTM alignment
    , including pricing, packaging, and ecosystem partnerships (e.g., CLEAR, , Workday, Oracle, Bullhorn, Paradox).
  • Integrate fraud intelligence, AI modeling, and risk-scoring frameworks to continuously improve detection accuracy and signal coverage.
  • Partner with sales, marketing, and analyst relations to position Crosschq as the
    category leader in Hiring Fraud Prevention.

    and partner strategies.
  • Exceptional executive communication and cross-functional leadership skills.
  • Experience in HR Tech or Talent Acquisition
    is a plus, but not required.
