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:
We’re hiring the first recruiter on the ground in Singapore to build Notion’s GTM team across Southeast Asia. You’ll own GTM hiring end to end and help build the next evolution of our go-to-market organization, recruiting for new and evolving customer-facing roles, including BDRs, Solutions Consultants, Outcomes Architects, Forward Deployed Architects, Forward Deployed Engineers, and field sales leadership, that bring stronger technical fluency, deeper customer ownership, and fewer handoffs to enterprise selling. You’ll partner closely with the Country Manager, Singapore, sales leadership, and cross-functional teams to turn an emerging business strategy into clear profiles, thoughtful processes, and exceptional hires.
You’ll inherit a global recruiting playbook and develop the operating rhythm for the region. You’ll also have a direct hand in shaping the culture of the SEA team as it forms, and be the subject matter expert on the ground.
You’ll use Notion every day in the same way our customers do, giving you firsthand insight into the workflows and AI transformation behind the roles you are hiring for, and help build a new GTM motion at the intersection of AI, workflow design, enterprise transformation, and customer outcomes. The work requires craft, clarity, speed, and strong judgment, balancing business urgency with a high bar for talent density. We work from our Singapore office 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:
- Own Singapore and SEA GTM hiring, from BDRs and Solutions Consultants to Outcomes Architects and field sales leadership, and help shape what the team looks like as it scales.
- Establish the recruiting motion locally by building the process, systems, stakeholder rhythms, and candidate experience for SEA.
- Help shape the culture of the SEA team as it forms, setting the hiring bar and the candidate experience that define what it feels like to join Notion here.
- Partner directly with APAC GTM leadership on org design, role definition, market realities, and hiring decisions, and be the advisor they trust on what is achievable in the market.
- Own complex and ambiguous searches end to end, setting strategy, diagnosing problems, pivoting when needed, and driving toward an outcome without waiting for direction.
- Build deep Singapore and APAC talent networks and market intelligence, and use both to improve where and how Notion competes for talent.
- Navigate high-stakes candidate and stakeholder situations, including compensation and closing conversations, with clarity and strong judgment.
- Identify patterns across roles and regions and drive solutions that improve how the wider Recruiting team works.
- Mentor teammates and share repeatable practices as the APAC team scales.
SKILLS YOU'LL NEED TO BRING:
- A strong record of GTM hiring in Singapore and APAC across BDR, sales, solutions consulting, and field leadership roles.
- Deep recruiting craft across sourcing, assessment, candidate engagement, offer strategy, and close.
- A strong record of delivering complex, ambiguous, or first-of searches and building the playbook when one does not exist.
- Experience influencing senior sales leaders as a talent advisor and recruiting subject matter expert.
- Strong situational awareness and business maturity, with the judgment to navigate competing priorities and know when to push back or escalate.
- A systems mindset and evidence of improving team practices beyond your own portfolio.
- Curiosity, learning agility, and a hands-on approach to AI tools that improve recruiting quality and leverage.
NICE TO HAVES:
- Experience as an early recruiting hire in a market or region, setting up the motion while hiring at pace.
- Experience owning the end-to-end hiring process at a global SaaS company.
- Experience hiring across multiple APAC markets.

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.
