Senior Talent Acquisition Partner

Description

The company is a private equity-backed SaaS business with high growth, building one integrated platform for the public safety sector, covering dispatch, law enforcement, forensics, courts and related areas.

Growth has come through acquisitions and sustained product investment, all aimed at helping public safety agencies make better decisions when stakes are high.

The company's software runs behind everyday work such as answering 911 calls, detective casework and forensic lab processing, and has done so for over four decades.

AI is treated as core infrastructure rather than an add-on, built into customer workflows together with those customers.

The team is small in scope, senior in level, and focused on work that lasts beyond a single sprint and connects to real outcomes.
