About Nulixir

Nulixir is a VC+PE‑backed B2B nano‑biotechnology company building smart nanocarriers (Nusomes) that optimize functional ingredients in Food & Beverage (e.g., nootropics, energy, vitamins, probiotics, proteins). We’re redefining how functionality is delivered in “intelligent food.” Founded in 2019, our team blends CPG veterans, cancer researchers, US attorneys, and nutritionists; our board includes senior executive leaders from Pepsi, Danone, McKinsey & Company, Paine Schwartz Partners, and more.

Why this role matters

• Orchestrate an excellent candidate experience: timely comms, prep, feedback loops, and tight coordination.

Raise the bar

• Lead continuous improvement—A/B test outreach, refine scorecards, close loop on declines, and coach interviewers.
• Partner with HR on onboarding to ensure Day‑1 readiness and a smooth 30/60/90 ramp.

What you bring

• 5+ years in Recruiting Operations, Talent Acquisition, or related hiring leadership in a fast‑paced environment.
• Mastery of sourcing strategies, structured selection methodologies, and interviewer/candidate experience design.
• Strong program management and prioritization; you keep multiple searches and stakeholders on‑track.

• Clear, candid communicator who builds trust with candidates, hiring managers, and execs.
• Working knowledge of employment law/compliance and a demonstrated commitment to DEI in hiring.
