About the Role As

VP of Talent Acquisition , you will build and lead the talent engine that powers interface.ai through its next phase of growth. You will define the hiring strategy, establish scalable recruiting processes, elevate talent density across all functions, and strengthen our employer brand globally.

You will partner closely with leaders across Product, Engineering, GTM, Customer Success, and Operations to ensure we attract and hire exceptional people at speed while maintaining a high talent bar. This role requires a blend of strategic thinking, operational rigor, and hands‑on execution to support rapid global scaling.

Why This is a Compelling Opportunity

Build the talent engine for a $200B+ platform shift in banking

– interface.ai is replatforming how banks interact with customers, replacing legacy IVR/chat and fragmented tools with a single AI experience layer. You'll design the talent strategy that powers this transformation.

Own hiring for a category‑defining AI company

– Our BankGPT‑powered universal banking assistant is positioned to displace age‑old systems and become the primary CX layer for financial institutions. You'll be responsible for bringing in the builders, sellers, and operators who make that a reality.

Founder‑level impact on org shape and talent bar.

– Reporting into and partnering closely with the CEO and exec team, you will define what “great” looks like across every function, build the leadership layer, and hard‑wire a high‑talent‑bar culture across the U.S. and India.

Scale with real customers, real stakes.

– With millions of banking conversations processed on our platform and 100+ institutions in our orbit, every great hire you make shows up directly in product velocity, customer outcomes, and revenue.

Mission with teeth.

– In a world where most Americans live paycheck to paycheck and financial literacy is low, the teams you build will help put financial well‑being on autopilot for millions of people.
