Drive inclusive hiring practices, ensuring diverse candidate pipelines and equitable processes.
Partner with leadership on headcount planning, org design, and evolving business needs.
Provide market intelligence — compensation benchmarking, competitive landscape, and insights on how to position startups vs. big tech.
Develop and manage sourcing channels — direct sourcing, agency partnerships, investor networks, and sourcing platforms like Paraform.
Track and analyze recruiting performance, defining and reporting KPIs such as source of hire, conversion rates, and time to fill.
Champion employer branding and storytelling, helping candidates understand the impact, momentum, and equity upside of joining a fast‑moving startup.
Eventually build and lead the recruiting team — defining roles, playbooks, and culture for a world‑class hiring function.

(Series A–E), ideally in
AI, SaaS, or deep tech .

Proven ability to source and close 10–15 hires per year in competitive markets.
Deep understanding of startup talent markets and what attracts candidates to early‑stage opportunities.
Prior

Comfortable being both strategic and hands‑on — you can design systems and run searches yourself.
Skilled in market positioning and storytelling — selling the mission, team, and growth trajectory over brand‑name safety.
Experience with recruiting tools like
Ashby, Greenhouse, Gem, HireEZ , or similar ATS and sourcing platforms.
Strong operational mindset: track metrics, identify bottlenecks, and continuously improve processes.
Experience managing agency partnerships and contingent recruiters.
Thrive in ambiguous, fast‑paced environments; scrappy and biased toward action.
