This is a high-impact, strategic yet hands-on recruiting role where you will act as a key driver of talent strategy across the organization while still deeply owning full-cycle execution. You will partner directly with executives and hiring managers to define hiring needs, shape role expectations, and build structured, high-quality interview processes. The environment is fast-moving and highly collaborative, requiring someone who is comfortable switching between strategic advisory work and individual contributor execution on complex searches. You will recruit across technical, product, operational, and customer-facing roles, acting as a true generalist talent expert. A strong emphasis is placed on building diverse, high-performing teams while continuously improving recruiting systems and practices. This role also offers the autonomy to leverage modern tools, including AI, to transform how recruiting is delivered at scale.

• Partner closely with executives and hiring managers as a strategic advisor, defining role requirements, leveling frameworks, interview design, and hiring bar calibration
• Proactively build and manage diverse talent pipelines through direct sourcing, market mapping, and targeted outreach rather than relying on inbound applicants

• Leverage AI tools and recruiting technologies to enhance sourcing, outreach, screening, and pipeline analysis while continuously improving efficiency and quality
• Own compensation discussions in partnership with total rewards, including benchmarking, pay equity considerations, and offer negotiation
• Manage external agencies when required, ensuring accountability, alignment, and performance against hiring needs
• Track, analyze, and report on recruiting metrics such as time-to-fill, pipeline health, source effectiveness, and offer acceptance rates
• Continuously improve recruiting processes, tools, and systems including ATS usage, interviewer training, and hiring workflows

Requirements:

• 8+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, including senior, technical, and commercial roles in fast-paced environments
• Strong background in startup, SaaS, and/or healthcare or health tech recruiting environments
• Proven ability to operate as a generalist across diverse role types and rapidly shifting hiring priorities
• Experience advising executives and senior stakeholders with confidence, clarity, and strong business acumen
• Demonstrated ability to independently run recruiting processes in lean or high-autonomy environments
• Strong sourcing skills with a track record of building proactive and diverse pipelines
• Solid understanding of compensation benchmarking, pay equity principles, and offer negotiation strategies
• Hands-on experience integrating AI tools into recruiting workflows with clear impact on speed or quality
• Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to manage multiple stakeholders and competing priorities
• Deep commitment to building inclusive and diverse teams through structured hiring practices

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation aligned with senior-level recruiting impact
• Fully remote work within the United States (continental U.S. eligibility required)
• Opportunity to operate with high autonomy and influence hiring strategy at company level
• Exposure to executive leadership and cross-functional strategic decision-making
• Access to modern recruiting tools and freedom to integrate AI into daily workflows
• High-impact role shaping team growth and organizational capability at scale
• Collaborative, fast-paced environment with strong ownership culture
• Opportunity to build and refine scalable recruiting systems and processes
