Talent Acquisition Lead

Talent Acquisition Lead

📍 New York City (hybrid)

💲 $200,000-$260,000 base plus equity

🚀 Series B – High-Growth Tech Startup

We’re partnering with a fast-growing, venture-backed technology company that’s entering a significant phase of growth and looking to appoint a Talent Acquisition Lead to help scale the organization through its next chapter.

As a senior individual contributor, you’ll take ownership of hiring across Engineering, Product, GTM, and Operations while partnering directly with founders and senior leadership to build the processes, infrastructure, and talent strategy required to support a rapidly expanding business.

The successful candidate will be an exceptional hands-on recruiter who enjoys sourcing hard-to-find talent, influencing business leaders, and helping create a world-class hiring function from the ground up.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

✅ Join a well-funded, high-growth business at a pivotal stage of scale

✅ Partner directly with founders, executives, and functional leaders

✅ Own recruiting across both technical and non-technical functions

✅ Build and improve hiring processes, interview frameworks, and recruiting operations

✅ Significant influence on workforce planning and growth strategy

✅ High-impact individual contributor role with substantial visibility

✅ Meaningful equity opportunity alongside a highly competitive compensation package

What We’re Looking For

• Full-cycle recruiting experience, including experience within high-growth, venture-backed startups
• Proven success recruiting for both technical and business-focused functions
• Strong experience hiring software engineers, product talent, and operational or commercial roles
• Advanced sourcing capabilities and a track record of proactively identifying and engaging passive candidates
• Experience leveraging ATS platforms, recruiting technology, and talent analytics
• Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence and advise senior leaders
• Comfortable operating in fast-paced, evolving environments where priorities can shift quickly
• Data-driven approach combined with strong business and commercial acumen

The Right Person

We’re seeking someone who thrives in a high-growth environment and genuinely enjoys building. You’ll be energized by the challenge of helping a business scale, comfortable operating with autonomy, and motivated by seeing your work directly impact company growth.

This role is ideal for a recruiter who wants more than simply filling positions. You’ll enjoy partnering closely with leadership, influencing hiring decisions, improving how work gets done, and serving as a trusted talent advisor across the organization.

If you’re someone who combines a hands-on approach with an ownership mentality and wants the opportunity to grow alongside a scaling business, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply directly or message me for a confidential discussion.
