What you'll own Talent Acquisition (~80%)

● Sourcing and pipeline: building and running sourcing strategy for open roles, keeping pipelines full enough that hiring managers are never waiting on you

● Co-founder and hiring manager partnership: sharpening JDs, running intake calls, and holding HMs accountable for fast, transparent feedback on candidates

● Candidate experience: running a screening and interview process that moves fast and treats candidates well, from first outreach to offer

● Agency and vendor coordination: managing external recruiting agencies where they're used (e.g., US hiring), keeping them accountable to quality and turnaround

● Reporting and process: tracking pipeline health, time-to-fill, and source effectiveness; flagging bottlenecks before they become escalations

● Onboarding handoff: working with the Ops/Admin teammate so new hires land well, not just get a laptop and a Slack invite

HR mentoring and support (~20%)

● Mentoring the HR team: being a sounding board for the HR team on judgment calls, escalations,



and how to handle things they haven't seen before

● Helping figure out and guide HR, not run it day to day: working alongside the HR team on performance frameworks, policy, and process design, without owning execution of any of it

● Connecting TA and HR: making sure what you're seeing in the market and in hiring (comp benchmarks, candidate expectations, attrition signals) actually informs how HR builds its frameworks

What this role is

● A doers’ seat: you're sourcing, screening, and closing candidates yourself, not just managing a dashboard.

● Coach and Manage: Manage the other TA and HR team members and their outcomes.

● Built for range: in a given week you might be closing a candidate, sitting in on a policy discussion, and coaching someone on how to handle a tricky HR conversation

● A growth track: as the team and function scale, this role is a natural path towards TA/HR leader

Best Fit

● 7-12 years of experience in Talent A
