Client - Series A, raised over USD 15MN, Growing rapidly, AI SAAS in Revenue Reconcillation space We are in a hyper-growth mode. We're scaling past 100+ full-time employees across India and the US. We are building an A-lister team and processeses built to scale, not just get us through the next few hires. We need someone who can own talent acquisition end-to-end while also helping shape the HR side of the function as it grows.

This is a Player-coach role: you'll lead a team of 3 across TA/HR +

interns, while also staying hands-on yourself as an IC recruiter.

The role is roughly 80% TA, 20% HR. You're the one running hiring day to day, and you're also the senior voice helping the HR team figure out process, policy, and the people-side of scaling, without owning day to day HR execution yourself. You'll own sourcing and pipeline across India and US roles, work directly with the co-founders on headcount planning and with hiring managers to keep requisitions moving, and partner with your Ops/admin teammates on the onboarding handoff.

Alongside that, you'll spend time with the

HR team mentoring, sanity-checking decisions, and helping figure out the frameworks (performance, policy, comp) that let HR scale.

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, clear 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 A growth track : as the team and function scale, this role is a natural path towards TA/HR leader Best Fit 9-12 years of experience in Talent Acquisition,

with genuine curiosity or prior exposure to HR/HRBP work

Comfortable owning full-cycle recruiting independently - sourcing through offer - without heavy hand-holding Experience managing a team of 2 or more people in TA/HR Startup experience preferred:

comfortable with ambiguity and building process as you go rather than inheriting one. Prior experience at a high-growth Series A–D

B2B AI/SaaS company where you helped scale the TA motion during a growth phase Have seen a headcount scale from 80 employees to 300+

Direct, plain communicator: with candidates, hiring managers,

agencies, and the HR team alike Experience hiring for US roles from

India is a robust plus, given the market gap that makes this hard to run solo
