Job Description:

We're looking for a Head of Talent to build and scale our recruiting and people function from the ground up. As our dedicated talent leader, you'll be the architect of how we grow—owning end-to-end recruiting while simultaneously laying the foundation for people operations that will serve us well beyond 100 employees. This isn't just about filling seats; it's about shaping who we become as a company.

Job Responsibility:

Own full-cycle recruiting across technical and non-technical roles, from sourcing strategy through offer negotiation and close
Partner strategically with hiring managers to understand team needs, define role requirements, and build candidate profiles
Build an exceptional candidate experience that reflects our values
Develop and execute creative sourcing strategies
Establish recruiting metrics that matter
Act as the face of the company to candidates
Design and implement onboarding processes that set new hires up for success
Own performance management frameworks
Expand the HR infrastructure we'll need to scale
Create the early culture-building initiatives
Partner with leadership on organizational design questions
Set up data and analytics practices to measure what's working
Own benefits strategy and compensation processes

Requirements:

6+ years of recruiting experience, with substantial time spent on full-cycle recruiting for both technical and non-technical roles
Proven track record of building or scaling recruiting functions at high-growth startups or tech companies
Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
Metrics-driven mindset with the ability to use data to improve processes, measure success, and make the case for resources
Highly organized with the ability to juggle multiple priorities without dropping balls
Comfort with ambiguity and building from scratch
Fit with our culture: Bias for action and a roll-up-your-sleeves mentality
Humility and openness to feedback
Solutions-orientation
Competitive drive and desire to win
Learning mindset

Nice to have:

Experience setting up people operations infrastructure
Experience hiring across our specific functional areas (engineering, product, go-to-market, etc.)
Familiarity with modern recruiting tools and HRIS systems (LinkedIn Recruiter, Greenhouse, BambooHR, etc.)
Background in building employer brand and recruitment marketing
Previous experience as a founding or early people hire at a startup
Passion for creating inclusive, equitable recruiting and people practices

What we offer:

Comprehensive health coverage: medical, dental, vision, and life insurance
Cutting-edge work in an emerging field with huge growth potential
Competitive compensation packages
A modern, newly renovated HQ right on Main Street in El Segundo, CA
401(k) with a 4% company match
Flexible paid time off
Additional benefits include ClassPass credits and a discount on pet insurance
A family-friendly, compassionate culture that values balance and belonging
