As Talent Lead, you will own the strategy and execution of everything related to hiring — from top-of-funnel sourcing to closing, onboarding, and org design. You will be responsible for ensuring that Tandem stays ahead of its talent curve, not behind it. This role blends operator mindset, systems thinking, and high-urgency recruiting execution. You will build a high-quality, high-velocity hiring engine across technical, business, and leadership roles, while helping the rest of the team raise their hiring bar and make faster, better people decisions. You will partner directly with the CEO and executive team on hiring goals, headcount planning, leveling, and compensation, and build the infrastructure to support it all. You will also coach and manage our early recruiters and help define what great looks like for recruiting at Tandem as we grow. This is a rare opportunity to own the full-stack talent function in a company that takes hiring incredibly seriously and views it as core to its competitive edge. We are committed to making Tandem a company that is known for the quality of its team and that hyper talented individuals dream of joining.
Job Responsibility:
Lead end-to-end hiring across engineering, AI, product, GTM, operations, and leadership
Build and manage a structured, outbound-heavy recruiting engine that moves fast and hits the bar

Own recruiting strategy as a business function, forecasting needs, tracking funnel performance, and optimizing hiring ROI
Manage and coach individual contributor recruiters (starting with a strong founding recruiter already in place)
Design and evolve interview processes, candidate experience, and top-of-funnel programs
Lay the foundation for broader talent infrastructure — onboarding, contractor sourcing, people systems, and employer brand
Requirements:
6–12 years in recruiting, talent strategy, or operations, ideally at a high-growth startup or in a top-tier hiring org
Proven ability to build or scale fast, effective hiring engines across functions and levels

Excellent written and verbal communication, with exceptional ability to pitch top-tier candidates and quality taste for language in JDs and other external material
Track record of moving quickly, finding shortcuts, and going to unreasonable lengths to deliver on goals
High NPS with your former teammates
