AI Motion Designer. Backed by Accel.

About the role

You are my right hand on talent. Recruiting at Hera isn't a support function, it's how we win. You'll sit close enough to the founders to know exactly why each role is critical, how our narrative is evolving week to week, and how to tell that story to the exact person we need in the room. When the pitch shifts, you shift with it. When a candidate hesitates, you know which thread to pull.

What they're looking for

  • You sell a mission, not a job. Candidates leave a conversation with you believing in Hera's mission and their specific place in it. You can hold the whole company narrative in your head, and you quickly adapt as our narrative evolves
  • You're a hunter. You'd rather build a pipeline from zero than manage inbound. You're relentless on sourcing, fluent with AI tools, and treat "no response" as the start of a sequence, not the end of one
  • You've run full-cycle recruiting. You've closed candidates across technical and non-technical roles, and you know that a founding engineer, a clinician, and a BD lead each need a completely different pitch
  • You obsess over candidate experience. You know every interaction is brand-building, and that how we treat the people we don't hire says as much about us as how we treat the ones we do
  • You're a builder. You thrive bringing clarity to ambiguity. You track your own metrics, you're rigorous about what's working, and you iterate without being told
  • You read people deeply. You catch the hesitation a candidate hasn't said out loud and know whether it's comp, conviction, or a partner in another city
More about this role

Every complex system in America has a profession whose job it is to be your trusted guide. A lawyer for legal. An accountant for taxes. A financial advisor for your money. Healthcare, a trillion-dollar industry that touches every single family, leaves us on our own.

99% of care happens when someone steps outside the four walls of a doctor's office. Hera is creating a new profession in healthcare to fill that last mile gap: the Hero, a dedicated care manager for your family. Our Heroes educate, coordinate, and advocate for the most vulnerable population. We're covered by insurance, so we can serve every family in America.

We’re cultivating a team that can run through walls together to take care of the generation that raised us. The DNA of our team and the bar we hold for each other will shape the trajectory of the company. You will craft every touchpoint our future team experiences and how they spend time getting to know us. This is one of the most important roles at the company.

We've raised $34M from Accel and Bain Capital Ventures and 10x'ed revenue over the last 6 months organically through close partnerships with Weill Cornell, NYU Langone, UCSF, USC, and Mount Sinai. The...
