About the role
Legion is hiring a Head of Talent and People to build the talent engine and people operating system behind a category-defining healthcare company. You will be the senior-most owner of People and Talent at Legion. You will own the entire employee journey—from the first outbound recruiting message through interviews, closing, relocation, onboarding, performance, development, compensation, engagement, and eventual offboarding.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years of progressively responsible experience spanning recruiting, talent leadership, People Operations, HR, or organizational leadership at high-growth technology companies
- Experience serving as the first, early, or senior-most People and Talent hire at a venture-backed startup—ideally while scaling from approximately 25–50 employees to 100–150+
- Demonstrated success personally sourcing, assessing, and closing exceptional passive candidates for difficult roles. You are still energized by recruiting and do not consider sourcing or coordination beneath your level
- Strong technical-recruiting ability across AI, engineering, data, and product, plus the versatility to recruit consumer growth, operations, clinical leadership, finance, and executive talent
- Evidence that your hires became high-performing, durable members of the organization—not simply that you hit an annual hiring number
- Experience building recruiting infrastructure from zero or rebuilding an inconsistent system: workforce planning, scorecards, structured interviews, interviewer training, referrals, sourcing operations, analytics, employer branding, and closing

Our technical moat is hard to copy—we combine rich data, production AI, doctors in the loop , and end-to-end care operations to deliver measurably better care to a clinically complex patient population. This has helped us produce tens of thousands of total visits in just 2 years , all while holding ops costs flat and achieving industry-leading patient NPS and retention. While the last generation of healthcare startups made the existing system incrementally more efficient, Legion is rebuilding full-stack care...
