## About the role

Own the talent function end to end: build and run the hiring engine (sourcing pipelines, interview processes, offer strategy) needed to roughly double headcount over the next year without lowering the bar Design and implement scalable, data-driven recruiting systems and dashboards that give leadership real-time visibility into pipeline health, time-to-fill, and quality of hire across every function

## What they're looking for

- You've built and scaled a talent function at a high-growth startup before, ideally through a headcount-doubling stretch, and you have the systems and playbooks to prove it
- Deeply systems and data oriented, you think about hiring as an engineering problem, including pipelines, funnels, conversion rates, and forecasting, not just relationships
- Genuinely energized by high-performance, merit-driven cultures
- Comfortable operating with high agency and ambiguity, you build the plane while flying it
- Sharp, fast-moving, and detail-obsessed, nothing about the candidate or employee experience is beneath you
- Strong opinions, held loosely, you communicate directly and expect the same from others
