About the role

We're looking for a Director of Talent & People Operations to own how Scanner attracts, hires, develops, and retains exceptional people as we enter our next stage of growth. You'll take over the Talent and People foundation currently managed by our Head of Operations including recruiting, HRIS, payroll, benefits, and employee operations and build the strategy and systems we need as the company scales.

What they're looking for

  • 8–12+ years across Talent, Recruiting, and People, with substantial experience in high-growth technology companies
  • Firsthand experience helping a company rapidly double or triple in size and building the Talent and People infrastructure required to support that growth
  • Deep recruiting expertise across both technical roles including Engineering and Product and GTM roles across Sales and Marketing
  • Proven ability to build recruiting programs, People systems, processes, and operating rhythms from an earlier stage
  • Strong hands-on recruiting ability: you're still comfortable sourcing, running searches, interviewing, and closing difficult candidates
  • Strong People Operations fundamentals across HRIS, payroll, benefits, compensation, compliance, onboarding, performance, and the employee lifecycle

We're also the Security Data Lake built for AI. More than a third of our customers have built agents on Scanner since we launched MCP support weeks ago, for automated investigation, detection...
