About the role

As our founding US teams in New York and Austin begin to scale, we're hiring a Talent Partner to build out the US hiring function. You'll be the first dedicated Talent hire in the region, owning how we attract and assess US talent and laying the foundation for our entire US operation.

What they're looking for

  • An experienced full-lifecycle recruiter, able to support and own end-to-end hiring independently in a high-ambiguity environment
  • A specialist in hiring go-to-market talent into high-bar, fast-moving organisations, who understands what separates a strong hire from an average one
  • A strong sourcer, for whom building an outbound pipeline is a standard part of their rhythm
  • Data-driven and comfortable owning a funnel, using the numbers to troubleshoot, advise, and forecast
  • An advanced user of AI tools to improve the speed, efficiency, and quality of hiring
  • Experience in VC-backed enterprise AI/SaaS preferred
More about this role

Frontline work keeps the world running. Restaurants, hospitals, schools, nurseries, airlines, stores, emergency services. Together they employ 80% of the global workforce, over 3 billion people, and they're among the hardest businesses anywhere to run. By-the-minute scheduling, HR and payroll make them far more operationally complex than the average office, yet just 1% of venture funding has ever gone to software built for them.

Rising costs, wage increases, labor shortages and tighter regulation have made fixing that urgent. Sona is the AI-native workforce management platform for frontline organizations, with agents that match staffing to real demand and take the admin load off managers. That's a $500bn+ market the software industry has mostly walked past.

We've raised over $100M from N47, Felicis, Gradient and Northzone, signed more than 100 enterprise customers across the UK and US, and opened offices in London, New York, Austin and Lisbon. More on working at Sona here .
