We are seeking a Head of Tech Recruiting to lead our efforts to attract, engage, and hire the very best AI/ML researchers and engineers. This role is highly visible and critical, partnering directly with our executive team to shape the future of Genesis through talent. This role is both strategic and hands‑on.

Be both a leader and an operator: Balance high‑level strategy with hands‑on recruiting, managing critical searches from sourcing to close. Partner with executives: Work closely with leadership on talent strategy, hiring forecasts, and organizational planning. Drive recruiting operational excellence: Build and optimize our systems (Ashby ATS, sourcing tools, interview training, employment branding, assessments) for efficiency and scalability. Lead academic + conference strategies: Build partnerships with top universities, and design/execute recruiting presence at key conferences (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML). Employer branding: Position Genesis as a destination for world‑class technical talent. Use data to inform decisions: Track, analyze, and communicate recruiting metrics to drive accountability and improvement. Provide strategic leadership across recruiting partnerships: Offer direction and oversight for internal recruiting support (including the RC and contractors), and external partners (agencies, portfolio networks) to advance Genesis’ technical hiring goals.

A track record of successfully hiring senior‑level technical talent in highly competitive markets. Ability to operate at both strategic and tactical levels, shifting fluidly between long‑term planning and hands‑on execution. Experience designing and improving recruiting processes with operational excellence as a focus. Data‑driven and fluent with recruiting metrics; Ashby experience a plus. Strong executive presence, with the ability to influence and advise senior leadership. Biotech experience not required — curiosity and fast learning are highly valued. Emotional intelligence, resilience, and the ability to close candidates with the right balance of consideration, transparency, and drive. Demonstrated ability to work in a fast‑paced environment.
