About the Company

Our Client is a startup studio that founds and builds data-driven software companies. Led by serial entrepreneurs with over $1B in exits, they create products that tackle complex business problems rooted in data and AI. They don't just advise - they roll up our sleeves and partner with product-centric co-founders who bring grit, humility, and clock-speed.

About the Role

The Head of Recruiting is both strategist and doer - personally leading high-value searches (from co-founders to specialized engineers), shaping their talent brand alongside marketing, and helping portfolio founders make their earliest, most critical hires. In this hands-on role, you'll work closely with company's leaders, co-founders, and teams to anticipate business needs, build targeted pipelines, and drive end-to-end recruiting strategies.

On occasion, you'll collaborate with external agencies and guide a small, growing team.

  • Network effectively within the tech ecosystem to strategically build a pipeline of talent for diverse opportunities as well as cofounders who would be a strong mutual fit with organization.
  • Partner with marketing to build organization's talent brand; design and run events, campaigns, and creative outreach to attract rare talent
  • Independently test and own talent positioning and messaging, iterating rapidly based on response
  • Ensure that we are constantly aware of and responsive to changes in the talent market

Qualifications

  • Proven ability to run highly specialized, search-oriented recruiting efforts for hard-to-find, high-value roles, from early tenure engineering roles to senior CXO level hires
  • Good talent network and credibility within the engineering, product and GTM community
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to influence people at all levels in the organization
  • A "doer" mentality with the ability to translate vision into action, and a strong growth mindset

Required Skills

  • High-energy, proactive, and thrives on hustle
  • Confident, credible, able to hold their own in conversations with highly technical or entrepreneurial talent
  • Naturally extroverted and willing to make new connections, especially in unconventional spaces and with non-social technical talent
  • Structured, data-driven, and creative problem solver
  • Comfortable with ambiguity, fast learner, experiments over playbook
  • Collaborative, able to influence and challenge constructively

Preferred Skills

  • A rare opportunity to shape 10+ startups from inception, in parallel
  • Central role that will work closely with entire team and portfolio leadership
  • Gain inside access to company formation, and build a career path toward founding, VC, or scaling leadership
