Full Job Description
About the Role

Commure is building the AI Operating System for healthcare and we're looking for a Head of Talent to build the team that builds it.

We're at an inflection point. With a $7B valuation, $70M in recent funding, 500K+ clinicians on our platform, and recognition on the Fortune Future 50 list, the mission is proven. Now we need a Talent leader who can match the pace of what we're building and raise the bar on who we bring in to build it.

This is not a coordination role. You will own the full talent function including strategy, execution, and outcomes. You'll lead and build the recruiting team, define how we identify and close the best engineers, clinical operators, and go-to-market talent in the country, and partner directly with senior leadership to translate hiring priorities into pipeline. You'll set the standard for candidate experience, define what great looks like at Commure, and build the infrastructure that scales with us.

What this takes: a builder's instinct, a bias toward speed, and the judgment to know when to move fast and when to slow down and get it right. You've hired at scale before ideally at a high-growth health tech or enterprise SaaS company and you know the difference between filling seats and building a team that actually wins.

The gap between the people you hire and their impact on patient care is immediate here. That's what makes this hard. It's also what makes it worth doing.

If you're energized by high stakes, high standards, and a company operating at the edge of what healthcare technology can do, this is the role!

What You'll Do
  • Own the full talent function end-to-end from headcount planning and sourcing strategy through offer close and onboarding handoff ensuring Commure consistently hires the people who raise the bar
  • Partner directly with the CEO and senior leadership to translate business priorities into hiring plans, pipeline targets, and talent strategies that scale with the company's growth trajectory
  • Lead, build, and develop a high-performing global recruiting team, setting standards, coaching execution, and creating an environment where recruiters do the best work
  • Define and enforce what great looks like at Commure building structured interview frameworks, calibration processes, and scorecards that drive consistent, high-quality hiring decisions across every function
  • Own employer brand and candidate experience from first touch to first day ensuring every candidate interaction reflects the quality, speed, and integrity of how Commure operates
  • Build and maintain the recruiting infrastructure that scales ATS configuration, sourcing tools, offer strategy, compensation benchmarking, and the operational processes that keep a high-velocity team running without breaking
  • Drive recruiting analytics and reporting to senior leadership, tracking pipeline health, time-to-fill, quality of hire, offer acceptance rates, and source effectiveness to make real-time investment decisions
  • Identify and close top passive talent across EPD, GTM, Clinical, and G&A -personally leading searches for the most senior and strategic hires while enabling the team to execute across the full req load


What You Have:
  • 12+ years in talent acquisition with at least 5 years leading and managing a recruiting function/team at a high-growth technology company or relevant experience
  • Demonstrated experience scaling a team through a high-velocity growth period
  • Track record hiring across EPD, GTM, G&A and clinical or healthcare-adjacent functions
  • 5+ years of people management experience
  • Experience building or significantly rebuilding recruiting infrastructure, ATS, process, tooling, and team
  • Prior experience at a health tech, digital health, or enterprise SaaS company strongly preferred
