Partner closely with the founders to iterate on sourcing strategy and improve response times and coordination
Move recruiting from intuition-based to a more systematic, scalable approach as the team grows

1-4 years of experience in recruiting, talent, or a closely related function (strong candidates with internship experience and exceptional drive will be considered)

A genuine desire to specialize in talent and grow into a Head of Talent role over time
Highly organized, fast-moving, and comfortable owning coordination across many moving parts
