Your RoleLeading pharma and biotech companies trust Unlearn to deliver scientifically rigorous work on clinical studies where the stakes are high and the timelines are real.
As our Senior Technical Recruiter, you'll lead full-cycle recruiting to build the teams that do this work. You'll report to the Director of HR on the Finance & Operations team and partner closely with our Clinical Delivery, Commercial, Engineering, Product and R&D teams to understand what each role needs and what great looks like.
This role is execution-focused and metrics-driven, with a strong emphasis on quality and values alignment. Many of our roles are niche, so a rigorous hiring process is key to finding the right match. You won't be starting from scratch: we have a solid talent acquisition foundation in place and a compelling organization brand. We're always looking to improve it, though, and we'd welcome your ideas for shaping the role and the function to grow.
This is a remote role. If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, you are welcome to come to our office on a hybrid schedule. If you are remote, we would require an initial 1-week onboarding in San Francisco and visiting the office 1-2 times per year in addition.
If this role sounds interesting to you, we encourage you to apply!
