Principal Talent Acquisition Partner

Role overview

This is a senior recruiting position for a partner company, with applications and follow-up handled by that employer. The role is based in the United States and is designed for someone who can combine strategic talent advisory with hands-on delivery.

You will influence hiring strategy across the business while also managing end-to-end recruiting for complex searches. The work is highly collaborative and fast paced, requiring comfort moving between executive-level guidance and individual contributor execution. You will support hiring across technical, product, operational, and customer-facing functions, with a strong focus on building diverse, high-performing teams and improving hiring systems. The role also allows you to use modern tools, including AI, to improve recruiting at scale.

Accountabilities

• Lead full-cycle recruiting for multiple teams and levels, covering intake, sourcing, interviews, offer discussions, and closing candidates across leadership, technical, and go-to-market roles.
• Work closely with executives and hiring managers to advise on role scope, leveling, interview structure, and calibration of hiring standards.
• Develop and maintain diverse candidate pipelines through proactive sourcing, market research, and targeted outreach rather than depending only on inbound applicants.
• Coordinate with contract recruiters and other support partners to keep hiring work moving smoothly and to protect the candidate experience.
• Use AI-enabled tools and recruiting platforms to strengthen sourcing, outreach, screening, and pipeline analysis, while improving efficiency and quality.
• Handle compensation conversations with support from total rewards, including market benchmarking, pay equity considerations, and negotiation of offers.
• Oversee external agencies when needed, ensuring expectations are clear and performance is aligned with hiring goals.
• Measure and report on recruiting performance indicators such as time to fill, pipeline strength, source quality, and offer acceptance rates.
• Improve recruiting operations, systems, and workflows, including ATS usage, interviewer enablement, and hiring process design.

Requirements

• At least 8 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, including work on senior, technical, and commercial roles in fast-moving organizations.
• Background recruiting in startup, SaaS, and/or healthcare or health tech settings.
• Ability to operate broadly across different role families and shifting hiring priorities.
• Confidence advising executives and senior stakeholders with strong judgment and business understanding.
• Experience independently running recruiting processes in lean, high-autonomy environments.
• Strong sourcing capability with a history of building proactive, diverse pipelines.
• Good grasp of compensation benchmarking, pay equity principles, and offer negotiation.
• Practical experience using AI tools within recruiting workflows with measurable impact on speed or quality.
• Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to juggle multiple priorities.
• Commitment to inclusive hiring and structured recruiting practices that support team diversity.

Benefits

• Competitive pay that reflects senior recruiting responsibility and impact.
• Fully remote work within the United States; candidates must be eligible to work from the continental U.S.
• High autonomy with the chance to shape hiring strategy at the company level.
• Direct exposure to executive leadership and cross-functional decision-making.
• Access to modern recruiting technology and flexibility to bring AI into daily work.
• A meaningful role influencing team growth and organizational capability at scale.
• A collaborative, fast-moving environment with a strong ownership mindset.
• Opportunity to build and refine scalable recruiting systems and processes.
