Head of Talent Acquisition

Los Angeles, CA (onsite, including weekends) · $200,000–$275,000 + equity

A very well-funded energy company is moving from R&D into construction and manufacturing at scale. It needs a recruiting leader to build the team that hires for every phase. The bar is high and so are the resources: leaders and investors who will join sell calls, and a team of experienced builders who have done hard things before.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thinks like a talent scout, not a figurehead VP.

Lead a team of recruiters, a recruiting lead and a coordinator

Set the bar for who the company hires, and coach recruiters to find and win exceptional people

Run or close the most critical searches yourself, especially senior engineering hires

Bring leadership and investors into the close at the right moments

Plan hiring across R&D, construction and manufacturing as the company scales

Keep recruiting operations healthy, with support from a people systems partner

What you bring

Recruiting leadership at a high-growth, venture-backed company

Real technical recruiting depth: you can talk through engineering problems and get great engineers excited

Sharp, emotionally intelligent judgment about people

Working knowledge of recruiting operations

Wants to be in the office with the team, weekends included

Nice to have: hiring across R&D, manufacturing or construction workforces; hard-tech, energy or aerospace background
