Talent Acquisition Lead

Unwrap
Santa Barbara, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 12/31/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 1/29/2026
Are you one of the most ambitious people you know? Do you thrive in fast-paced environments, and love scouting amazing talent? If so, you'll be right at home at Unwrap.

After years of founder-led recruiting and external recruiting firms, we're hiring our first in-house Talent Acquisition Lead to keep up with our increasing hiring needs. This person will own our recruiting pipeline, and be responsible for brining world-class talent to our team. This role covers both technical and non-technical roles.

As our first hire in this area, you'll have tremendous impact over our entire talent acquisition strategy. The goal isn't simply to recruit, it's to build a talent acquisition machine that allows us to reliably fill open reqs with amazing people.

Who We Are

We’re currently a team of 30, based in Santa Barbara, and growing extremely quickly. We are venture-backed, and just raised our $12M Series A from world-leading VCs. Our customers include leading companies across many industries, like Stripe, Perplexity, DoorDash, Microsoft, Lyft, lululemon, WHOOP, Oura, Clay, and many more.

Unwrap.ai is on a mission to fill the world with products people love. We do this by helping companies understand their customers like never before. Specifically, we ingest feedback from thousands of sources (support channels, surveys, social), use state-of-the-art NLP technology to extract actionable insights, and empower teams to take action on these insights to ship better products.

Our founders, two ex-Amazon Alexa Product Managers, were tired of manually sifting through customer reviews, support tickets, and bugs while working on Alexa. They understood the importance of listening to customers and prioritizing their requests effectively, but simply had too much feedback to parse through. So, Unwrap.ai was born to solve this problem.

Our small team is extremely motivated, hard-working, and simply gets stuff done. If this sounds exciting, we can't wait to read your application.

Role Qualifications

  • You've recruited for a B2B SaaS company before.

  • You're passionate about customer experience, and helping brands better listen to their customers.
  • You are an extremely hard worker.
  • Teammates love working with you.
