Talent Acquisition and People & Culture Specialist

Talent Acquisition and People & Culture Specialist

But since that’s a mouthful, we usually just call the role "TA/P&C Specialist"

Are You Ready to Build the Next Big Thing?

Location: New York, NY (US) | Type: Full-Time, Founding Role

Are you tired of the corporate grind and ready to trade the same old same old for spectacular? Do you thrive on connecting people and fueling growth through pure relationship energy? We’re an early-stage, high-risk, high-reward startup in the data consulting space, and we're looking for our first Talent Acquisition leader in the US—but this role is so much more than recruiting.

We need someone who is ready to step up and be a key driver of our culture and explosive growth. If you have a black book full of top-tier technical talent (Data, DevOps, Cloud, Software Engineering, Financial Services Tech) and you genuinely love people—from candidate sourcing to throwing a great team event—we want to talk.

Why Join Us?

This isn't a typical recruiting job. This is a vanguard role where your influence will shape our trajectory, culture, and ultimate success. You'll be building our human capital from the ground up, and your compensation will reflect the massive value you bring to an early-stage venture. If you succeed, you will have the opportunity to scale a dedicated team around you. If you crave autonomy, ownership, and the chance to prove you can do what the big firms can’t, this is your platform.

What You'll Be Doing (The Fun Stuff)

Talent Acquisition & Sourcing (The Core):

• Relationship-Driven Sourcing: Move beyond job boards. Leverage your existing, deep network within the US technical landscape (specifically data and financial services technology/insurance tech) to attract and engage top-tier consultants.
• Pipeline Architect: Design and execute a dynamic, fun, and differentiated recruiting process that reflects our energetic culture and high standards.
• Candidate Experience Champion: Be the first and most engaging face of our company. Ensure every candidate interaction is memorable, positive, and authentic.

Relationship Management & Culture (The Really Fun Stuff):

• Internal Connector: Serve as a hub for employee engagement. Organize social events, team get-togethers, and activities (virtual and in-person) that fuel camaraderie and keep our distributed team connected.
• External Ambassador: Extend your relationship building to our ecosystem. Partner with channel sales teams, prospective clients, and key industry figures to build brand awareness and referral networks.
• The Vibe Keeper: We're looking for someone vibrant and energetic who naturally feeds off interaction. If you enjoy hosting, hanging out, and making connections just because, you're the person we need to infuse our culture with fun and cohesion.

What You’ll Bring

• Proven experience (4 years) in technical recruiting/talent acquisition, with a strong background in sourcing talent in Information Technology (Data Science, Cloud, DevOps, Software Engineering) and/or Financial Services Tech (Insurance, Banking, or relevant technical roles).
• A verifiable, robust professional network of technical talent ready to be engaged.
• A personality that is fun, energetic, outgoing, and enjoys social interaction as a core part of the job. You see a coffee chat, a happy hour, or an industry event as a prime opportunity, not a chore.
• A founder's mindset: highly autonomous, comfortable with ambiguity, resourceful, and deeply driven by the potential for massive impact and reward in a startup environment.
• Exceptional communication and storytelling skills—you can articulate our unique vision and make it irresistible to established talent.
