Job description

Phoebe is building a network of AI agents to coordinate the in-home care market, one of the biggest labor forces in the country.

We have found product-market fit and we are scaling fast. We are hiring a founding talent partner to help us build out our team across all functions.

You’ll take full ownership of recruiting across engineering, GTM, and leadership, treating every open role as a business problem to solve with a direct contribution to what Phoebe becomes.

What Success Looks Like

• Within 30 days, own a live search end-to-end, starting with engineering, the spine of our hiring. Source, screen, and drive it to close.

• Within 90 days, build the machine: ATS, scorecards, screening filters, pipeline reporting, and a weekly operating cadence. Everything the team needs to run hiring on a system instead of in the founder's head.

• Over the next 6 months, land the hires that matter: the leadership roles and senior engineers. Engage external firms you drive rather than just hire. As the repeatable parts get systematized, your time moves up to the hardest searches.

What We’re Looking For

• 4+ years of experience at a mix of agency and fast-growing, product-driven companies, tilt toward either technical, or GTM is fine

• Hunters. You find the person who isn't looking and you don't stop until they say yes. Posting a req and praying isn't your style, and you'd never outsource the chase.

• Operational excellence. You get results out of people who don't report to you. You drive external firms hard, hold them accountable, and make them deliver on your timeline.

• High agency, low ego. You own the outcome end to end, and no part of the job is beneath you. When unglamorous coordination moves a hire, you just do it.
