Job Overview

PhoenixAI is looking for a Recruiter to help us scale the team across the company. You'll recruit for a mix of roles spanning go-to-market (sales, marketing, customer success, and sales engineering), R&D, and G&A.

This is a hands-on, full-cycle role. You'll work directly with hiring managers and senior leadership from intake through offer negotiation, and you'll have real latitude to shape how we recruit as we scale.

Key Responsibilities

• Own full-cycle recruiting for roles across GTM, R&D, and G&A, from intake through offer and close.
• Partner with hiring managers and leadership across functions to define role requirements, hiring plans, and interview processes.
• Build and manage pipeline for competitive roles through sourcing, referrals, and outbound outreach.
• Recruit technical roles in R&D and the field (such as Solutions Architect), partnering with technical interviewers to set and hold a consistent bar.
• Act as a strategic advisor to hiring managers on market conditions, compensation benchmarking, and candidate experience.
• Manage candidate experience end-to-end, ensuring timely communication and a smooth interview process.
• Lead offer negotiation and close, working directly with candidates through to acceptance.
• Track and report on recruiting metrics (pipeline health, time-to-fill, conversion rates) to inform hiring strategy.
• Establish and refine scalable recruiting processes, tooling, and documentation as the team grows.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience at high-growth tech or B2B SaaS companies, with deep expertise in either GTM or technical hiring.
• Track record recruiting at a fast-paced startup environment, ideally at a Series B or similar growth stage.
• Strong sourcing skills and a track record of filling competitive roles without relying on inbound volume.
• Hands-on with Rippling (or a comparable ATS) and LinkedIn Recruiter; comfortable owning scheduling and coordination where needed.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management, with experience partnering directly with executives across functions.
• Comfort with ambiguity and building process from scratch.
• Familiarity with the data infrastructure, database space a plus.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.

Every PhoenixAI hire is held to the same operating bar: own the outcome, seek truth and build trust, move fast with judgment, work AI-first, and raise the bar without ego.

Compensation

The base salary range for this role is $120,000 to $150,000. The offer also includes equity and PhoenixAI's full benefits package. Where you land in the range depends on your experience, scope, and interview results.

PhoenixAI is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome candidates of all backgrounds and do not discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic.
