Job description

About Mutinex

At Mutinex, we’re not chasing unicorn status—we’re building a sustainable, long-lasting business (think Bowhead Whale). We’re an early-stage B2B SaaS company with a proven platform, trusted by big-name clients, and already generating millions in revenue. Our mission is bold: to build a universal business growth decision engine. Our platform empowers marketing, media, agency, analytics, and finance teams to organise, analyse, and action data at scale-unlocking and optimising the true drivers of sustainable growth. We’re a hybrid team spread across Sydney, Melbourne, and New York. We value open communication, diverse perspectives, and a culture of continuous learning and feedback.

The Role

We’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Consultant to join us for six months and own hiring end-to-end. You’ll be filling live roles across the business, but just as importantly you’ll build the pipelines, market knowledge, and hiring infrastructure that let us keep moving after the contract ends. This will suit someone who’s happy to be deep in sourcing one hour and in a room with our exec team shaping hiring strategy the next. Whether you come from an in-house team, an agency, or a more unconventional background, what matters to us is your curiosity, initiative, and ability to make things happen quickly.

• Contract: 6-month fixed-term contract engagement, full-time. We are in the office 3 days a week
• Location: New York City
• Reporting to: Head of Talent

What You’ll Be Doing

• Own requisitions end to end: intake, role scoping, sourcing, screening, interview coordination, offer negotiation, and close
• Manage a live req load of roles across GTM, Engineering, product and G&A.
• Keep hiring managers accountable to timelines, feedback loops, and a consistent process

Sourcing and Pipeline Building

• Do the majority of sourcing directly — outbound, referrals, communities, and networks
• Build and warm pipelines for roles we know are coming in the next 6-12 months, not just the ones open today
• Write outreach that actually gets replies, and represent our story credibly to senior candidates across our Sydney, Melbourne, and New York markets

Market mapping and talent intelligence

• Map target markets and competitor talent for our priority functions
• Bring back real data on availability, compensation benchmarks, seniority bands, and where our offer is and isn’t competitive
• Turn that into recommendations the exec team can act on - including when a role should be scoped differently, or not hired at all

Talent operations and exec partnership

• Work with the exec team on hiring priorities, sequencing, and headcount trade-offs
• Tighten the fundamentals: scorecards, structured interview frameworks, hiring manager training, ATS hygiene, and reporting on funnel metrics
• Improve candidate experience across the funnel
• Leave behind documented process, live pipelines, and clean data so hiring keeps running smoothly after handover

What We’re Looking For

About

• 5 + years in talent acquisition, including solid in-house experience — agency background is welcome, but you’ve recruited inside a business and understand the stakeholder side
• Strong, current sourcing skills — you’re comfortable building pipelines from scratch in a competitive market rather than relying on inbound applications
• Experience hiring across engineering, product, data, and commercial roles, including senior and leadership hires
• Credibility with executives: you can hold a view, push back on a badly scoped role, and be trusted with commercially sensitive conversations
• A track record of improving how a company hires, not just filling seats — frameworks, data, and manager capability
• Confidence with an ATS and reporting on hiring metrics
• The ability to be productive in your first week with minimal ramp-up
• Bonus points for experience in high-growth B2B SaaS, or prior interim work where you’ve had to hand over cleanly
• A growth mindset and openness to feedback
• Passion for solving complex problems and driving impact
• Comfort working in ambiguity and a fast-moving environment

We believe skills can be developed—so if you bring a unique perspective and are eager to learn, we’d love to hear from you.

Why Work With Us

• Real Business Impact: Who we hire over the next six months shapes our product, our customers’ success, and the company for years
• Genuine Ownership: You’ll be the talent function, not a coordinator inside a large team - you drive this end-to-end with support when you need it
• Exec Access: A direct line to the leadership team and real influence over how we hire and how we scale
• A Clear, Finite Brief: Roles filled, pipelines built, process left standing — impact you can point to at the end of six months
• An Interesting Stage: Early-stage B2B SaaS with real revenue and real customers, and a lot still to build

We’re Committed to Inclusion

Mutinex is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, experiences, identities, and abilities. If you need adjustments or accommodations during the application process, just let us know, we’re happy to support you.
