About the role
- This is a high-ownership IC role reporting to the VP of People & Talent, with responsibility not just for executing searches, but for shaping hiring strategy, calibrating talent bar, and influencing how we make talent decisions across the company.
Responsibilities
- Own full-cycle recruiting across GTM (Sales, CS, Marketing) and technical roles as needed, from role definition through close
- Partner with hiring managers and leadership to define role scope, calibrate level, and align on success criteria tied to business outcomes
- Design and run structured, high-signal interview processes
- drive calibration across interviewers to ensure consistent and high-quality hiring decisions
- Build proactive, high-quality pipelines through sourcing, referrals, and network mapping, with a focus on reaching top-quartile talent
- Help shape Valence's employer brand and deliver a high-touch, high-integrity candidate experience that reflects Valence's standards, regardless of outcome
- Use funnel data (conversion rates, source quality, time-to-hire) to manage hiring performance and turn insight into action
- Partner with leaders to turn what recruiting learns [about the talent market, comp, and competitors] into insight that sharpens decisions across the company
- A clear, well-formed point of view on what great recruiting looks like - how to assess talent, design effective processes, and hold a high hiring bar
- Genuine AI fluency: a real grasp on how AI changes recruiting, and a bias toward building it into the process
Requirements
- 8+ years of full-cycle, in-house recruiting experience in high-growth B2B SaaS or AI environments, with exposure to both GTM and technical hiring
- Experience influencing senior stakeholders, including challenging assumptions and driving alignment
- Experience with Ashby (or a comparable ATS), with a commitment to maintaining clean systems and using them as a source of truth
Nice to have
- Hands-on with AI sourcing/screening/ops tooling in your day-to-day workflow
- Experience hiring the "consulting / professional-services → tech" profile, or recruiting in NYC's AI/tech market

- Exposure to employer-brand or talent-marketing work
- Experience partnering on compensation benchmarking and levelling
Compensation
