Talent Acquisition Lead

About the company

Rebuild is an operating system for restoration contractors who specialize in mitigating damage to homes and rebuilding them after disasters—from catastrophic events to smaller-scale damage like floods, fires, and mold. Our initial product uses AI to enable contractors to generate insurance-compliant estimates in minutes, a process that previously took weeks and resulted in low margins. With climate change causing over $210 billion in property damages, Rebuild is tackling the massive opportunity to help restorers work more efficiently and accurately. We raised our Series A in Q3 2026 from Asymmetric Capital Partners, with follow-ons from Gutter Capital and 25Madison.

About the role

Rebuild is hiring a Talent Lead to build the company’s hiring function from the ground up. You’ll own full-lifecycle recruiting across every function, starting with two of our highest-priority pipelines: software engineering and account executives. As we grow, your scope will expand into additional functions. You’ll report directly to leadership and have real influence over who joins Rebuild and how we present ourselves to candidates in a competitive market.

• Own full-lifecycle recruiting: sourcing, screening, interview process design, offer negotiation, and closing across technical (software engineering) and go-to-market (account executive) roles, with more functions to follow
• Shape our Employer Value Proposition: define and articulate why top talent should join Rebuild, translating our mission and early traction into a compelling story for candidates
• Build hiring infrastructure from scratch: including interview processes, scorecards, and workflows that scale with the company as it grows post-Series A
• Partner closely with hiring managers and founders to deeply understand role requirements, calibrate on what "great" looks like, and move quickly without sacrificing quality
• Manage a multi-function pipeline simultaneously, balancing technical and GTM searches with different candidate pools, evaluation criteria, and sales cycles
• Champion candidate experience as an extension of the Rebuild brand, especially given you're often a candidate's first touchpoint with the company
• Scale the function when we hit the next inflection point of growth and be prepared to add resources to the Talent function

Requirements

• Experience across the full recruiting lifecycle, from sourcing through close
• Demonstrated ability to recruit for both technical and go-to-market roles—you don’t need deep engineering expertise, but you’re comfortable learning enough to evaluate and sell technical talent
• Ideally, experience in a venture-backed startup and as an external search partner either in an agency or retained firm
• A track record of building or significantly shaping hiring processes, ideally at an early-stage or high-growth company
• Strong instincts for employer branding and EVP development—you know how to tell a company’s story in a way that resonates with candidates
• Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward action—this is a build-it-yourself role at a young company
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; you’ll work closely with founders and hiring managers, not just execute against a spec

Benefits

• Medical, Vision, and Dental Insurance
• Flexible Vacation
• Flexibility to choose your own tools and onboard cutting-edge tools
• Direct collaboration with founders Alex Toporek and John Reim
• Thoughtful office culture at 221 Canal, including regular programming, fun events, and continuous learning fireside chats
