Talent Partner

About the role

We’re hiring our first Talent Partner to help us build an exceptional team and the foundations of our People function as Pogo scales. You’ll own recruiting across the company, running searches end-to-end across engineering, design, GTM, and other business functions. As hiring needs ebb and flow, you’ll also take ownership of the People programs and systems that support the broader team. This is a great fit for someone who loves recruiting but also wants to broaden into People Ops and learn how to build a People function at a startup.

Responsibilities

• Own full-cycle recruiting across all functions.
• Partner with hiring managers to define roles, ideal candidate profiles, and interview processes.
• Build sourcing strategies with our in-house sourcer and develop pipelines for recurring roles.
• Conduct initial interviews, manage the candidate experience, and drive searches from first conversation through offer and close.
• Build and improve the recruiting systems, workflows, and metrics we need as the company grows.
• Own key People programs, including onboarding, performance reviews, employee experience, offsites, and internal HR policies.
• Over time, help build programs like co-ops/internships, new grad recruiting, employee referrals, and other long-term talent pipelines.

Requirements

3–5 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally at a fast‑growing startup or similarly high‑ownership environment; experience recruiting across multiple functions and comfort moving between engineering, design, GTM, and other business roles.

Qualifications

Strong judgment about people and ability to quickly learn what “great” looks like in unfamiliar functions; strong communicator who can represent Pogo well to candidates and partner effectively with hiring managers; highly organized and comfortable building systems where none exist.

Skills

Experience building recruiting or People systems and processes from scratch (bonus); interest in building systems with AI; ability to develop sourcing strategies and improve recruiting metrics.

Benefits

• Unlimited PTO
• Minimum 20‑day vacation policy

Pay

Compensation range: $125K – $175K

Schedule

Flexible schedule with expectation of more than 9‑to‑5 hours; trusted to create a schedule that maximizes productivity while accommodating outside priorities.
