Finch Legal Head of Talent & People responsible for scaling Finch Legal's hiring engine and building the people foundation. Owns end-to-end talent acquisition and leads recruitment across R&D and GTM teams.
Responsibilities
We're reaching an inflection point in scaling the platform, and our talent acquisition funnel sets how fast we grow.
We're looking for our first Head of Talent & People to scale our hiring engine, and build the people foundation that the company will run on.
Own talent acquisition end-to-end, including the hiring plan for an upcoming wave of growth.
Recruit hands-on as a player-coach, running searches yourself across R&D and GTM, adding to existing foundation today.
Help bring our existing hiring system to the next level, leveraging AI tooling that lets a small team do the work of a much larger one.
Run the function both on talent intuition and data: track funnel health, time to fill, pass-through rates and offer acceptance, and act on what they show.
Partner with and mentor hiring leaders across the company so every team runs a consistent, high-bar process.
Shape the headcount plan and compensation bands alongside Finance.
Own people and culture across the employee lifecycle so Finch stays a place where people do the best work of their careers.
