Talent Partner
Greenlite Inc. 4.0
Talent acquisition manager job in San Francisco, CA
Talent PartnerAbout the role
As a Talent Partner at Greenlite, you'll own the full recruiting lifecycle-from sourcing exceptional engineers and operators to closing offers that help us scale from 33 to 90+ employees by 2026. You'll work directly with hiring managers across engineering, product, and go-to-market functions to understand their needs and build teams capable of fighting financial crime at massive scale. Your recruiting work is informed by deep knowledge of the talent market and ships directly into our ability to attract world- class people, so you need to be resourceful and creative in sourcing, skilled at evaluating talent and culture fit, work effectively with hiring managers and executives, understand what it takes to compete for top-tier talent, and adapt quickly as we scale.
This is a core People Operations role on our Talent team. Exceptional Talent Partners combine genuine curiosity about candidates and hiring managers with the operational rigor to manage complex workflows and timelines. You might be a generalist who orchestrates the entire recruiting process seamlessly, or you might have deep expertise in sourcing or coordination but bring enthusiasm to expanding into other areas. Either way, you're not just filling headcount-you're building the foundation of our team by attracting people who can operate at the level of institutions serving over a billion people, based on what our hiring managers actually need.
We work in-person Monday through Friday in our SF office.
What you'll do
Week 1:
Attend Engineering and Go-to-Market standups daily to understand team structure, current priorities, and the problems we're solving-absorbing how teams communicate and the real constraints they're navigating.
Immerse yourself in Greenlite's tone and culture by shadowing interviews, observing how we evaluate candidates, and understanding what values and skills we're actually looking for beneath the job descriptions.
Shadow 3-5 interviews across different functions to see how hiring managers ask questions, what signals they're looking for, and how we make decisions.
Document existing recruiting processes, interview guides, scorecards, and candidate communication templates-identifying gaps, inconsistencies, and opportunities to standardize.
Month 1:
Partner with hiring managers to deeply understand their open roles, team dynamics, and what success looks like-conducting intake calls, clarifying requirements, and building recruiting plans for 3-5 open positions.
Source and screen candidates across multiple channels (LinkedIn, referrals, recruiter networks, communities), evaluating technical and cultural fit to build a strong pipeline.
Coordinate interviews, gather feedback from hiring teams, and manage candidate communication to keep momentum and create a positive experience.
Month 2:
Take ownership of candidate experience across the full funnel-identifying bottlenecks in our process, suggesting improvements to interview structure or feedback collection, and measuring hiring quality and speed.
Expand your sourcing expertise by building targeted outreach strategies for harder-to-find roles (specialized engineering talent, operational leaders) and establishing relationships with recruiting partners or communities where top talent lives.
Build recruiting infrastructure-standardizing scorecards, creating interview guides, and developing a knowledge base so future Talent Partners can scale without you managing every detail.
Ongoing:
Maintain relationships with strong candidates who aren't quite ready now but could be future hires, keeping Greenlite top-of-mind in an increasingly competitive talent market.
Partner with leadership on compensation, leveling, and offer strategy to ensure we're competitive while staying thoughtful about equity and culture.
Contribute to Greenlite's employer brand through authentic conversations with candidates, participation in relevant communities, and honest storytelling about what it's like to build here.
Compensation & Benefits
$120k - $180k + equity
Comprehensive healthcare, 401k matching, commuter benefits
15 days PTO + holidays, unlimited sick days
Flexible leave options
Working late? We've got you covered with DoorDash and an Uber home
Join us in building AI that protects the global financial system from financial crimes that fund terrorism, human trafficking, and other serious threats.

Column 4.5
Talent acquisition manager job in San Francisco, CA
For companies building financial technology and transforming the financial services space, the biggest bottleneck to their growth and innovation is often the underlying banks and infrastructure stack they rely on. We have spent our careers founding and scaling companies like Plaid, Square, Meta, Blend, and Affirm, and have seen this problem firsthand - builders and developers needing to partner with traditional banks, and creating API and abstraction layers over the patchwork that is the bank, its core, and many other vendors. All of this results in a complex (and often expensive) banking supply chain involving a user, fintech, BaaS middleware provider, bank, core and the Federal Reserve.
At Column, we set out to simplify and fix this. We are a bank and a software company built from the ground up, offering builders and developers technology-forward banking solutions that cut out the hundreds of vendors, middleware providers, and abstraction layers. This means a safer, more transparent, and less costly banking supply chain. Come build with us!
The opportunity:
As a Talent Partner at Column, you will play a pivotal role in fueling the company's growth by identifying, attracting, and hiring top-tier talent. In this position, you'll own the entire hiring process, partnering closely with Column's leadership team and key stakeholders to understand their business needs, while designing and executing a strategic approach to recruiting. You'll lead full-cycle recruiting for a diverse range of roles, including highly specialized and leadership positions, ensuring a seamless and exceptional candidate experience along the way.
This is an exciting opportunity for a seasoned recruiter who is passionate about building high-performance teams and enjoys the challenge of niche and bespoke searches. You will also have the opportunity to help shape and evolve our recruiting processes as we scale.
This role reports directly to the Head of People, and is an in-person position where you'll be expected to work out of our Presidio-based office in San Francisco 3+ days a week.
What you'll do:
Lead full-cycle recruiting for a wide range of roles, including specialized and senior positions, from sourcing to offer.
Partner with hiring managers and leadership to deeply understand business needs and help craft compelling job descriptions and hiring strategies.
Develop and execute proactive sourcing strategies to attract top-tier passive and active talent, building strong pipelines for current and future needs.
Provide strategic guidance and insights on market trends, hiring best practices, and interview processes to ensure we are continually improving.
Deliver an exceptional candidate experience, representing Column as a trusted brand ambassador.
Track and analyze recruiting metrics to assess effectiveness and recommend solutions for improving our recruiting operations.
Mentor and provide guidance to junior members of the recruiting team.
What you'll need to be successful:
6-7 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, including in-house recruitment experience at start-ups.
Expertise in recruiting for a variety of roles, including niche, technical, and leadership positions.
Proficiency in using LinkedIn Recruiter, applicant tracking systems, and innovative sourcing tools.
Proven ability to build strong relationships with senior leadership and hiring managers as a trusted partner.
Strategic mindset with a passion for building and refining recruiting processes in a fast-paced, scaling environment.
Excellent communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
Experience in financial technology or banking is a plus, but a strong passion for these industries is essential.
What you'll get from us:
Comprehensive health, dental, and vision plans, including options that are 100% covered by Column for you and 100% covered for your dependents!
Comprehensive family planning and fertility benefits via partnership with Carrot, including reimbursement of up to $20,000 in qualified expenses
FSA and HSA account options to enable use of pre-tax money for medical and dependent care expenses
401k plan, including self-directed brokerage options
Flexible time-off policy - take the time off that you want and need to relax and recharge
100% paid parental leave, including 16 weeks for birth mothers, 12 weeks for primary caregivers, and 8 weeks for secondary caregivers
️Catered lunches and dinners for SF employees
Commuter benefits
Regular team building events, including annual offsite
Pay transparency:
Compensation packages at Column include base salary, equity, and benefits. New hire offers are made based on a candidate's experience, expertise, geographic location, and internal pay equity relative to peers.
The annual US base salary range for this role is $165,000 - $200,000 + equity.
We look forward to hearing from you
Column is committed to working with the best and brightest people from the broadest talent pool possible. We value bringing together a team with different perspectives, educational backgrounds, and life experiences, and believe a diversity of ideas is what allows us to develop the best solutions.

You will design and lead the recruiting operating model, including workforce planning, employer branding, sourcing strategy, interview architecture, and hiring manager enablement. This role blends strategic leadership with hands‑on execution-you'll coach executives, build recruiting infrastructure from the ground up, and step in directly where needed to unblock hiring. As a senior member of the People leadership team, you will shape how we attract talent, assess potential, and build diverse, high‑performing teams during a period of rapid growth.
In this role you will…

Embed equitable practices into sourcing, interviewing, and selection processes.
Partner closely with People Business Partners, Finance, and executive leadership to align hiring plans with org design and budget realities.
Build, mentor, and retain a high‑performing recruiting team across sourcers, recruiters, and recruiting operations.
Implement lightweight, scalable recruiting infrastructure and operating rhythms that enable speed without sacrificing quality.
Continuously assess and evolve recruiting strategy as the company scales, ensuring the function grows ahead of demand rather than in reaction to it.
Required skills and experience
12+ years of progressive recruiting experience, including 5+ years leading recruiting teams in a high‑growth tech company.
Demonstrated success building and scaling recruiting organizations through periods of rapid growth and change.
Deep expertise across R&D, GTM, and G&A hiring, with strong judgment around prioritization and sequencing.
Proven ability to influence and advise senior executives on talent strategy, hiring trade‑offs, and market realities.
Strong understanding of modern sourcing strategies, interview design, and candidate assessment methodologies.
Experience building recruiting processes and infrastructure from the ground up, not just operating mature systems.
Highly analytical, with the ability to translate recruiting data into insights, forecasts, and strategic recommendations.
Track record of building inclusive hiring practices and improving diversity outcomes in partnership with the business.
Exceptional communicator with the ability to align stakeholders, push back when needed, and drive accountability.
Strong people leadership skills, with experience developing recruiters into strategic talent advisors.
Tools + Tech Stack for this role
ATS / Recruiting Systems: Ashby

You avoid challenging senior leaders or influencing difficult hiring decisions.

Talent acquisition manager job in San Francisco, CA
Flux is pioneering a new class of AI accelerators called Optical Tensor Processing Units (OTPUs). Our work environment rewards innovation, speed, and bold thinking. We are headquartered in London with offices in Austin and San Francisco.
The Role
We're looking for a TalentAcquisition Partner to drive hiring during one of Flux's most critical periods of growth. We're building a software team in San Francisco from the ground up and hiring is our #1 priority.
You'll work directly with leadership, hiring managers, and the People and Operations teams to drive top‑of‑funnel, candidate experience, and the hiring process end to end. You'll manage both delivery and systems, closing hard‑to‑fill roles, while helping to build the infrastructure that helps us hire smarter and faster. You'll work alongside a Talent Coordinator to lay foundations to scale in San Francisco.
The ideal candidate will have 0‑1 experience in the accelerator space or deep tech with a creative mindset to navigate early stage challenges, and a track record of success hiring in a high performance environment. You'll know what it takes to close junior engineers and technical senior leaders alike, with the ability to drive results independently and communicate clearly with your global Talent team.
This role is based in our central San Francisco office and is 5 days a week in person.
Responsibilities
Manage full‑cycle recruiting across key roles (engineering, technical leadership, operations, commercial), from sourcing through to close.
Build and execute sourcing strategies to surface top‑tier, hard‑to‑reach candidates across the US.
Partner with hiring managers to craft compelling roles, sharpen their interviewing skills, and ensure fast, high‑quality processes.

Track record of hiring top technical talent, whether that's ML engineers, digital designers, systems architects, or otherwise.
Excellent sourcing instincts and a creative approach to candidate engagement.
Confident partnering with senior stakeholders; you're comfortable saying “no” and backing it up with data or insight.
Organised, responsive, and rigorous; you keep processes moving without dropping the ball.
Passionate about candidate experience and helping build a hiring culture that scales and drives forward the company values.
Nice to have
Experience in deep tech or hardware‑driven environments, and/or 0‑1 experience in the accelerator space - especially where talent is scarce and highly specialised.
This is a rare opportunity for someone with the right mix of ownership, urgency, and precision. But it's not for everyone. You will thrive here if you:
See the strategic advantage that working side‑by‑side in an office can bring. We're building fast, and proximity matters.
Are excited to set aside the playbook in favour of deeply customised, high‑signal hiring practices. You want to be a part of building what most people haven't.
Use ChatGPT multiple times a day. We're scaling responsibly, and that means using AI as a starting point, a coach, and a constant amplifier of our work.
Champion transparency, rigour, and pace. You believe in building a hiring culture that's deeply collaborative and performance‑driven.

Competitive salary, depending on experience
Generous stock options in a rapidly growing AI company
