  • Use recruiting data and analytics to refine search strategies and improve hiring outcomes.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of recruiting experience, with a focus on AI, ML, engineering, or biomedical science roles.
  • Proven success recruiting AI scientists, engineers, and interdisciplinary researchers
  • Familiarity with the AI and biomedical research ecosystem, including major conferences, publishing venues, and academic-to-industry talent flows
  • Familiarity with talent pipelines from GitHub, open-source projects, and leading academic / industry labs.
  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills with technical talent and internal leaders.
  • Data-driven approach with experience using metrics to optimize performance.
  • Passion for generative AI, biomedical innovation, and shaping the future of human health.
  • Compensation
