Job description

Founding Recruiter

Citizen Health was founded on the belief that having the right advocate is the single most important factor in achieving better care and outcomes. By uniquely combining data, AI, and community, Citizen is building a personalized AI advocate powered by patients' complete medical histories and data from thousands of other patients. Starting in rare and complex conditions, patients share their data in exchange for value, enabling biopharma and researchers with seamless access to patients and regulatory-grade data, shaving years off drug development for much-needed treatments.

Citizen is founded by experienced entrepreneurs with multiple successes under their belts and is funded by top-tier investors including 8VC, Transformation Capital, and Headline Ventures, among others. We are a mission-driven team excited to be building the future of consumer healthcare.

We're hiring our first Founding Recruiter to build the foundation of Citizen's talent engine and help shape an exceptional employee experience. As the company's first dedicated recruiting hire, you'll own recruiting strategy and execution end-to-end partnering with leadership to attract and hire exceptional talent across Engineering, Product, Growth Marketing, and other functions.

This is more than a typical recruiting role : you'll design and scale the systems, processes, and employer brand that define how we hire, while laying the groundwork for future People / HR capabilities. As we grow, you'll also have the opportunity to stretch into adjacent areas such as performance management, employee benefits, and workplace culture helping make Citizen a place where top talent thrives. You'll report directly to the COO and work closely with the founding team to shape the company's trajectory from the ground up.

Responsibilities :

  • Own full-cycle recruiting, from sourcing and outreach to interviews, offers, and onboarding
  • Develop and implement creative sourcing strategies to attract top talent, with an initial focus on engineering, product, and growth marketing roles
  • Build and manage robust recruiting pipelines and utilize modern recruiting tools to source, engage, and manage candidates efficiently
  • Create and refine a structured interview process that identifies exceptional candidates while enabling fair, consistent evaluation
  • Leverage data-driven insights to optimize recruiting efforts, tracking key metrics such as time-to-fill, offer acceptance rate, funnel conversion, and sourcing effectiveness, and provide regular updates on funnel health and time-to-hire
  • Deliver a seamless candidate experience while coaching hiring managers on interviewing, calibration, and closing
  • Develop and execute employer branding and recruitment marketing initiatives to showcase Citizen's mission and culture
  • Bring early-stage startup or high-growth experience to anticipate scaling needs and adapt strategies as the company grows
  • Stay informed on the AI / ML talent landscape to identify emerging talent pools and competitive trends
  • Collaborate on workplace experience strategy as we move into our own office and build an intentional hybrid culture

Who You Are :

You thrive in fast-paced, early-stage environments and are excited to build a recruiting function from the ground up. With a track record of hiring across technical and go-to-market roles, you pair strategic thinking with hands-on execution from sourcing and interviewing to data-driven process design. You care deeply about people and culture, maintain a high bar for quality, and move quickly without sacrificing candidate experience. Collaborative and resourceful, you partner closely with founders while confidently driving initiatives independently. Above all, you're motivated by the opportunity to help shape a team and mission that will transform consumer healthcare.

Qualifications :

  • 7+ years of recruiting experience, with a track record of success in small, fast-growing companies
  • Deep experience recruiting for technical, product, marketing, and data roles
  • A builder you love to create systems, optimize processes, and scale intentionally
  • Strong strategic and operational mindset you can see the big picture while managing the details
  • Passionate about people and creating high-quality experiences for candidates and teammates alike
  • Excellent communicator, collaborator, and relationship builder
  • Interested in (or familiar with) the consumer healthcare space
  • Why Join Us?

    At Citizen Health, you will be part of an ambitious mission to build innovative AI-driven solutions that redefine the consumer healthcare experience and improve outcomes for millions. We value curiosity, creativity, and collaboration, and we believe in empowering every team member to have an impact. Here, you'll find :

  • The chance to work on pioneering AI technologies and solve complex problems that push the boundaries of what's possible in healthcare
  • The freedom to lead your projects and shape the company's direction in a mission-driven environment where your work makes a real impact
  • A fast-paced, high-growth setting that brings expanding opportunities and clear paths for career progression
  • A supportive culture of learning, experimentation, and innovation, where new ideas are encouraged and explored
  • A commitment to empathy and diversity, recognizing that our greatest strengths come from our varied perspectives and experiences
  • Regular team activities and knowledge sharing, all within a culture that prioritizes well-being and connection
  • Additional Perks :

  • Competitive salary + equity package
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Unlimited paid time off including a generous parental leave
  • Flexible hybrid work environment
  • Don't meet every qualification? No worries! We believe that passion, curiosity, and the right mindset are just as important as a checklist of skills. If you're excited about what we're building, we encourage you to apply.

    Our Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion :

    Citizen Health is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences. Everyone deserves an equal chance to contribute and grow here regardless of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, age, disability, or veteran status.
