Senior Talent Lead

At MGT, we are building an AI-first company. That commitment shapes not only our product, but how we hire, develop, and scale our team. As we grow, we want to build intentionally and design to scale impact. That means structured processes, data-informed decision making, and AI-enabled systems embedded across the talent lifecycle. 

In close partnership with the Head of People, you will translate vision into disciplined execution. Your primary focus is Talent Acquisition. You will define how we hire for the next decade by building a high-performing hiring engine and embedding AI fluency into role design and assessment. Over time, you will strengthen the broader talent systems that shape how people join, grow, and contribute across the organization. This is a high-impact role for a builder who wants to make talent a durable competitive advantage.

This role is a hybrid position and requires 3 days per week in our SF Office.

• Embed responsible AI into sourcing, screening, coordination, and evaluation workflows.
• Improve pipeline quality, decision signal, and time-to-hire simultaneously.
• Design hiring processes that expand access, improve representation, and promote equitable outcomes.

You are accountable not just for filling roles, but for strengthening how hiring works.
