Role:
We are seeking a strategic, hands-on Sr. Manager, Technical Recruiting to build and lead the technical recruiting function at Function Health. Operating as a player-coach, you will personally lead critical technical searches while leading and building a high-performing technical recruiting team as Function continues to scale. Reporting to the VP of Talent Acquisition, you will own full-lifecycle recruiting for engineering, data science, machine learning, infrastructure, and other technical disciplines. You will partner closely with engineering and product leadership to develop sourcing strategies, build scalable hiring processes, and ensure we attract world-class technical talent that matches the ambition of our mission.
The ideal candidate brings deep experience recruiting in high-growth technology environments and is comfortable operating as both a strategic leader and an individual contributor. You thrive in ambiguity, move with urgency, and are energized by building systems and processes from the ground up. As an early leader on the Talent team, your impact will be felt across the organization as we scale from hundreds of employees to thousands.

This role is best suited for those energized by fast-paced environments, excited to build in a high-growth setting, and deeply motivated by our mission at Function. If you are looking for meaningful challenges, dynamic work, and the opportunity to make a real impact, we would love to meet you.
Key Responsibilities:
- Own and execute full-lifecycle technical recruiting across engineering, data science, ML/AI, infrastructure, and security disciplines, from intake through offer close.
- Hire, coach, mentor, and develop technical recruiters, establishing a high-performance recruiting organization with consistent hiring practices, strong candidate experience, and a culture of continuous improvement.
- Leverage AI-powered tools and automation to improve recruiting efficiency, reducing manual work and enabling the team to operate at greater scale while continuously improving and evaluating AI-enabled recruiting tools and workflows that improve sourcing effectiveness, candidate engagement, recruiter productivity, and data-driven decision-making.
- Partner with engineering and product leadership (including SVP of Engineering) to deeply understand team structures, roadmaps, and hiring priorities, translating business needs into targeted talent strategies.
- Build and optimize scalable recruiting processes, tooling, and workflows that support rapid, high-quality hiring as Function scales.
- Develop and execute proactive sourcing strategies to build robust pipelines of passive technical talent, leveraging market mapping, competitive intelligence, and creative outreach.
- Serve as a trusted advisor to hiring managers on market trends, compensation benchmarking, interview best practices, and candidate experience.
- Define and track recruiting metrics (time-to-fill, pipeline conversion, source effectiveness, quality of hire) and use data to continuously improve outcomes.
- Champion a world-class candidate experience at every touchpoint, ensuring Function's employer brand is represented with clarity and care.
- Contribute to broader Talent Acquisition and People team initiatives, including employer branding, and onboarding partnerships.
