Talent Acquisition Manager

Talent Manager

Verse Medical is building the modern software infrastructure to make hospital-quality care accessible everywhere. We're a well-funded Series C company on a mission to heal a fragmented system. Our platform connects the dots between providers, payors, and patients, ensuring people get the high-quality care they need, reliably and right where they live. We're growing fast and looking for people who are driven by this mission to join us!

As Talent Manager, you'll build and lead the team that closes our roles. You'll own the day to day execution of our recruiting engine, hire and develop the recruiters and sourcers who report to you, and partner directly with leadership so we have the right people in place when we need them.

This is a zero-to-one opportunity. You're building the team and the playbook, not inheriting either one. This role is for someone who thrives on ambiguity, wants the responsibility of developing other recruiters, and is ready to leave a mark on how Verse Medical hires for years to come.

Within your first year, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Directly manage, coach, and grow a team of recruiters and sourcers. Set clear goals, give real-time feedback, and build a culture of accountability and high performance.
• Personally lead full-cycle recruitment for your team's most senior, specialized, or sensitive roles, acting as closer when it counts.
• Partner with department leaders and the executive team on org design, headcount planning, and market-informed hiring strategy.
• Own and continuously improve our hiring lifecycle: structured interview design, employer branding, and how we use Ashby, BrightHire, and Juicebox. The goal is a function that scales without breaking.
• Own pipeline forecasting and compensation benchmarking, and translate recruiting metrics into clear, actionable updates for leadership.
• Champion obsessive candidate care across the org, ensuring every interaction reflects our mission and values.

We believe diverse experiences and backgrounds lead to better solutions. If you believe you can achieve the outcomes above, we encourage you to apply even if your background doesn't check every box.

• 6+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, or equivalent experience, including direct experience managing, mentoring, or leading other recruiters
• A track record of building and scaling a recruiting function, ideally in a fast-paced, high-growth startup; healthcare or health-tech experience is a strong plus
• Demonstrated success hiring and developing high-performing recruiting talent
• Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and negotiation skills
• Comfort operating with real ambiguity, and building process rather than just following it
• A passion for our mission and for making an impact in healthcare

You'll be joining the Talent team, a group of innovators who value pragmatism, simplicity, and speed of execution.

• ATS: Ashby
• Outreach: LinkedIn, Gem, Juicebox
• Screening & Interviews: BrightHire, CoderPad

The Rewards & Reality: Compensation, Benefits & Logistics

• Compensation: $160k - $200k base + equity.
• Health & Wellness: 100% of your health insurance premium covered, plus dental and vision for you and your dependents
• Plan for the Future: 401(k) plan (no company match at this time)
• Career Growth: Real opportunities for advancement at a company at a major inflection point

Work Environment & Location: Based in our New York City office in Chelsea, hybrid with 4 days/week in-office.
