Founding Recruiter - Claims

About Vega The $250B insurance claims industry runs on fax machines, phone tag, and adjusters buried in paperwork. Cycle times stretch for months. Data is locked in legacy systems. And the workforce is aging out faster than it’s being replaced. Vega is the premier AI-native claims TPA built to reimagine that entire stack from the ground up. Our team is equal parts experienced insurance operators and modern technologists. We care deeply about delivering superior outcomes for our clients, and we want builders that get their hands dirty shipping solutions that move the needle. Our results: 10x YoY revenue growth, and on track for $XXM run‑rate in under 2 years. Backed by marquee VCs like General Catalyst, Lightspeed, and Valor. About the Role We are looking for a Founding Recruiter to build the team that builds Vega. This is a high‑leverage, zero‑to‑one role for a talent operator who can think strategically and execute relentlessly — often on the same day. As one of our founding in‑house recruiters, you won’t inherit a machine — you’ll design one. You’ll own the full hiring lifecycle across key functions, partner directly with the CEO and founding team to set the talent bar that defines what Vega becomes. The people you bring in will shape our culture, our product, and our trajectory. That’s the weight of this role, and also the opportunity. What You’ll Do Full‑Cycle Ownership: Own sourcing through close across all Claims department jobs, partnering with agencies and other resources when applicable. Proactive Sourcing: You won’t wait on inbound. You’ll identify the profiles we need before they’re looking and build pipelines ahead of the requisition. Hiring Manager Partnership: Push back on vague requirements. Define the right profile. Hold the bar even under pressure to fill seats fast. Candidate Experience: Every touchpoint reflects Vega. You’ll ensure candidates leave the process — accepted or not — with a strong impression of who we are. Talent Strategy: Advise leadership on compensation benchmarks, market dynamics, org design, and where to invest hiring resources for maximum leverage. Scale the Function: Build the playbooks, workflows, and documentation that will set Vega up for long‑term success. Team Support: Partner on recruiting and team events coordination and day‑to‑day office tasks, helping keep operations running smoothly. About You Experience: 5-7+ years of full‑cycle claims technical recruiting. A plus if you have 2+ years at an early‑stage company (Series A–C) where you built or influenced processes. Closer Mentality: You run tight processes, create urgency without pressure, and win competitive offers on mission and culture — not just comp. High Bar Operator: Quality is non‑negotiable for you, even when the business is moving fast. Startup Grit: You thrive in ambiguity. You have an owner mentality and don’t need a team around you to be effective. Employee engagement innovator: You know how to create and develop recruiting events to attract and retain top talent. In addition, you will help with current team events to add to overall team dynamic. Atlanta Based: Our team works together in person and you’ll be embedded in that culture from day one. This is a hybrid role working out of our Buckhead office. Benefits Competitive Salary Equity — giving you a direct stake in the future of an AI‑native industry leader Top‑tier medical, dental, and vision insurance 401k with company match Unlimited PTO and flexibility A fast‑paced, high‑talent‑density team that values transparency and shipping fast Vega offers a wide range of best‑in‑class, comprehensive benefits including 100% employer paid healthcare plans, an up to 4% 401k match program, paid time off, parental leave, wellness reimbursement, work‑from‑home stipend and more.
