Talent Acquisition & Operations Lead

About Cymphony

Cymphony is a well-funded cybersecurity startup backed by Sequoia and Fin Capital, building a new category: workforce security.

Once companies connect AI to tools like SharePoint, Box and the CRM, years of oversharing become real exposure. Cymphony maps every person and AI agent to the data and access behind them, shows which risks matter, and makes fixing them simple. The result is a clear green light to roll out AI safely.

Global enterprises including KKR, Syngenta and Cass rely on Cymphony to adopt AI safely.

About the role

We are hiring our first Talent Acquisition & Operations Lead to help build the team, and the company around it, in New York. This is a role for someone with a few years of tech recruiting under their belt who is ready to own the function, not just support it. You will work directly with our leadership, and you will grow as fast as the company does.

What you’ll do

Talent Acquisition (~70%)

• Own the full recruiting cycle, from intake and sourcing to offer and close
• Partner with founders and hiring managers to define roles, scorecards and interview loops
• Source proactively and build pipelines for hard-to-fill roles, not just post and wait
• Manage relationships with external recruiters and agencies, and know when to use them
• Run a candidate experience that reflects how we want to be seen in the market
• Set up and own our recruiting tools, process and reporting
• Build onboarding so new hires are productive from week one

Operations (~30%)

• Run our SoHo office: vendors, supplies, facilities, and making it a place people want to show up to
• Support the GTM team with logistics for events, customer meetings, offsites and travel
• Own internal processes that keep a fast-growing team organized
• Pick up whatever falls between the cracks, and then make sure it stops falling there

What we’re looking for

• 3-5 years of recruiting experience, in-house or agency, with startup experience a strong plus
• Experience running hiring processes end to end, or a clear readiness to take that on
• Hands-on sourcing experience and comfort reaching out to candidates cold
• Some exposure to office management, vendor management or business operations
• Highly organized, able to juggle many open loops without dropping any
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity with very little structure
• High ownership mentality and a bias to action
• Strong communicator who builds trust quickly with candidates and teammates
• Hungry to learn and grow into a senior talent role
• Interest in cybersecurity or B2B SaaS is a big advantage
• Experience working with cross-border teams across the US and Israel is a plus

Why join

• First TA and ops hire in the US, with a clear path to grow into leading the talent function
• Direct mentorship and partnership with leadership
• High ownership and autonomy from day one
• A team that works hard, moves fast, and actually enjoys doing it together, in person
• Compensation range: $90,000 - $135,000 base + equity
