Head of Talent

Head Of Talent

Healthcare operations have always depended on people to bridge the gaps that technology couldn't. It relies on complex manual work to carry out critical internal processes, yet most health systems don't have enough resources to properly automate these tasks, leaving them stuck in outdated, labor-intensive SOPs. Luminai structures the chaos, automates the manual handoffs, and deploys end-to-end workflows across every system, providing the integrated intelligence layer to improve processes over time. By delegating to autonomous AI systems those mission-critical workflows that previously expended valuable human time, Luminai allows doctors and administrators to do what they do best: Focus on Patients. We've raised $60M in funding, including our recent Series B led by Peak XV Partners (formerly Sequoia India), with participation from healthcare-focused Define Ventures and continued support from General Catalyst and Y Combinator. We're backed by some of the best investors in Silicon Valley, including Kevin Weil (Chief Product Officer at OpenAI), Arash Ferdowsi (co-founder of Dropbox), Katie Stanton (former VP Global Media, Twitter), and CEOs of companies such as Flexport, Notion, Front, Ramp, and Twitch.

Our team is in-office 3 days a week (Mon, Tue, Thu) in either San Mateo, California or New York, New York.

About The Role

As our Head of Talent, you will own end-to-end recruiting and help build the people foundations that let Luminai scale. This is a high-impact role at a key growth moment. You'll be responsible for building hiring strategy, running full-cycle recruiting across teams, and evolving our hiring processes as we grow.

You'll partner closely with leadership and hiring managers to define what "great" looks like, build repeatable systems, and deliver a candidate experience that reflects the way we operate: high-ownership, high-velocity, and high standards.

What You'll Do

• Own full-cycle recruiting across the company, with an initial focus on high-priority roles across Engineering, Product, Design, and GTM
• Partner with founders and hiring managers to align on role requirements, leveling, scorecards, and interview loops
• Build proactive sourcing strategies to consistently generate high-quality pipelines across critical roles
• Develop and run the recruiting operating system: pipeline reviews, process improvements, structured debriefs, and decision-making cadence
• Lead offer strategy and closing, including compensation and equity conversations, and ensure a smooth, high-conviction close process
• Track and report recruiting metrics (pipeline health, conversion rates, time-to-fill, sources of hire) to continuously improve outcomes
• Build scalable hiring infrastructure (ATS workflows, interview training, candidate experience standards, coordination processes)
• Own and evolve employer branding efforts, including messaging, referrals, and community-building to support long-term talent pipelines
• Partner with leadership on people foundations as needed (onboarding, role clarity, feedback loops) to ensure the team scales cleanly

What We're Looking For

• 7+ years of recruiting / talent experience, ideally in high-growth technology companies
• Proven success owning full-cycle recruiting across multiple functions and seniority levels
• Strong sourcing and closing ability, you know how to find great people and get them across the line
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with comfort partnering directly with leadership
• Strong operational muscle: you build systems, run cadence, and keep high-signal process without slowing teams down
• Data-driven approach to recruiting, with experience using metrics to improve funnel performance
• Familiarity with ATS platforms (ideally Ashby) and building lightweight, scalable recruiting workflows
• Experience hiring in healthcare or enterprise software is a plus
