Head of People Recruitment

AI is changing how the world communicates — and LILT is leading that transformation. We're on a mission to make the world's information accessible to everyone, regardless of the language they speak. We use cutting-edge AI, machine translation, and human-in-the-loop expertise to translate content faster, more accurately, and more cost-effectively without compromising on brand, voice, or quality.
At LILT, we empower our teammates with leading tools, global collaboration, and growth opportunities to do their best work. Dance in the Customer's Shoes; Quality is Job 1—guide everything we do. Backed by Sequoia, Intel Capital, and Redpoint, we're building a category-defining company in a $50B+ global translation market being redefined by AI.
This position is based in our SF Bay Area office and will be expected to work in the office in a hybrid capacity. LILT is hybrid with hubs in SF, NY, Indianapolis, Boston, London, and Berlin.
With blue-chip enterprise customers and a robust pipeline of both AI and modern software innovation, LILT seeks a courageous and strategic People leader. You spike in recruiting / talent and know what good looks like in operations, compliance, and employee relations. You will be curating and developer a group of builder-coaches who build and manage AI systems.
Our market is at the intersection of enterprise AI, AI data, and human operations. This requires highly specialized personnel that you're able to recruit, evaluate, and develop.
~ International leadership: 50% of our workforce is in Europe, and we have contractors in LATAM and APAC. Talent / recruiting genius: your zone of genius is recruiting and developing niche talent. Our business requires a unique blend of operating rigor, extreme quality control, and flexibility.
You'll be building and running the People function with your own hands — writing the policies, driving the review cycle, and solving the day-to-day issues directly, not just setting direction for a team to execute. Excited about in-office: we're in-office three days a week. You're stoked about this and have lots of ideas for building an energetic, generative in-office experience.
Managing workplace health and flourishing as a product: you can articulate a plan for iterating on and improving the workplace health and vitality so that we're the most compelling place to work in our market.
Qualities
