The Role

As Head of Talent, you'll continue to build and refine the system that drives hiring at Chronograph and own hiring process across all global geographies including the US, UK, EMEA, and Singapore. The caliber of our people is what sets us apart and the bar is already high, but we are seeking to ensure maximal process effectiveness and efficiency as we continue to grow. Your job is to turn our existing efforts into a highly optimized process that holds the same standards on every search and with every hiring manager.

This is a systems-builder role, not a volume-throughput one. With the benefit of AI efficiency gains, we expect to hire roughly 20 to 30 people a year going forward (weighted toward engineering, sales, and product) with the continued expectation of top performers filling every role. The mandate is quality and talent density, not raw headcount volume or throughput. We want a designed, consistent, thoughtful, and continually improving process across all aspects of talent acquisition.

You'll report to our Chief People Officer and work directly and often with our CEO and the executive team. You'll work closely with our existing in-house Associate Director of Talent as your second in command, who runs execution on each search, including outbound and first-round screening. You'll shape what the team should become from there. "Head of" is a senior, function-owning title at Chronograph; we intend this role to carry domain authority over how we hire.

What you'll own

• Candidate evaluation design. Design a system to help hiring managers define what each role should test for, a strategy for giving every interviewer a targeted focus so no one assesses everything, and a framework for reusable case studies per role family instead of having to reinvent them each search.
• Scorecard standards and calibration. Develop consistent, meaningful scorecards and calibration frameworks that keep interviews honest. You will drive alignment across a hiring group before a search opens and s

nce. You've driven senior stakeholders (including people who outranked you) to a shared standard with evidence rather than authority, and you're comfortable telling a hiring manager the profile they asked for isn't the one they need.

• You treat hiring as a systems problem and lead with data over anecdotes.
• You're genuinely curious about AI and already experimenting with it in your own work or personal projects. You don't need a prewired prompt library, but you should reach for leverage instinctively. Demonstrated AI workflows in recruiting are a strong plus.
• You own your ATS rather than work around it. Hands-on Greenhouse admin experience, and ideally a view on where ATS tooling should go next.
• You care about what happens after day one. You've tracked quality of hire past the offer and worked with managers or a People team to connect how people ramp back to how you hired them.
• You've likely spent seven or more years in recruiting , because the judgment this needs is hard to accumulate faster. We care about the judgment, not the number, and we're not attached to a particular prior title.
