Embedded talent leadership without the full-time hire.
Intro
An embedded Head of Talent for early-stage teams after funding. I own hiring strategy, process, and execution so growth creates leverage instead of chaos. This is senior talent leadership designed to scale with the business.
What This Includes
Hiring strategy ownership: Translate business priorities into a clear hiring plan, sequencing roles by impact, timing, and runway.
Role design and leveling: Define roles, scope, and seniority so hires are made for where the company is going, not where it has been.
Hiring process and tooling: Build or refine interview structure, evaluation criteria, and systems that create consistency and signal.
Candidate evaluation and decision support: Guide interviews, calibrate feedback, and help founders make confident final decisions.
Selective hands-on execution: Step in to run searches or close priority roles where speed, quality, or discretion matters most.
