Provectus
Talent Acquisition Partner (AI Engineering, Product, GTM Recruiter), New York / New Jersey
About the Role:
The hiring problem you'd be solving
We build AI systems that enterprises run their business on. Production systems inside banks, insurers, and health systems, where our engineers embed with the client, learn the work, and own the outcome. We call them Forward Deployed Engineers and Forward Deployed Executives. These people hold design conversations with a Chief Data Officer on Tuesday and ship to production next Monday.
We are hiring a Recruiter to help us scale our FDE/FDX, Product, and GTM teams. Beyond filling roles, you will help build the community around Provectus. You'd own our US talent community strategy.
Five open reqs at a time, none of them generic. We would rather you run five properly than twenty badly.
What You'll Do:
Full-cycle hiring across the US for Forward Deployed Engineers (software, AI/ML, architects, leads), Forward Deployed Executives, Product Owners, and Business Development Managers. Intake to offer.
Direct sourcing as the primary channel. LinkedIn, GitHub, community channels, referrals. Passive candidates doing the most consequential AI work, not the ones already looking. You'll build and keep the talent maps for these profiles in financial services, insurance, healthcare, and life sciences.
Partnership with the hiring managers. You'll run calibration with them and bring market data when a scorecard doesn't match what exists.
Architect and execute Provectus's talent community strategy in the US. Meetups, workshops, hackathons, university programs, and the AI/ML communities our candidates actually spend time in, so the engineers we want know who we are before we reach out. You don't need to have run events before. You need to want to help with that, and there's a budget and support from marketing when you do.
The US hiring picture. Talent market intelligence, compensation benchmarking, and how we position Provectus against the companies competing for the same engineers.
What you'll bring:
- 2+ years of full-cycle recruiting, ideally somewhere technical, fast-moving, or consulting-shaped
- Proven track record hiring senior technical profiles — AI/ML engineers, software engineers, architects, or consulting leaders
- Direct sourcing as a real skill. You can build a market map from scratch and write outreach a senior engineer actually answers.
- You already use AI in your own workflow. Come ready to show us what and how. This is one place where being early in your career is often an advantage.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
- Highly organized and comfortable with ambiguity in a distributed, global team
- Based in the New York / New Jersey area and able to be onsite [2-3] days a week
Nice to have: experience at a consultancy or embedded delivery model, GTM or sales hiring, prior event or community building.
Where this goes:
This is a growing US function. The person who does this well takes on more of the community mandate, more senior searches, and a path toward owning the US talent function. We'll talk about that trajectory.
What We Offer:
- Direct impact on Provectus's growth in the US market with direct visibility to leadership.
- Access to the Provectus Learning Hub, Claude Code certification support, and access to Anthropic's frontier models as part of our Strategic Partnership
- Collaborative culture that rewards ownership, curiosity, and continuous learning
- B2B contract model or Full-time W2 model.
- OTE range $100-140k. Final offer reflects experience, skills, and market data.
- Health, vision, and dental insurance; 401(k) matching; unlimited vacation; 401(K) matching plan (in case W2).
