About the role

We're looking for a Senior Talent Partner who lives and breathes Engineering hiring. You know the difference between a great engineer and a good one, and you care deeply about getting that call right. You bring that same rigor to Product, with enough depth to recognize strong product thinking when you see it.

This is a role for someone who moves fast and holds a high bar at the same time. You've built pipelines, closed hard searches, and pushed back on mediocre hires. You believe talent density is a strategy, and you want to be somewhere the stakes are real.

You're genuinely excited by what Counsel is building at the intersection of AI and healthcare. That excitement makes you a better partner to hiring managers, a better evaluator of candidates, and more invested in getting every hire right.

This role is Boston-based. We're committed to building a Boston office, and we want someone who wants to be part of that from the start.

What you’ll do

• Own full-cycle hiring across Engineering and Product, from first sourcing touch to signed offer

• Partner with leadership and hiring managers to define what great looks like for each role and make fast, high-conviction decisions

• Design and run sourcing campaigns that go beyond the standard playbook. You find people others miss and know how to get their attention

• Serve as a trusted advisor to the team, sharing market intel, keeping stakeholders aligned, and ensuring no one is ever surprised by where a candidate stands

• Champion a high bar for talent in every search, every conversation, every offer

What you’ll bring

• 7+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with the majority focused on technical roles

• Deep fluency in engineering skill sets: backend, frontend, full-stack, ML/AI, data engineering, and DevOps. You deeply evaluate candidates, not just process them

• Experience recruiting Product roles, with a clear sense of what great product thinking looks like

• Strong command of Ashby ATS, with a real focus on data integrity and analytics

• A track record of closing senior and niche roles through outbound sourcing, not just inbound

• The kind of relationship with hiring teams where they actually want your opinion, not just your pipeline update

• A genuine obsession with talent density and quality: you've raised bars, pushed back on mediocre hires, and built teams that made a real difference

You're a great fit if

• You have strong familiarity with the NYC startup ecosystem: the talent networks, the companies, the competitive dynamics

• You're based in the Boston area and genuinely excited to work from an office as we build that presence

• You're deeply interested in AI and where it's going, and you want to work somewhere that's building something real with it

• You've recruited technical roles at the intersection of AI, data, and product in startup environments

• You actively use AI tools in your recruiting workflow and have strong opinions about where they make you better

• You're excited to help shape what a highly AI-enabled Talent team looks like, not just participate in it

• You know Ashby well, have strong opinions about how to use it right, and lean on data-driven reporting to drive recruiting insights

Role location:

Boston - hybrid

What we offer

• Impact: Be at the center of Counsel's talent engine at a moment when every hire changes the trajectory

• Growth: Real opportunities to shape how we build the team as the company scales

• Exposure: Direct access to leadership and close proximity to some of the most ambitious work happening in healthcare technology

• Compensation: Competitive salary + equity

• Benefits: Comprehensive healthcare, vision + dental, 401K, Unlimited PTO, Parental Leave, and a team that takes the work seriously without taking itself too seriously

-----------------------------------------------------

Our Values

• Patients come first.
We are clinicians 1st, technologists 2nd. We act with patient trust/safety at the center of every decision.

• Innovate with optimism.
We are optimistic as we build the future of care delivery from first principles. Challenge the status quo when needed, no sacred cows.

• Right answer wins.
Debate openly and pick the strongest path. We optimize for the company, not functions. We win and lose as a team.

• Simplicity over complexity.
We choose clear, elegant solutions and avoid adding complexity that does not serve patients or the team.

• Do fewer things, well.
We focus, and hold ourselves to the highest bar and pursue excellence in those areas.
