Head of Talent

Numeric is building the next generation, AI-native accounting stack from the ground up. We’re trusted by leading companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Brex, Plaid, and Betterment and backed by $39M from Founders Fund, IVP, and Menlo Ventures.

At Numeric, we care deeply about build a company of exceptionally talented people. We treat recruiting as a first-principles, high-leverage craft that drives everything we do and ultimately sets the ceiling on how high our ambitions can be. We apply intense rigor to our processes, focus on making improvements every day, look to challenge conventional wisdom, and aim to provide a high-touch, personal experiences to candidates every time.

As our Head of Talent, you’ll own this function end-to-end. From strategy to execution, you’ll define how we attract, evaluate, and close world-class people. And as a result you will shape the caliber, pace, and trajectory of the company itself.

• Own recruiting across the company — from pipeline generation to close, across GTM, product, and engineering

• Partner directly with founders and execs on org design, headcount planning, and hiring strategy

• Build and scale the systems, processes, and tools that power high-velocity, high-quality hiring

• Define and uphold the standard for excellence in recruiting: speed, clarity, rigor

• Lead and grow a small, world-class recruiting team to support all current and future roles

• Embed deeply across the company to become a talent multiplier in every function.

• Fill recs

• Has 6+ years of recruiting experience, ideally including time at a high-growth startup

• Has likely hired across both technical and non-technical functions

• Moves fast, exercises sharp judgment, and takes full ownership

• Is a systems thinker — equally strong on day-to-day execution and long-term infrastructure

• Wants to build something enduring and is excited to be part of an ambitious, in-person team

This role is in person in San Francisco or New York (in office by default but with flexibility to manage your schedule as you see fit).

We strongly believe we will only be successful if everyone on the team is anchored in our following set of core principles:

• Brick by Brick: To win, our team needs to show up and execute in each domain every day.

• Love the Game: We focus on the craft and a deep sense of giving a f*ck. We’re building a company full of people who are equally engaged and motivated.

• SALY: We refuse to accept “Same As Last Year.” For too long, accounting and finance systems have reflected outdated processes instead of reimagining what’s possible. We’re driven by a first-principles approach to building better solutions.

• Own the Outcome: We own our results. We typically hire builders and give them large mandates with high-trust. Engineers are responsible not just for code, but for ensuring the product is solving the end problems of the users.

• Earn the right: We’re impatient to deliver results. We relentlessly iterate, measure, and improve. Every day is an opportunity to beat our prior best, raising the bar for the value we deliver to customers. E Pluribus Unum-eric.
