Rockbot is seeking a Director of Talent Acquisition to build and lead a world-class recruiting function. The company currently operates with a strong technical recruiter and senior GTM recruiting consultant, but lacks permanent leadership and strategic capability for senior-level searches and operational maturity.
In this role, you will own the complete talent acquisition strategy and execution. Key responsibilities include:
- Build best-in-class recruiting playbooks, systems, and operating rhythms that scale without depending on any single person
- Integrate AI and automation throughout the recruiting workflow—sourcing, screening, scheduling, candidate communication, and reporting—in partnership with the technical recruiter leading the Ashby ATS transition
- Create leadership-level recruiting dashboards and reporting that provide executives real visibility into pipeline health, hiring velocity, and quality metrics
- Coach and develop hiring managers into stronger interviewers and talent assessors, raising interview quality across the company
- Lead and grow the recruiting team while staying personally hands-on with the company's highest-impact searches
- Personally run a focused portfolio of critical searches: executive leadership, Director-level roles, Enterprise Sales/GTM leadership, and other business-critical positions
- Build trusted, consultative partnerships with executives and hiring managers
- Use recruiting metrics and data to drive continuous improvement
You will report to the VP of People & Talent, who owns org design, workforce planning, and hiring philosophy. This is a player-coach role where you lead the in-house recruiting team while maintaining personal involvement in the most critical searches.
Rockbot is an omnichannel media platform providing music, TV, digital signage, and advertising solutions to businesses across restaurants, bars, retail, and other industries. Backed by Google and Universal Music Group, the company is fully remote with a preference for West Coast candidates.
REQUIREMENTS:
- High judgment required for executive-level searches and sensitive people decisions
- Demonstrated experience across both technical and GTM/Sales recruiting (deep expertise in one with strong exposure to the other acceptable)
- Proven operational capability: you've built leadership-facing dashboards, reporting, and metrics that drove real business decisions
- Track record building or scaling Recruiting Operations: process, tooling (Ashby, Claude AI, JuiceBox, LinkedIn Recruiter, or similar AI sourcing tools), analytics, and vendor evaluation
- Personal experience leading senior/executive-level searches, not just supporting them
- Strong operational rigor paired with intellectual curiosity—this is as much systems-building as recruiting
- Player-coach mentality: comfortable leading a small team while staying personally in the work
- Credibility to be a trusted advisor to executives, not an intake order-taker
- Comfort operating in a lean organization where Directors lead through both strategy and execution
- Background at a high-bar, fast-moving company (tech, media, SaaS, or similar) where you've seen modern, high-caliber Talent Acquisition
- Self-driven with real energy and initiative; ability to create momentum and structure in a fully remote environment
