Lila Sciences is building Scientific Superintelligence to solve major challenges through AI-driven autonomous science. As Lead Recruiter, you will own end-to-end recruiting across Lila's commercial and business functions, with primary focus on go-to-market and corporate development roles, plus meaningful coverage of Product, Finance, Legal, People, and Marketing as priorities shift.
This is a hands-on, full-cycle role where you source, screen, conduct interviews, and close offers. You will partner directly with senior leaders to translate strategy into hiring plans and bring in operators, dealmakers, and builders who shape company growth. Your responsibilities include owning searches across commercial, corporate development, and G&A functions; partnering with hiring managers to define roles and calibrate interview panels; building proactive pipelines through creative sourcing; driving offer strategy and negotiation for senior individual contributors and people-leader hires; advising leadership on market conditions and compensation benchmarks; and improving recruiting process and tooling with focus on candidate experience.
You will sit on the Talent Acquisition team based in Cambridge, MA, and work across the full breadth of how Lila is built as business priorities move. The role requires 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience with deep sourcing expertise in go-to-market and product roles in technical environments, plus a track record of closing senior hires at high-growth startups. You need excellent stakeholder management skills, ability to flex across multiple functions, and experience using pipeline metrics and reporting to drive decisions. Bonus experience includes recruiting at deep-tech, biotech, or scientific companies; scaling recruiting functions from early to mid-stage; familiarity with Greenhouse and modern sourcing tools; and hiring across Finance, Legal, or People functions.
