Curate Partners Jobs in Missouri (NOW HIRING)

Albert helps chemists change the world by building technology that understands how they work. As chemists ourselves, we know whatit’slike when softwaredoesn’twork the way you do — stuck with systems built by people who never spent a dayatthe bench.That’swhy we created Albert OS, the first AI-native operating system for materials science, designed to remove every obstacle between curiosity and discovery.

We're looking for an ambitious and results-driven Talent Partner to join our growing team. This role, with a focus on building and scaling Albert's talent acquisition function, will play a key part in driving how we find, attract, and close the people who will define what Albert becomes.

If you're passionate about cutting-edge technology and thrive in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment, we want to hear from you.

• Talent Experience: Candidacy at Albert feels intentional and distinct — because how Albert hires reflects what Albert values. Own the full candidate journey — communications, interview process, offer experience — and curate every touchpoint to reflect that. Partner with Marketing and the People team to shape candidate-facing messaging and define what makes Albert a compelling place to work, so the experience a candidate has is never accidental and rarely forgettable.
• Infrastructure: A hiring function that runs consistently and absorbs volume without constant manual intervention. Configure ATS workflows, build sourcing frameworks, and establish the data and reporting that keep the system honest.
• Tools, Automation & AI: Recruiting work runs more efficiently because you designed it that way. Identify, deploy, and manage the tools and agents that remove friction — and think critically about where automation adds value and where human judgment is irreplaceable.

• Outbound Recruiting: The right people choose Albert because you found them and made a compelling case. Lead deep outbound sourcing for Build org roles — AI engineers, software architects, product managers, and designers — with the craft and persistence these roles require.
• Compliance & Fairness: Every hiring decision is consistent and compliant. Develop and maintain structured interview frameworks, evaluation criteria, and hiring guidelines that work across all roles and in partnership with recruiting teams globally.

• Executive & Hiring Manager Partnership: Albert makes better hires because of the structure and perspective you bring. Consult on role and process design, enable structured interview practices, and bring informed points of view — not just execution.
• Global TA Ecosystem: Albert hires with consistency and credibility across every region. Build and coordinate the broader talent acquisition infrastructure across the US, Germany, India, and Japan — partnering with both external recruiting agencies and internal recruiters to establish shared global practices, policies, and standards.

• 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with depth in technical roles — AI engineering, software architecture, product management, and design.
• Demonstrated experience building or significantly improving a recruiting function, not just executing within one.
• Hands-on use of AI tools, ATS automation, or recruiting technology to solve real problems.
• Startup or high-growth company experience — comfortable creating structure where none exists.
• Global recruiting exposure with strong US market knowledge.
• Experience working with and influencing senior executives who move fast.
• Strong communication across candidates, hiring managers, and leadership.
• A track record of closing — not just sourcing but persuading the right people to say yes.
• Autonomy: Does not wait to be asked. Creates their own path, follows up without prompting, takes full ownership of their work, and holds themselves accountable when things do not go as planned.
• Builder mindset: Has worked in environments without a playbook and made something from nothing. Energized by ambiguity, not paralyzed by it.
• AI fluency: Thinks critically about what belongs to a system and what belongs to a human. Uses AI tools practically, not performatively.
• Candidate empathy: Designs recruiting experiences the way a great product designer thinks about users — with care, intentionality, and a genuine interest in how people feel.
• Strategic partnership: Earns trust with executives and hiring managers by bringing informed points of view, not just executing requests.
• Creativity: Thinks beyond job boards and standard outreach. Brings original ideas to how Albert attracts talent — how we tell our story, where we show up, and what makes a candidate choose us over a better-known name.
• Grit: Persistent, resilient, and genuinely invested in outcomes. Does not mistake movement for progress.

We have a huge impact. Albert is a growing team with a global reach. We're building toward a future where discovery feels like exploration, not administration. Where chemists can pursue their most ambitious ideas without friction.

We love our global team. Albert's home-base is in the California Bay Area, but we have multiple offices and employees sprinkled around the globe: India, Germany and Japan. In fact, over 50% of our employees work outside of California! An international hybrid culture is in our DNA. We care about you. Albert works hard to create a positive environment for our employees, and we think your life outside of work is important too. We work hard and we play hard. We value diversity. Growing and maintaining our inclusive and diverse team matters to us. We are committed to being a company where our employees feel comfortable bringing their authentic selves to work and have the ability to be successful — every day. We're always looking for humble, sharp, and creative folks to join the Albert team. If you think you might be a fit, please apply!
