Role Overview
As the Head of Talent Acquisition & Culture, you will own how Hadley Designs sources, vets, and closes top global talent, and you will own the broader people system that talent steps into. You will partner with leadership to design the recruiting engine that consistently delivers strong top-of-funnel for every open role, and you will scale the people systems that hold a remote, contractor-centric organization together as it grows toward $100M and beyond.
This is a leadership-tier role with 1 direct report (the People Operations Specialist) and end-to-end ownership of the talent and people functions. Your weeks will be heavier on recruiting in the near term, live pipelines, structured interviews, test projects, employer brand, and steady on People Operations throughout (onboarding, performance frameworks, contractor renewal, leadership enablement).

• Sourcing Channel Optimization: Manage and optimize sourcing channels based on performance; build "always hiring" shortlists for recurring high-leverage roles.
• Employer Brand & Glassdoor Defense: Monitor and manage Glassdoor reviews, organize team review drives, ask for feedback, flag issues, protect brand rating.
• Hiring Metrics & Funnel Reporting: Deliver weekly hiring pipeline reports broken down by channel and role; track funnel performance against KPIs.
People Operations:
• People Systems Leadership: Design and implement systems for engaging, onboarding, and retaining talent, align
ed with the company's growth objectives.
• Organizational Design and Capacity Planning: Collaborate with leadership to ensure that the organizational structure and workforce planning meet the evolving needs of the business.

• Ability to handle 5-10 active roles at a time with no drop-off in process.
• Experience defending brand reputation and responding to feedback (e.g. Glassdoor).
• Experience building and running reporting for hiring metrics.
People Operations (must-haves):
