Contract Recruiter, GTM and Ops (New York)

Prior Labs • New York City, NY

6d • Onsite

About The Position

We are seeking a Contract Recruiter to manage end-to-end hiring for the commercial and operational core of Prior Labs in the US. This role will focus on the go-to-market team (sales and partnerships) and the operations functions essential for a fast-scaling AI company. It is a full-stack, hands-on position in a competitive market where top talent is highly sought after.

Requirements

• 5+ years in-house GTM and/or G&A recruiting at a high-growth startup (Series A and beyond), ideally in a technical or deep-tech product environment.
• Track record closing enterprise sales, partnerships, or revenue-leadership hires against better-funded competitors.
• Hands-on experience hiring finance or compliance profiles (accounting, FP&A, controller, legal/compliance ops) or a credible plan for how you'd get up to speed fast.
• Hiring in the US market, ideally NYC; exposure to EU hiring is a strong plus.
• High agency and ownership; operates as a full stack recruiter.
• Direct and commercially honest with both candidates and hiring managers.
• Detail-obsessed on pipeline hygiene and weekly metrics; treats the ATS as a source of truth.

Responsibilities

• Source commercial and operational talent across the US, from enterprise AE and partnerships profiles to finance and compliance operators.
• Position Prior Labs compellingly against better-known AI companies, late-stage SaaS, and fintech where the comp is often bigger and the brand more familiar.
• Navigate multi-hub hiring across New York, Berlin, and Freiburg (comp bands, notice periods, US/EU employment differences, occasional relocation and visa work).
• Assess commercial and operational depth quickly to curate high calibre shortlists.
• Run efficient, structured interview loops with clear rubrics and fast debriefs.
• Manage, negotiate and close offers, including variable comp and equity conversations.
• Manage the pipeline operationally in the ATS with clean stages and weekly metrics.
