About The Position

NewLimit is a biotechnology company working to radically extend human healthspan. We’re developing medicines to treat age-related diseases by reprogramming the epigenome, a new therapeutic mechanism to restore regenerative potential in aged and diseased cells. We leverage functional genomics, pooled perturbation screening, and machine learning models to unravel the biology of epigenetic aging and disease using experiments of unprecedented scale.

NewLimit is seeking an Executive Recruiter to own all executive-level hiring for our fast-growing company.

• Experience building or improving recruiting function strategy and processes

Responsibilities

• Partner with our executive team and senior leadership to scope executive-level positions, define success criteria, and develop hiring strategies
• Source and recruit executive talent across technical, operational, and commercial domains — identifying rare candidates who combine deep domain expertise with leadership caliber
• Own the end-to-end recruiting process for all executive hires: from sourcing and candidate development through offer negotiation and close
• Develop relationships with top-tier talent across computational biology, machine learning, functional genomics, immunology, and related fields
• Execute with excellence across all unit operations (sourcing, scheduling, closing) to deliver high-impact hires
• Contribute to scaling recruiting processes and strategies to support accelerating hiring needs across the organization
