Founding Recruiter and People Operations Manager

Lindy•San Francisco, CA

11d

About The Position

Lindy is building the AI assistant for everyone else — not the tinkerers, not the builders, but the people who just want their day back. Lindy Assistant lives in iMessage, handles email, calendar, and meetings, and takes two minutes to set up. We're building the layer between powerful AI models and real people's lives. We're looking for our first dedicated people hire: someone who can own recruiting end-to-end while building out the people ops foundation underneath it. This isn't a coordinator role. You'll set the strategy, run the process, and build the systems. You'll be the person who makes sure we hire the right people, fast — and that we don't fumble the basics once they're in the door.

Strong sourcer: you know how to find people who aren't looking
Comfortable owning people ops basics without a dedicated HR team around you
Fast, organized, and good at pushing hiring managers to make decisions
