Recruiting Lead

Tutor Intelligence•Watertown, MA

23h•$137,000 - $174,000•Onsite

About The Position

Tutor is deploying cutting-edge robotics AI into factories and warehouses across the country, and scaling that mission requires world-class people — engineers pushing the frontier of what robots can do, operators who thrive in complex environments, and commercial leaders who can bring this technology to market. As our Recruiting Lead, you'll be the person who finds them, closes them, and builds the team and systems to do it at scale. You'll report into the Head of People Strategy and work closely with senior leadership and hiring managers across the org, shaping not just who we hire, but how we think about talent. We're looking for someone with sharp recruiting instincts and a builder's mindset. You've closed competitive searches across all areas of an organization and you know how to sell a mission, not just a job description. You're equally comfortable sourcing a passive candidate, coaching a hiring manager through a tough decision, and designing the process that makes the next ten searches run more smoothly. And you take seriously the fact that you're often the first person a candidate ever talks to at Tutor — you understand that every interaction is a reflection of who we are, and you bring the same care and intentionality to a first outreach message as you do to closing an offer.

Requirements

5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally spanning both technical (software/ML/robotics) and GTM/CX roles
Demonstrated experience building or scaling a recruiting function, not just executing within one
Proven ability to close senior and hard-to-find candidates in competitive markets
Strong sourcing instincts — you know how to find people who aren't looking
Experience partnering directly with senior leadership as a thought partner on talent strategy
Comfortable operating in ambiguity; you create structure, you don't wait for it
Strong written and verbal communication — you can sell Tutor's mission compellingly
Familiarity with ATS platforms (we currently use Lever) and recruiting tooling

Nice To Haves

Experience recruiting at an early-stage startup (Series A–C)
Background recruiting for robotics, industrial automation, manufacturing tech, or deep tech companies
Experience managing or mentoring junior recruiters or coordinators
Familiarity with compensation benchmarking and offer structuring
Network in Boston/Cambridge technical or operations talent communities

Responsibilities

Full-cycle recruiting across all open roles — near-term priority on a CX/GTM Recruiter and a Technical Recruiter
Building and structuring a recruiting team over the next 12 months
Developing and owning Tutor's employer brand, candidate experience, and sourcing strategy
Partnering with the Head of People Strategy and other senior leadership to define hiring plans and workforce strategy as we scale
Setting recruiting metrics, reporting, and process standards across the org
