Senior Talent Acquisition Partner

Flux • Austin, TX

38d • Onsite

About The Position

We’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Partner to drive hiring during one of Flux’s most critical periods of growth. We’re building a hardware team in Austin from the ground up and and hiring is our #1 priority. You’ll work directly with leadership, hiring managers, and the People and Operations teams to drive top-of-funnel, candidate experience, and the hiring process end to end. You’ll manage both delivery and systems, closing hard-to-fill roles, while helping to build the infrastructure that helps us hire smarter and faster. You’ll work alongside a global Talent team to lay foundations to scale in Austin. The ideal candidate will have 0-1 experience in the accelerator space or deep tech with a creative mindset to navigate early stage challenges, and a track record of success hiring in a high performance environment. You’ll know what it takes to close junior engineers and technical senior leaders alike, with the ability to drive results independently and communicate clearly with your global Talent team. This role is based in our Austin office in The Domain and is 5 days a week in person.

Requirements

• 6+ years of recruiting experience, at least half of which has been in-house at a fast-paced startup or high-growth tech company.
• Track record of hiring top technical talent, whether that’s ML engineers, digital designers, systems architects, or otherwise.
• Excellent sourcing instincts and a creative approach to candidate engagement.
• Confident partnering with senior stakeholders; you’re comfortable saying “no” and backing it up with data or insight.
• Organised, responsive, and rigorous; you keep processes moving without dropping the ball.
• Passionate about candidate experience and helping build a hiring culture that scales and drives forward the company values.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in deep tech or hardware-driven environments, and/or 0-1 experience in the accelerator space - especially where talent is scarce and highly specialised.

Responsibilities

• Manage full-cycle recruiting across key roles (engineering, technical leadership, operations, commercial), from sourcing through to close.
• Build and execute scalable sourcing strategies to surface top-tier, hard-to-reach candidates across the US.
• Partner with hiring managers to craft compelling roles, sharpen their interviewing skills, and ensure fast, high-quality processes.
• Uphold high standards for candidate experience; every touchpoint should reflect our values.
• Help define and drive Flux’s employer brand, ensuring we show up in the right communities with the right voice.
• Evolve the recruiting stack and reporting.
• Identify process improvements as we scale (e.g. calibration tools, interview training, DEI tracking).
• Manage relationships with external partners (agencies, sourcers, etc.) and hold them to a high bar.

Benefits

• Competitive salary, depending on experience
• Generous stock options in a rapidly growing AI company
• Based in our office in The Domain in Austin
• To foster collaboration in our high-growth environment, we require all employees to work from our SF office and live within a 45-minute commute. We offer an extra $24,000/year incentive for those living within 20 minutes.
