Counsel Health•Boston, MA

3d•Hybrid

About The Position

Counsel's mission is to multiply the world's healthcare capacity. We believe in a future in which every person has a personalized, AI-enabled doctor always in their pocket. To accomplish this, we’re building the first fully-vertical, AI-native medical group from the ground up. We’ve redesigned the entire clinical stack with custom AI tools that make our in-house physicians 10x faster and smarter. We are looking for a Senior Talent Partner who lives and breathes Engineering hiring. You know the difference between a great engineer and a good one, and you care deeply about getting that call right. You bring that same rigor to Product, with enough depth to recognize strong product thinking when you see it. This is a role for someone who moves fast and holds a high bar at the same time. You've built pipelines, closed hard searches, and pushed back on mediocre hires. You believe talent density is a strategy, and you want to be somewhere the stakes are real. You're genuinely excited by what Counsel is building at the intersection of AI and healthcare. That excitement makes you a better partner to hiring managers, a better evaluator of candidates, and more invested in getting every hire right. This role is Boston-based. We're committed to building a Boston office, and we want someone who wants to be part of that from the start.

Requirements

Strong command of Ashby ATS, with a real focus on data integrity and analytics
A track record of closing senior and niche roles through outbound sourcing, not just inbound
The kind of relationship with hiring teams where they actually want your opinion, not just your pipeline update
A genuine obsession with talent density and quality: you've raised bars, pushed back on mediocre hires, and built teams that made a real difference
