EBR Systems, Inc.•Santa Clara, CA

2d•$130,000 - $145,000•Remote

About The Position

At EBR Systems, we're not imagining the future of cardiac care. We're building it. We are the team behind the world's first FDA-approved leadless left ventricular endocardial pacing device for heart failure. It's a breakthrough that's redefining what's possible, and it's just the beginning. Based in Silicon Valley, we're advancing the WiSE System, a first-of-its-kind device in cardiac rhythm management. Your work here has a direct line to patients whose lives depend on what we build. We hire people who want to solve hard problems and who care about getting it right. We invest in our people as much as our technology. Expect a collaborative, transparent culture, real career growth in a fast-moving startup, competitive compensation, equity, comprehensive benefits, and generous PTO. If you want your work to matter, EBR is where you belong. The Opportunity We are looking for a Talent Acquisition & Operations Lead who moves fast, adapts quickly, and aligns recruiting with business outcomes. In this newly created role, you will manage full-cycle recruiting across the organization, with a primary focus on our commercial and technical teams. To succeed, you should have a commercial mindset and understand that an open role is a business problem - and treat it that way. You will work closely with hiring managers from initial intake to the final offer. As we scale, you will also help us build our employer brand and find ways to increase our visibility so top talent actively seeks us out.

Requirements

3–5+ years of full-cycle recruiting within medical device or life sciences; prior experience in cardiac rhythm management, structural heart, or an adjacent cardiovascular therapy strongly preferred.
Proven ability to recruit for field-based medtech sales and clinical/technical roles
Commercial Mindset: You understand what drives performance in a device company and hire through that lens across every function.
Collaboration: Partnership-first approach with hiring managers and leadership: proactive, collaborative, and direct from intake to close.
Sourcing Skills: Strong direct-sourcing capability using LinkedIn Recruiter and other talent tools; you build pipelines and pursue passive candidates, not just manage inbound.
Agency Management: Experience managing agency relationships across multiple sourcing channels; knows when to use external leverage and how to hold partners accountable.
Metrics Discipline: You track time-to-fill, pipeline coverage, and offer acceptance without being asked, and use data to advise the business, not just report to it.
Independence: Remote-capable, self-directed, and comfortable operating across a geographically distributed hiring landscape.
