3d•$85,000 - $105,000•Onsite

About The Position

Fuel Cycle empowers leading organizations with agile research solutions that deliver decision-ready insights — fast, flexible, and fully integrated. As a market research disruptor, our AI-powered Insights Platform is built for speed, precision, and scale. With cutting-edge tools and seamless audience connectivity, we help brands ditch the guesswork and make smarter, customer-led decisions at lightning speed. Join a high-growth team where curiosity is valued, ownership is encouraged, and your work drives real-world impact. Whether you’re based at our Los Angeles HQ, New York City hub, working remotely across the U.S., or part of our global team in India, you’ll help shape the future of decision intelligence for some of the world’s most iconic brands. Fuel Cycle is seeking a Talent Acquisition Partner to own full-cycle recruiting and elevate our TA function with an AI-first mindset. At Fuel Cycle, AI isn't a trend — it's how we work. Every role brings AI into how they think, build, and deliver, and we envision our TA Partner as the orchestrator of that in recruiting: designing and managing intelligent workflows that run the operation, directing AI like a thinking partner rather than just using it as a tool. If you automate what others do manually, build pipelines before they're needed, and hold yourself to metrics, this is your role. You'll partner with hiring managers across LA, New York, and remote US and India. A meaningful portion of the roles you'll fill require candidates to commit to fully in-office, five days a week. That's the culture we're building, and you need to believe in it enough to sell it.
