Talent Lead - Software

Fluidstack•Austin, TX

12d•$170,000 - $250,000

About The Position

Fluidstack is seeking a Talent Lead to own hiring strategy, execution, and tracking for the Software organization. This role involves building the annual delivery plan while remaining hands-on in closing critical searches. The Talent Lead will also lead and scale a talent acquisition function across manufacturing, supply chain, and industrial operations business units. This position requires partnering directly with senior hiring managers to forecast headcount, map talent needs, and align hiring strategy with business objectives. Additionally, the role involves building, mentoring, and managing a team of TA Partners, Sourcers, and Coordinators, providing clear direction and performance accountability. The Talent Lead will design hiring processes that balance speed with candidate quality, drive recruitment for hard-to-fill skilled trades, procurement, and supply chain roles to high offer-acceptance rates, and own the hiring metrics and recruiting infrastructure (ATS workflows, interview rubrics, calibration) that keep the funnel healthy.

Requirements

Built and run hiring for manufacturing, supply chain, or industrial operations orgs in a hyper-growth environment, ramping headcount without dropping the bar.
Lead a team and set strategy but stay in the work. Take the hard searches, model great execution, and don't delegate your way out of accountability.
Know the difference between competent and exceptional and won't compromise on it, for your team's hires or your own. Every hire raises the average.
Build for the year but can lead quick pivots. Anticipate hiring needs and map talent landscapes so your team never starts a critical role from zero.
Measure what matters (pipeline conversion, source quality, time-to-hire) and use it to manage performance and make decisions.
Give clear, honest feedback and build trust by being straight with your team, not easy on them.
