Founding Talent Partner (GTM), US

Sona•New York, NY

4d•$150,000 - $180,000•Hybrid

About The Position

As our founding US teams in New York and Austin begin to scale, we're hiring a Talent Partner to build out the US hiring function. You'll be the first dedicated Talent hire in the region, owning how we attract and assess US talent and laying the foundation for our entire US operation. This role reports into the Head of Talent, based in the UK. You'll work closely with our CEO, who has relocated to the US to help build our new region on the ground, our Head of North America Sales, and other key leaders based in our NY office. Our US story is early but proven: we've got customers signed, leadership in place, and real momentum, and now it needs scaling. That means high ownership and the freedom to build, but it also means ambiguity, a fast pace, and priorities that shift as the business moves. This role isn't for everyone. If you need a fixed playbook and a settled environment, it won't suit. If building one from scratch is the part that excites you, you'll thrive here.

Requirements

An experienced full-lifecycle recruiter, able to support and own end-to-end hiring independently in a high-ambiguity environment
A specialist in hiring go-to-market talent into high-bar, fast-moving organisations, who understands what separates a strong hire from an average one
A strong sourcer, for whom building an outbound pipeline is a standard part of their rhythm
Data-driven and comfortable owning a funnel, using the numbers to troubleshoot, advise, and forecast
An advanced user of AI tools to improve the speed, efficiency, and quality of hiring
Experience in VC-backed enterprise AI/SaaS preferred

Responsibilities

Own hiring for US-based roles end to end, across our New York and Austin offices, from kickoff and briefing through sourcing, interviewing, and offer to signed contract
Hire primarily go-to-market roles (sales, marketing), with some Customer and other roles as the team grows
Lay the foundations of the US talent and people function as we scale: employer brand, process, ways of working, and ad-hoc people operations
Innovate using AI to improve the speed and quality of hiring at Sona
