About The Position

We are the better way to work in finance. As private equity’s value creation partner, we sit at the heart of PE—where sponsors and CFOs meet. Through financial consulting rooted in data, technology, and AI, we help clients drive value—supporting the office of the CFO to drive end-to-end value creation. If you crave challenging work and are looking to grow, come solve complex issues alongside 1,400+ finance & technology experts in a supportive, collaborative environment. Backed by premier private equity firms and headquartered in New York with 10 offices around the globe, we are a high-growth, entrepreneurial firm looking for people who want to be part of building something great. Come make your mark. The Role We’re looking for a Technical Recruiter who can own full-cycle hiring for Accordion’s CFO Technology, and Data, Analytics & AI practices. This is not a generalist recruiting seat. The right person has direct experience hiring AI/ML engineers, data scientists, and technical product managers in a competitive market. They know what a strong GitHub profile looks like, they can tell the difference between a candidate who uses AI tools daily and one who lists them as keywords, and they’re comfortable engaging deeply technical hiring managers as a true partner. This role can be based in any of our US office locations and is a hybrid role with the flexibility to work remotely 2 days a week, blending the best of both worlds for efficiency and collaboration. Ideal candidates should be local to the desired locations. This position is not eligible for immigration sponsorship.
