At Ketryx, we’re building the AI platform that lets medical‑device and pharmaceutical teams release life‑saving products in weeks instead of years. Our technology shreds compliance paperwork, erasing the old trade‑off between innovation and regulation.
In just two years, we serve 25million patients, power three of the world’s top five MedTech companies, and serve a quarter of the Fortune500 MedTech market—backed by Lightspeed and founded by the former Head of AI at Amgen and the CTO of WolframCloud. Life sciences is only our first chapter; next comes automotive, aerospace, energy—any sector where safety is non‑negotiable. Join us and help build the AI engine for safe innovation everywhere.
The Role Ketryx is hiring its first Head of Talent Acquisition—a builder‑leader who will report directly to our Finance and Ops Leader, with direct visibility to the entire leadership team, and power the next phase of our rocket‑ship growth. Backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners and already trusted by global life‑science giants, we’re one of Boston’s fastest‑growing B2B startups. You’ll architect the recruiting engine that will accelerate our 90% FTE growth rate annually across AI engineering, go‑to‑market, and G&A while standing up the processes, tech stack, and team that make Ketryx an iconic company in the making. If you thrive on ownership, scale, and the adrenaline of building something that truly matters, we’d love to meet you.
About you You’re a hands‑on builder who loves bouncing from sourcing an AI engineer in the morning to mapping next year’s headcount plan with the CEO in the afternoon. You thrive in the breakneck, purpose‑driven pace of a startup doubling in size annually and excel at creating structure from ambiguity. You’re confident in your ability to hit aggressive numbers, reduce time to fill to 90% offer acceptance rates with the right resources. If this sounds exciting to you and you’re driven to lead, build, and strategize all at once, let’s talk.
Responsibilities Own the company-wide hiring plan and adjust monthly/quarterly forecasts in partnership with finance and department leads.
Design and lead full-cycle recruitment efforts across technical, GTM, and G&A functions.
Hire, mentor, and lead a high-performing recruiting team, including sourcers, recruiters, and/or coordinators.
Build and refine scalable processes for sourcing, interviewing, and closing candidates.
Train and coach hiring managers and interviewers to improve outcomes and reduce bias.
Create resources (scorecards, rubrics, FAQs) to enable consistent and confident hiring decisions.
Partner with Marketing and People teams to improve employer branding and candidate messaging.
Requirements Skills Scale‑up recruiting expertise: 10+years of full‑cycle talent acquisition in high‑growth tech or life‑science companies, including at least 2+ years in a leadership role.
Process architect: Built scalable sourcing playbooks, structured interview rubrics, and bias‑mitigation initiatives adopted company‑wide.
Influence: Build strong relationships, leveraging trust, data, and market knowledge to ensure Ketryx is obsessive about hiring and constantly making great hires.
Strategic workforce planner: Comfortable turning top‑down growth goals into quarterly hiring plans, capacity models, and budget forecasts in partnership with Finance and the CEO.
Multi‑function hiring chops: Demonstrated success sourcing and closing engineers, quota‑carrying GTM talent, and G&A leaders with ≥90% offer‑acceptance rates.
Team‑building leadership: Hired, coached, and performance‑managed a recruiting squad (sourcers, coordinators, or full‑cycle recruiters) while hitting aggressive hiring targets.
2+ years recruiting agency experience preferred
Keywords: TA, MA, leader, recruiting, recruitment, sourcing, talent acquisition, Human Resources, people operations
