Talent Acquisition & People Partner (AI Engineering, Product, GTM), New York / New Jersey

About the Role:

The problem you'd be solving

We build AI systems that enterprises run their business on. Production systems inside banks, insurers, and health systems, where our engineers embed with the client, learn the work, and own the outcome. We call them Forward Deployed Engineers and Forward Deployed Executives. These people hold design conversations with a Chief Data Officer on Tuesday and ship to production next Monday. 

We are hiring a People & Talent Partner to help us scale our FDE/FDX, Product, and GTM teams. Five open reqs at a time, none of them generic. We would rather you run five properly than twenty badly. 

Beyond filling roles, you will own the talent community strategy around Provectus, and you will build the people-operations presence for our US team locally — be the person our US colleagues come to first. 

Location: Hybrid, New York: 2-3 days onsite.

Type: Full-time (W2).

What You'll Do:

Recruiting:

 Full-cycle hiring across the US for Forward Deployed Engineers (software, AI/ML, architects, leads), Forward Deployed Executives, Product Owners, and Business Development Managers. Intake to offer:

 Partnership with the hiring managers. You'll run calibration with them and bring market data when a scorecard doesn't match what exists.

 Architect and execute Provectus's talent community strategy in the US. Meetups, workshops, hackathons, university programs, and the AI/ML communities. You don't need to have run events before. You need to want to help with that, and there's a budget and support from marketing when you do.

 US hiring strategy. Talent market intelligence, compensation benchmarking, and how we position Provectus against the companies competing for the same engineers.

People operations for the US team. You'll be the on-the-ground people partner for our US-based colleagues, working with the Head of People Operations:

Onboarding of US hires.

First point of contact for US employees on benefits, time off, policies, and day-to-day people questions.

Support for the performance review cycle for US-based staff: scheduling, collecting feedback, tracking outcomes.

Team engagement and onsite days — the rhythm that makes a hybrid New York team feel like a team.

What's the split between Recruiting and HR? 70/30

What You'll Bring:

4+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience in a fast-paced technical environment, ideally at an AI, cloud, or consulting firm

Proven track record of sourcing and hiring senior technical profiles — AI/ML engineers, software engineers, architects, or consulting leaders

Demonstrates personal AI adoption — uses AI tools as part of their recruiting workflow, not just aware of them

Exposure to HR generalist or people-operations work — onboarding, benefits, employee relations — or a clear appetite to build it. You don't need to have been an HRBP. 

Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; comfortable partnering with C-level and senior technical leadership

Highly organized, self-directed, and comfortable with ambiguity in a distributed, global team

Commitment to Provectus's core values: Obsession, Ownership, Transparency, and Partnership

Based in the New York / New Jersey area and able to be onsite [2-3] days a week

Nice to have:

Experience building talent community: events, meetups, professional networks, or university programs

Familiarity with US benefits administration, onboarding, and experience with an HRIS.

Where this goes: This is a growing US function. The person who does this well takes on more of the community mandate, more senior searches, a deeper people-partner role as the US team grows, and a path toward owning the US talent function. We'll talk about that trajectory.

What We Offer:

Direct impact on Provectus's growth in the US market with direct visibility to leadership.

Access to the Provectus Learning Hub, Claude Code certification support

Collaborative culture that rewards ownership, curiosity, and continuous learning

Full-time W2 model.

Base $150k- 170k. Final offer reflects experience, skills, and market data.

Health, vision, dental, disability, and life insurance; 401(k) plan; unlimited vacation.
