Company Overview:
Function was founded with a singular focus: empower you to live 100 healthy years. We’re doing that by using the best available technology to make sure people don't suffer or die a preventable death. Function has been recognized as one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies of 2024 and is venture-backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z).
Hundreds of thousands of members have joined Function to take control of their health. We are growing our team and seeking out world-class talent that deeply believes in our mission to positively impact global health and have a relentless bias toward action and a growth mindset. Function fosters a collaborative and dynamic environment where, every day, we are building the future.
Role:
As the Director of Talent Acquisition, you will join the People team to lead the strategy and execution of hiring at Function Health during a pivotal phase of growth. You’ll partner cross-functionally with leaders across the business to deeply understand their talent needs, drive full-cycle recruiting strategies, and ensure every candidate touchpoint reflects our mission and values. From building scalable hiring processes to developing a compelling employer brand, you’ll be responsible for attracting diverse, high-impact talent that propels Function’s mission forward.
This is a high-ownership role for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, is energized by ambiguity, and is passionate about creating inclusive and purpose-driven teams. Applicants seeking an easy job, a big corporation, a slow pace, or predictable 9-to-5 hours need not apply. This role requires energy, talent, and a genuine passion for Function's mission.
Key Responsibilities:
- Build & Scale: Design and execute a scalable talent acquisition strategy to support rapid hiring across the organization.

- Data & Insights: Track and report on key talent metrics to inform strategic decisions and optimize pipeline performance.
- DEI Focus: Embed equity and inclusion into every stage of the recruiting lifecycle.
- Candidate Experience: Champion a thoughtful, white-glove candidate experience from first touch to offer acceptance.

- Recruiting experience: 8+ years of progressive experience, including 3+ years in leadership roles scaling talent teams in high-growth environments (preferably in tech or health tech).
