About AIUC

Our mission is to underwrite superintelligence. We red-team, certify, and insure agents - working with AI category leaders like ElevenLabs, Lovable, Harvey, UiPath, and Fin.

Soon, agents will take on critical work in hospitals, banks and governments. This could create abundance - or go terribly wrong. History teaches us that standards and insurance are capitalism’s best tools for making risk legible and shaping incentives.

We’ve built the gold standard for agent security & reliability, AIUC-1, with 100+ CISOs from the Fortune 1000. Our team comes from Anthropic, McKinsey, METR, Palantir, Amazon - 50% are previous founders. We've raised $55m from Ribbit, First Harmonic, and Nat Friedman. Read more here, here, and here.

The Role

We are growing fast and are about to expand the team with multiple senior roles, across marketing, GTM, operations, and product all at once. We are looking for a Talent Lead to own the full life cycle for a broad range of roles without dropping quality or candidate experience.

You'll be a critical strategic partner to the founding team, shaping how we think about where to find talent, what good looks like for each profile, and how we maintain AIUC's reputation as an employer as we scale at this pace.

This is a novel opportunity, and in practice you will:

• Own the full recruiting function across technical and non-technical roles; define the process, set the standard, and build the employer brand that establishes AIUC as a destination for exceptional AI talent.

• Partner directly with the founders to define what great looks like at every level, develop hiring strategy from the ground up, and maintain a clear view of where the best AI talent is today and where it is moving.

• Design and deliver a candidate experience that is genuinely world-class; high-touch, transparent, and one that turns candidates into champions for AIUC, regardless of outcome.

• Own the talent intelligence function; stay current on market insights, compensation benchmarks, and hiring analytics, and translate that knowledge into sharper decisions, stronger patterns, and a process that meaningfully improves over time.

• Come up with strategies to engage with top talent well before a role opens; design and execute events, curated dinners, and fellowship programs that introduce AIUC to exceptional people.

What we're looking for

You've done this before in a fast-moving environment. You know what it feels like to run multiple senior searches simultaneously and still give each one proper attention. To be successful, we think you have:

• 5 to 7 years of full-cycle recruiting experience at early-stage start ups, frontier AI labs, or environments with a famously high bar. Maintaining a proven track record across GTM, senior engineering, and operators from consulting or VC backgrounds.

• Exceptional communication skills; You can hold a real conversation about AI and the mission, articulating what AIUC is building clearly enough to earn trust from researchers, engineers, operators, and the C-suite alike.

• Proven ability to manage high volumes and complex searches simultaneously without letting quality or candidate experience slip.

• A true builder's mindset; Have scaled an organization from the early days, joining when the team was small, building the recruiting function and processes from the ground up, and growing the people around you. The thought of doing it again doesn't intimidate you- it genuinely excites you.

Nice to have

• You have worked alongside high-growth SaaS sales organizations, come from a consulting background, or bring meaningful exposure to international markets.

• You have integrated AI into your recruiting workflows or have experimented with agents and automation tools to make your process faster and smarter.

Compensation & Perks

• Competitive annual salary

• Equity (significant part of total compensation)

• Health, dental and vision insurance for you and your dependents

• Visa sponsorship and relocation stipend to bring you to SF, if needed

• Daily meals
