Director, Talent Acquisition

ABOUT THE ROLE

Fieldguide is entering a rapid stage of growth where talent acquisition isn't a support function, it's a competitive advantage. Partnering closely with the Senior Director, People, you will scale a global recruiting function that supports rapid, high-quality growth from 150 to 600+ employees across engineering, go-to-market, and every function in between.

This role is both strategic and deeply hands-on. You will design scalable hiring systems from the ground up, support building an employer brand that resonates in the most competitive talent markets in the world, and develop a recruiting team that raises the bar on every hire. You will shape how we hire, who we hire, and how our culture shows up throughout the candidate experience.

This is a defining leadership role for someone who has built durable recruiting infrastructure at a high-growth AI or SaaS company, knows what great looks like across the full hiring lifecycle, and is energized by the challenge of making Fieldguide the most sought-after employer in the space. It sits at the intersection of hiring strategy, operational excellence, and AI-native execution.
