Role
Who you are
- If you thrive on ownership, scale, and the adrenaline of building something that truly matters, we’d love to meet 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 <45 days, and achieve >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
- 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
- Start‑up athlete: Thrives in a fast‑paced, “build‑while‑we‑fly” environment—switching seamlessly between hands‑on sourcing and high‑level strategy
- 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
What the job involves
- Ketryx is hiring its first Hwea 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
- 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
Our take
With the rate of MedTech development, life-changing innovations can be slowed and even thwarted by complex FDA regulatory processes and compliance issues. Ketryx is a software company that helps MedTech solutions reach the market at a quicker pace, with its AI-powered platform that supports safe and compliant software development.
The company's Connected Lifecycle Management Platform uses artificial intelligence to remove the chances of human error in product development, allowing for rigorous and fast quality assurance through automation. It also helps companies manage the frequent software updates required to create MedTech products within an increasingly complex ecosystem.
With few competitors in the MedTech lifecycle management space, Ketryx is a step ahead with its several rounds of funding. The latest raise will be put into expanding access to its platform, with the hope that more and more MedTech software developers will want to outsource their safety and compliance management rather than create complex systems in-house.
