[Hiring] Founding Director @Headstart Health

Role Description

We’re hiring our first People leader to help build the team behind Headstart’s next phase of growth. Working directly with our co-founders, you’ll own corporate recruiting and establish the People foundations that help a growing organization succeed.

• Recruiting will be your immediate priority, from critical leadership searches to hiring across our operating teams.
• You’ll also build onboarding, core HR processes, and manager support, with the opportunity to hire and lead your own team over time.

This role is for someone who excels at recruiting, brings broader People experience, and is ready to take ownership of the function.

Qualifications

• A track record of personally sourcing and closing strong corporate talent across functions and seniority levels.
• In-house experience at a startup or growing company, with meaningful responsibilities beyond recruiting.
• Sound judgment, high emotional intelligence, and the confidence to advise founders and hiring managers.
• Strong execution: you move quickly, manage competing priorities, and follow through.
• An appetite for building—setting direction, creating useful processes, and doing the work yourself.
• Experience at a recruiting or executive-search firm followed by an in-house role is especially relevant.
• Meaningful ownership: Build the People function and help shape the company’s team and culture.
• Direct founder partnership: Work closely with the co-founders on some of the company’s most consequential decisions.
• Momentum and room to grow: Join a rapidly expanding business with strong investor backing and significant provider demand.
• A mission you can see: Help more clinicians build sustainable practices and more families access autism care.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation & benefits: Compensation packages include competitive cash & equity.
• Health insurance reimbursements (medical, dental, and vision).
• Unlimited PTO.
