Compensation: $175,000 - $200,000

Why This Role, Now

CodePath is hiring across product, engineering, growth, curriculum, and revenue at the same time, and the quality of every one of those hires runs through Talent Acquisition. We have proven we can generate demand. Our next challenge is building a hiring engine that reliably turns that demand into great hires: a clear bar at every stage, enough qualified candidates in every pipeline, and a team equipped to move quickly without lowering the standard.

This is the senior leader who owns that engine. You will define CodePath's talent acquisition strategy, build and scale the team that runs it, and sit at the table with our senior leadership on the decisions that shape the company. You will report to the Head of People and own recruiting outcomes across the organization.

What You Will Own

• The talent acquisition strategy. You set the vision for how CodePath attracts, evaluates, and hires talent, and you translate the company's growth plans into a workforce and hiring plan the organization can execute against.
• Pipeline and throughput at scale. You are accountable for the volume and quality of candidates across every open role. Every search reaches a strong slate of finalists, sourced and inbound work together, and no role stalls for lack of qualified candidates.
• Build a team that scales. You will grow talent acquisition from a lean team into a function built for scale. You decide the shape of the org, hire and develop the recruiters, sourcers, and managers who run day-to-day recruiting, and size capacity to the hiring load rather than react to it. You set the operating rhythm that keeps hiring on track as the team grows.
• The hiring system. You own the process end to end: the rubrics, the interview stages, the scorecards, and the gates that decide who advances. You make sure every stage produces real signal, so that decisions are trustworthy before we ask them to be fast.
• Employer brand and market presence. You own how CodePath shows up to candidates. You build the brand and the always-on talent pools that bring strong people to us, so the function does not run on outbound alone.
• The executive partnership and the numbers. You partner directly with the senior leadership team and hiring managers on role definition, calibration, and decisions. You own the recruiting narrative to executives and the board, pairing the numbers with the action being taken.
