Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Launch Potato is hiring a Head of Talent to lead talent acquisition for its affiliate and performance marketing business. The role owns senior and hard-to-fill searches, builds recruiting pipelines and processes, and guides the Recruiting Ops Manager.

Responsibilities

• Our senior and hard-to-fill searches, from intake through close
• Pipeline built ahead of demand, so when a req opens you already know who to call
• The recruiting playbook: scorecard floors per req, pre-screen rubrics, interview design
• Direction and growth for our Recruiting Ops Manager
• The reporting layer leadership uses to see search status and forecast stalls

Skills

• Only apply if you have had success hiring for an affiliate/performance marketing business OR built performance marketing teams (paid media, yield, CRO, tech roles focused on metrics that make an impact i.e. ROAS, margin, EBITDA, etc.)
• Intimate knowledge of an affiliate or performance marketing business like ours, or a track record recruiting and building performance marketing teams: paid media, yield, CRO, and data science focused on the metrics that move the business
• Full-cycle ownership. You've run searches first touch to close, solo, across concurrent searches, and senior leaders trust your read because you give it to them clearly and concisely
• A sourcing engine you built yourself: inbound and outbound, passive included, with a repeatable framework and the tools and automation that moved your numbers
• Outreach that converts. You know how many people you contacted on your last hard search and how fast, not just how many you sourced
• Calls you can defend. When you don't have a read yet, or you got one wrong, you say so and go get the answer
• Built search reporting that let leadership see status at a glance and spot stalls early
• Designed scorecards, pre-screen rubrics, or interview loops that sped up panel decisions
• Recruited technical roles alongside engineering leaders
• Coached an ops or coordinator teammate into a bigger role

Benefits

• Remote, US (ET hours).
• Real ownership: run searches, make decisions, and own results without layers or handoffs.
• A Recruiting Ops Manager supports the backend, with helping that teammate grow as part of the role.
• Influence on hiring practices and the opportunity to build lasting systems.
• A modern, AI-forward stack, including Claude in the daily workflow and sourcing tools.
• Room to grow: start as an individual contributor leading the Recruiting Ops Manager, with an opportunity to manage in the future based on success.
