About the Role
We are looking for a Senior Talent Acquisition Manager to build and own Baselayer’s hiring engine end-to-end.

You will partner closely with leadership to define hiring strategy, attract top-tier talent, and consistently close high-quality candidates.
While you may support light people operations or office-related needs, success in this role is measured by hiring outcomes, speed, and talent quality.
You will have meaningful ownership over how Baselayer identifies, engages, and hires exceptional talent as we scale.

- Build repeatable, scalable recruiting processes as the company grows
Talent Strategy & Hiring Operations
- Develop sourcing strategies for hard-to-fill and high-priority roles
- Advise leadership on market trends, compensation, and talent availability
- Identify bottlenecks in the hiring process and implement improvements
- Help define and evolve Baselayer’s employer brand
People Ops & Office (Secondary / Nice-to-Have)
- Support onboarding and employee lifecycle processes as needed
- Serve as a light point of contact for employee questions
- Assist with maintaining a functional and organized NYC office environment
- Coordinate occasional in-office logistics or team events
