About Throne
Throne is a fast growing Series C startup transforming local communities by delivering clean, safe, accessible restrooms to cities, transit agencies, and public spaces. With flagship customers in Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, Ann Arbor, and Washington DC, and recent launches in New York City, Atlanta, and Seattle, we're rapidly scaling into new markets in 2027 and beyond.
We recognize an unspoken problem: that better bathroom accommodations are sorely needed in most cities. Public and retail bathrooms are neither positioned to meet demand, nor incentivized to provide the quality experience people deserve.
Our mission is to provide peace of mind to the millions of people who set out on an adventure on any given day. That adventure may be big or small. It may involve taking your toddler to the park, driving a stranger to the airport, running a half marathon, or exploring a new city for the first time.
About the Job
We are looking for a full-time Head of Talent Acquisition to join our team, reporting to the Head of People Operations. As Throne's first dedicated Talent Acquisition hire, you will be responsible for building and running our hiring engine for professional and managerial roles across engineering, product, sales, and corporate functions. You will partner closely with Finance, People Operations, our Founders and executive team, and hiring managers to connect hiring decisions to their tangible impact. While this role is being hired as an individual contributor given the nimble nature of our team, as Throne's business needs grow, you may have the opportunity to build out a team to further support specialized recruiting efforts, high-volume field staffing, and other disciplines.
This role can be performed remotely within the United States, with flexibility expected to work across timezones to support hiring teams. Minimal domestic travel (less than 10%) will be required.
The base salary range for this position is $150,000 - $190,000. This role is also eligible for a comprehensive benefits package, including equity.
Primary Responsibilities:
- Full-cycle recruiting for professional roles: Own the full-cycle recruiting for central roles across engineering, product, sales, and corporate functions, from intake and sourcing through offer and close. As the first internal talent acquisition hire, you will design the entire hiring process: sourcing strategy, structured interviews and scorecards, interviewer training for hiring managers, offer construction and approvals within Throne's pay bands, and a candidate experience we are proud of. You will select and implement a scalable Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and use AI tooling (with unlimited Claude access) to automate scheduling, sourcing, and reporting from day one. If you are looking to maintain a well-established playbook, it does not exist, and this is not the right position for you.
- Partner with the business: Deeply understand the business by working with Finance, People Operations, Founders, and managers across every discipline. You will co-own the annual hiring plan with Finance and People Operations, including req prioritization and an honest view of whether the plan can be delivered with current resourcing. You will own recruiting metrics (time to fill, pipeline health, offer acceptance, candidate experience) and report monthly to the Founders and Finance. You will be expected to be commercially fluent in Throne's business, and will be fully supported in that endeavor.
- Optimize field hiring: While not serving as a field recruiter, you will support our Operations and Production Managers to reduce time to fill and cost to hire in high-volume recruiting efforts. This will look like enabling them with easy to implement templates and hiring guides, tooling, and coaching to improve hiring practices.
- Leadership hiring: Run senior and executive searches (VP+ and GM level) as Throne expands into new markets, including selecting and managing retained search firms and agencies where needed. Own the recruiting budget and vendor relationships.
Minimum Qualifications:
- 8+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, especially for professional and managerial roles
- Ability to partner closely with finance and business leaders to connect hiring plans to business outcomes
- Exceptional communication and influencing skills, with the ability to coach and align hiring managers at every level in the organization
- Proven track record of recruiting for a variety of positions, including technical roles, sales, and corporate
- Experience selecting and implementing an ATS, with no particular preference given to one system
- Strong knowledge of compliant hiring practices across multiple states, including but not limited to CA, WA, and NY
- Comfortable working both strategically and hands-on in a fast-paced, evolving environment Can-do attitude and passion for Throne's mission - You
- toilets!
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience building or scaling a talent acquisition function, ideally as an early or first TA leader at a high-growth company
- Experience recruiting for government contractors or public-sector-facing businesses
- Experience working with visa sponsorship, such as coordinating with immigration counsel on H-1B, O-1, L-1B, and PERM cases
- Experience recruiting for hardware, IoT, or operations-heavy businesses
Benefits:
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance, with medical options that are 100% employer-paid
- Equity for all US-based positions, so you share in Throne's growth
- Daily access to earned wages
- 401(k) plan
- Paid time off that grows with tenure, in addition to paid sick time and paid parental leave
- Life insurance, AD&D coverage, and short and long-term disability insurance
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
Benefits offered to full-time and part-time employees may vary by State.

Tips for Your Head Of Talent Job Search
Quantify your hiring pipeline impact
Head of talent candidates stand out when they show concrete hiring outcomes: time-to-fill improvements, offer acceptance rates, or reductions in agency spend. Pull these numbers from your ATS reporting before you update your resume.
Tailor your resume to company growth stage
A Series B startup wants a builder who can create hiring infrastructure from scratch. A Fortune 500 wants a leader who manages vendor relationships and headcount planning at scale. Match the language on your resume to whichever stage you're targeting.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists head of talent openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Flag your experience with workforce planning
Many head of talent postings now require headcount modeling and collaboration with finance on hiring budgets. If you've done this work, call it out explicitly in your resume and cover letter using the same language hiring managers use in their job descriptions.
Prepare a talent strategy case study
Interviewers at the head of talent level often ask you to walk through a problem you diagnosed and solved across a full hiring cycle. Prepare one detailed example that covers sourcing strategy, team structure decisions, and the measurable outcome.
Negotiate scope before you negotiate compensation
Before discussing offer details, clarify the reporting structure, headcount on the talent team, and whether you own employer branding and HR operations or just recruiting. Ambiguity in scope is the most common source of dissatisfaction in head of talent roles.
Head Of Talent Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most head of talents?
The companies hiring the most head of talents right now include Ramp, Commure, and HUD, with the largest share of openings in California, New York, and Texas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Technology and healthcare organizations consistently drive the highest volume of openings at this level.
How many head of talent jobs are remote?
About 78% of head of talent openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, making it one of the more flexible senior people roles available. Employer branding, talent operations, and sourcing strategy work tends to be most amenable to remote arrangements, while roles tied closely to on-site culture or executive presence often require in-office availability.
How do you become a head of talent?
Most head of talent roles are reached by progressing through recruiting or HR generalist positions, then moving into a team lead or talent manager role where you own hiring strategy across a business unit. From there, demonstrating that you can build programs, manage vendor relationships, and influence senior leadership decisions positions you for the head-level title. Exposure to workforce planning and employer branding work accelerates that path.
Can you get a head of talent job with limited experience?
Breaking into a head of talent role without extensive leadership experience is difficult at larger organizations, but early-stage startups regularly hire strong senior recruiters into the title when there is no existing people function. If you're making that leap, focus your application on companies building their talent infrastructure for the first time, and emphasize any work you've done owning a full hiring cycle end-to-end rather than executing within someone else's process.
What does the head of talent interview process look like?
The process typically begins with a recruiter screen, followed by a conversation with the CHRO or a C-suite hiring sponsor. From there, most processes include a talent strategy presentation where you diagnose a hypothetical or real hiring challenge and propose a solution. Final rounds often involve cross-functional interviews with engineering, product, or finance leaders whose teams you would support, since stakeholder alignment is central to the role.
