Proactively identify and build relationships with exceptional talent across the AI and insurance communities.
Support employee topics including onboarding, performance management, and development.
Build scalable recruiting and people processes and programs as Cara grows.
What You Have
3+ years of experience across recruiting, talent, or people roles, ideally in high-growth technology companies.
A track record of independently managing searches from talent mapping and sourcing through closing.

A highly proactive and organized approach with comfort operating in a fast-moving startup environment.
