Director, Talent Acquisition

Job Overview

Rockbot is building a People & Talent organization capable of operating at the same high standard on both halves of the function. The People side already has that leadership in place; Talent Acquisition is the remaining gap.

Today, recruiting runs through a strong technical recruiter and a senior GTM recruiting consultant - a structure that has served us well, but wasn't built for permanent leadership, strategic senior-level search, or the operational maturity a high-performance company requires.

Job Description

What's missing is someone who can multiply the effectiveness of the people already here, modernize how we recruit, and raise the caliber of every hire Rockbot makes.

Rockbot is 100% remote - one of our biggest advantages, and honestly one of our hardest things to get right. Recruiting, coaching hiring managers, and building team culture all take more intention without an office to fall back on.

This role has to make remote hiring and remote leadership genuinely work, which takes real self-direction and energy, not just comfort with a laptop. Beyond building Talent Acquisition into a modern, high-performing function, this role has real room to grow.

As the operating rhythms mature and TA proves out, there's an opportunity to expand influence into broader People strategy alongside the Director, People and VP, People & Talent - not just execute within TA's lane.

What You'll Own: Build and continuously improve a best-in-class Talent Acquisition function - the playbooks, systems, and operating rhythms recruiting runs on day to day.

Bring AI and automation deep into the recruiting workflow - sourcing, screening, scheduling, candidate communication, and reporting - in partnership with the technical recruiter leading the Ashby rollout, so the new tooling actually changes how the team works, not just what system it logs into.

Key Responsibilities

• Rockbot is building a People & Talent organization capable of operating at the same high standard on both halves of the function.
• The People side already has that leadership in place; Talent Acquisition is the remaining gap.
• Today, recruiting runs through a strong technical recruiter and a senior GTM recruiting consultant - a structure that has served us well, but wasn't built for permanent leadership, strategic senior-level search, or the operational maturity a high-performance company requires.
• We're hiring a Director, Talent Acquisition (Head of TA): a player-coach leader who will build the playbooks, training, and operating discipline that turn recruiting into a modern, AI-powered function, develop our hiring managers, and personally run our highest-impact searches.
• This is fundamentally a leadership hire - Rockbot hires roughly 25–30 people a year, more than half of them strategic, senior-level roles, and that mix is what demands dedicated leadership, not just more recruiters.
• Recruiting, coaching hiring managers, and building team culture all take more intention without an office to fall back on.
• This role has to make remote hiring and remote leadership genuinely work, which takes real self-direction and energy, not just comfort with a laptop.
• Beyond building Talent Acquisition into a modern, high-performing function, this role has real room to grow.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• What We're Looking For: High judgment - required, not a nice-to-have.
• Experience across both technical and GTM/Sales recruiting - real depth in one with strong exposure to the other is fine; this is not a checklist hire.
• Executive search experience - you've personally led senior/executive-level searches, not just supported them.
• Rockbot would rather have exceptional recruiting judgment, demonstrated operational and AI-forward chops, and executive partnership skills than a candidate who checks every box.
• About Rockbot: Rockbot is an omnichannel media platform committed to elevating customer and employee experiences while fostering stronger connections in real-world spaces.
• Its mission is to enrich on-premise experiences with media technology, where every interaction is elevated and memorable.
• The successful candidate’s starting pay will be determined based on job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location, and market conditions.
• Final compensation will be determined based on a combination of factors, including experience, qualifications, role scope, and geographic market.
