  • Assist with offer development and compensation discussions as appropriate.
  • Complete or coordinate background checks and other required pre-employment processes.
  • Partner with external recruiting vendors and sourcing resources when needed.
  • Build strong, long-term relationships with HR partners and hiring teams.

Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of recruiting experience within biotechnology, pharmaceutical, or life sciences environments.
  • Experience recruiting for clinical, scientific, drug development, or related specialized functions.
  • Oncology recruiting experience is highly preferred.
  • Proven experience recruiting Manager through Director-level professionals.
  • Strong full-cycle recruiting background.
  • Ability to successfully manage multiple complex requisitions simultaneously.
  • Corporate/in-house recruiting experience strongly preferred.
  • Agency recruiters may be considered if they can demonstrate strategic hiring-manager partnership and consultative recruiting experience.
  • Bachelor's degree required; a degree in a scientific or life sciences field is a plus.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
  • Strong organizational skills and ability to prioritize competing deadlines.
  • Comfortable working with senior executives, scientific leaders, and other high-level stakeholders.

Additional Details:

  • This position is designed for a strategic recruiter who can independently drive searches and provide thoughtful guidance to hiring teams.
  • The successful candidate should be comfortable asking questions, challenging assumptions professionally, and recommending adjustments when appropriate.
  • Strong relationship management and communication skills are essential.
  • The team values consistency and meaningful tenure in previous positions.
  • Candidates with numerous short-term positions may not align with the team's preference for stability.
  • No direct supervisory responsibilities.
  • Interview process consists of two stages: a virtual interview with the hiring manager followed by an onsite panel interview.
  • Contract is expected to last 12 months, with potential for extension and/or future conversion based on business needs.

Perks:

  • Opportunity to work within the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry.
  • Exposure to specialized clinical and scientific recruiting.
  • Direct partnership with experienced hiring leaders.
