THE ROLE We're hiring an Executive Recruiter to own leadership hiring across Baseten — partnering directly with our CEO, executive team, and functional leaders to bring in the VP and C-suite talent that will define how we scale. Leadership hires are among the highest-leverage decisions a company makes, and at this stage of growth, we need someone who can operate as a true strategic partner — not just a search executor. You'll shape how we define and evaluate leadership, build rigorous and confidential search processes from scratch, and close exceptional candidates who could work anywhere. This is a senior individual contributor role with outsized company impact. You'll reduce our dependence on external search firms, build Baseten's internal executive recruiting capability, and set the standard for how leadership hiring works here. RESPONSIBILITIES - Own end-to-end executive searches. Lead VP- and C-suite hiring across Engineering, GTM, Finance, Product, and Operations — from intake and role scoping through offer close. You'll run 6–10 active searches at any given time with full accountability for outcomes. - Partner directly with the CEO and executive team. Serve as the primary recruiting advisor for our most critical hires — shaping role definitions, structuring scorecards, advising on leveling, and driving alignment across decision-makers
