About the role
<p class="p1">Emergent turns plain-language ideas into working software. We are one of the top 2 AI-native companies growing globally from India, and hiring the Sales and GTM team behind that growth is one of the most important jobs in the company. We are looking for a Talent Acquisition Lead to own it end to end.</p>
<p class="p2"><strong>The Role</strong></p>
<p class="p3">A senior advisory seat, not a coordination role. You will own Sales and GTM hiring end to end - advising&nbsp;leadership on the market, shaping every search, and closing the candidates who will build the revenue&nbsp;organisation. You will set the bar and the strategy, not just run the process.</p>
<p class="p2"><strong>What you'll do?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li class="p3">Advise Sales and GTM leadership on talent strategy: market mapping, role design and where to hunt.</li>
<li class="p3">Own your TAM - know where Sales/GTM talent sits, what moves it, and build pipelines before you need them.</li>
<li class="p3">Drive compensation strategy on offers: position, negotiate and close in a competitive market.</li>
<li class="p3">Run full-cycle searches from calibration to close, holding a high bar at real pace.</li>
<li class="p3">Use AI and modern tooling thoughtfully to spend your time on judgment and candidates, not admin.</li>
</ul>
<p class="p2"><strong>What you should have?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>12+ years of experience in Non-Tech Talent Acquisition, with deep, proven time hiring for Sales/GTM teams.</li>
<li>You've led a team — hired, managed and mentored recruiters, and owned the bar for how they work.</li>
<li>You've set up the process — built hiring systems, pipelines and playbooks from scratch, not just run someone else's.</li>
<li>You know your TAM cold — the companies, the talent pools and the market rates for Sales/GTM talent.</li>
<li>You bring working command of compensation strategies and can advise leaders and close candidates on offers.</li>
<li>You have thrived at a high-growth, fast-paced startup or company.</li>
<li>Tech-savvy and AI-first, resourceful, and guided by strong common sense.</li>
</ul>
<p class="p2"><strong>Why Join Us</strong></p>
<p class="p3">Advise, build and close at one of India's fastest-growing AI-native companies. Direct line to leadership, ownership&nbsp;of a critical charter, and hires whose impact you will see immediately.</p>
