This is a rare opportunity to join a breakout food brand at a pivotal stage of growth. Led by CEO Peter Rahal, Cofounder and Former CEO of RXBAR, David is working to become the leading consumer food brand focused on high-protein foods in North America and beyond.

**Role & Responsibilities:**

We're looking for a Talent Strategist to help build the team that's building David. You'll own full-cycle hiring across all teams and business units, partnering closely with hiring leaders and the Director of People to identify, attract, and hire exceptional talent.

As a Talent Strategist, you'll do far more than fill open roles - you'll shape hiring strategy, advise leaders on talent decisions, and deliver an exceptional candidate experience that reflects our brand. You'll combine market insight, relationship-building, and strong execution to help us hire the people who will define David's next chapter. In this role you may:

-   Own end-to-end hiring across multiple functions, from talent strategy and sourcing through offer negotiation and close.
-   Partner with hiring managers to define ideal candidate profiles, hiring strategies, and interview processes.
-   Serve as a trusted advisor to leaders, providing market insights, talent intelligence, and guidance throughout the hiring process.
-   Identify and engage exceptional talent through proactive sourcing, referrals, networking, and creative outreach strategies.
-   Lead candidate evaluation, ensuring a consistently high bar for capability, values alignment, and long-term potential.
-   Create a candidate experience that is fast, thoughtful, transparent, and distinctly human.
-   Own recruiting operations, including pipeline management, interview coordination, ATS hygiene, and recruiting analytics.
-   Craft compelling job descriptions and recruiting messaging that authentically represent the David brand.
-   Build and manage relationships with external recruiting partners and other strategic talent channels.
-   Continuously improve hiring processes, interview quality, and employer brand as we scale.
-   Support broader People initiatives that strengthen how we attract, hire, and retain exceptional talent.

## Requirements

-   1+ year of experience in recruiting, talent acquisition, or a fast-paced, high-growth environment (e.g., startup, consulting, or agency).
-   Bachelor's degree in Psychology, Organizational Psychology, Human Resources, Business, or a related field preferred.
-   Strong attention to detail, organization, and follow-through.
-   Excellent communication skills with a warm, professional, and relationship-driven approach.
-   Ability to manage multiple searches and competing priorities with speed, thoughtfulness, and precision.
-   Strong curiosity about people, talent assessment, and what makes individuals and teams successful.
-   Excitement about building exceptional teams in a fast-paced, in-person CPG environment with ambitious growth goals.

## Benefits

-   This is a full-time, in-office role based in New York City. We work onsite five days a week — when the culture fits, it is fun to be in the office together.
-   Salary: $90K - $130K per year, inclusive of cash bonus based on attainment of company targets.
