Talent Acquisition Partner

Own Hiring Outcomes. Help Build Talent Acquisition From the Ground Up. Role: Talent Acquisition Partner Location: San Diego, CA 92101 (onsite at Symphony Towers) Compensation Range: $100,000 - $150,000 DOE At Luminize, we help brands win. As a top 5 Amazon seller in the US by volume, we're looking for top performers to grow with us. We're building our Talent Acquisition function now, and we're looking for a Talent Acquisition Partner to be one of its first senior hires. This isn't a high-volume desk. You'll own an assigned portfolio of searches end to end and be measured on hiring outcomes. You'll act as a true talent business partner to VPs and department heads: challenging requirements, designing the interview process, and closing offers, while directing a dedicated sourcing and screening team that includes offshore sourcers. Luminize and Coastal Trading Ventures (CTV) operate as two halves of the same business. Luminize is the front-end Amazon growth partner, headquartered in San Diego, CA, driving strategy, advertising, and brand management. CTV is the back-end physical engine in Fort Worth, TX, running warehousing, inventory, and fulfillment. Your portfolio will include roles for both, from corporate and executive hires in San Diego to operations and supply chain leaders in Fort Worth. This role is based onsite at our San Diego office, no travel is required.
