Today, we serve millions of users and thousands of businesses - from fast-growing startups to large enterprises like Deutsche Telekom and Meta. Our investors are some of the world's most prominent, including Andreessen Horowitz, ICONIQ Growth and Sequoia. We've raised $781M in funding and our last valuation was $22B - multiples of 11, always.\nWe have expanded from voice into three main platforms:\nElevenAgents enables businesses to deliver seamless and intelligent customer experiences, with the integrations, testing, monitoring, and reliability necessary to deploy voice and chat agents at scale.\n\nElevenCreative empowers creators and marketers to generate and edit speech, music, image, and video across 70+ languages.\n\nElevenAPI gives developers access to our leading AI audio foundational models.\n\nEverything we do is the result of the creativity and commitment of our team - builders doing the best work of their lives. We are researchers, engineers, and operators. IOI medalists and ex-founders. If you want to work hard and create lasting positive impact, we want to hear from you.\nHow we work\nHigh-velocity: Rapid experimentation, lean autonomous teams, and minimal bureaucracy.\n\nImpact not job titles: We don’t have job titles. Instead, it’s about the impact you have. No task is above or beneath you.\n\nAI first: We use AI to move faster with higher-quality results. We do this across the whole company-from engineering to growth to operations.\n\nExcellence everywhere: Everything we do should match the quality of our AI models.\n\nGlobal team: We prioritize your talent, not your location.\n\nWhat we offer\nInnovative culture: You’ll be part of a generational opportunity to define the trajectory of AI, surrounded by a team pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.\n\nGrowth paths: Joining ElevenLabs means joining a dynamic team with countless opportunities to drive impact - beyond your immediate role and responsibilities.\n\nLearning & development: ElevenLabs proactively supports professional development through an annual discretionary stipend.\n\nSocial travel: We also provide an annual discretionary stipend to meet up with colleagues each year, however you choose.\n\nAnnual team offsite: Each year, we bring your entire team together in a new location - past offsites have included Croatia, Italy and Cancún\n\nCo-working: If you’re not located near one of our main hubs, we offer a monthly co-working stipend.\n\nAbout the role\nElevenLabs has grown to over 1,000 in three years, and the rate of growth is not slowing down. As Talent Lead, you will be in charge of one of the most visible and impactful functions in the company: hundreds of hires a quarter across Research, Engineering, GTM and Operations, in one of the most competitive talent markets in history. You’ll move Talent from a high-volume recruiting engine to a strategic partner that tells leaders what is achievable, and you’ll rebuild how we hire using the same AI products we make.\nYou'll run the entire Talent team (currently 20 - 30 recruiters, sourcers, and talent operations) across verticals, setting the strategy, building the systems, and staying hands-on where it matters. You'll report directly to the Operations Lead and be a close partner to the People team. This isn't a pure executive role - we want someone who still loves the craft of recruiting and can model what great looks like for the team around them.\nThe right person has done this before at scale - at a company that grew fast and hired harder. Your team will look to you not just for direction, but as someone they can genuinely learn from. This will be an opportunity to shape the direction of Talent at ElevenLab; where we go, how we get there and who we get there with. If you want to shape the future of the Talent industry by building industry-defining playbooks using the latest technology and AI solutions, whilst building an expert team - this might be your best fit yet.\nIn this role you will:\nLead the full talent function across Research, GTM, Engineering & Product, and G&A hiring - setting strategy, managing team performance, building a recruiter capacity engine, and driving outcomes across all verticals.\n\nShape Talent Operations: ATS (Ashby) configuration, headcount tracking, hiring velocity metrics, and recruiter tooling - ensuring the function runs with precision and minimal friction.\n\nIdentify innovative ways of approaching Talent: design the next-gen Talent org structure, envision how Talent processes can be agentified and work with the team to build ElevenLabs products throughout.\n\nAct as a strategic partner to department heads and hiring managers, bringing market intelligence, pipeline health visibility, and honest counsel on what it takes to consistently win the best people in the market.\n\nBuild and maintain a strong talent brand through thoughtful candidate experience, community engagement, building a Talent events program and creative sourcing strategies.\n\nCoach and develop a team of recruiters, establishing clear standards for quality of hire, speed, and candidate experience.\n\nPartner with functional leaders across Research, Engineering, GTM, and Operations - acting as a trusted advisor who can challenge, align, and mobilize leaders around talent priorities and workforce strategy.\n\nWe’re moving quickly on this search. Applications close on 13 November 2026, and we’ll start reviewing right away, so we’d encourage you to apply early.\nRequirements\nProven track record leading large TA functions at high-growth companies, with direct experience filling hundreds of roles per year across multiple functions and geographies.\n\nHands-on recruiting instincts - comfortable being in the weeds on critical searches, not just managing from a distance.\n\nStrong people leader who builds, develops, and retains recruiting talent.\n\nSharp on process: able to design and iterate on systems, tooling, and workflows that make a team of 20-30 perform at a high level with AI.\n\nClose collaborator with People, Finance, and business leaders - comfortable operating at the intersection of headcount planning, compensation, and hiring strategy.\n\nHeld a high bar for quality of hire while hitting aggressive volume, with the metrics to show it.\n\nAdvised founders and executive suite on workforce planning, and changed a plan with your judgment.\n\nWorked with Finance, People and RevOps on headcount planning, capacity modelling, compensation and offer strategy.\n\nHas recruited across the Americas, EMEA and APAC and understands the differences between markets.\n\nLocation\nThis role is remote-first, so it can be executed from anywhere, with the ability to operate from New York or London strongly preferred. If you prefer, you can work from our offices in London, New York, San Francisco, and Warsaw.\nWe are an equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, disability or other legally protected statuses.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7166,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Professional development"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"},{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"},{"name":"New York","iso":null,"kind":"city"},{"name":"London","iso":null,"kind":"city"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Conversational AI","Speech & Audio AI","Generative Audio & Music"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-05T18:11:52Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"GB","licensed_sponsor":true,"adverts_offering_sponsorship_24m":0,"sanctioned_now":false,"evidence":"Licensed UK visa sponsor (Skilled Worker)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Skilled Worker","cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-11-10T11:34:35+00:00","sources":["UK Home Office: register of licensed sponsors (workers)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":56,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-10T06:52:35Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/elevenlabs-talent-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/elevenlabs-talent-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-10T11:59:15Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":27849,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-11T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":266},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=266"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Felevenlabs-talent-lead"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Felevenlabs-talent-lead"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Felevenlabs-talent-lead"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/elevenlabs-talent-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Felevenlabs-talent-lead"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3825037}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"elevenlabs.io","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3825037},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
