Talent Lead - Manufacturing & Supply Chain
About Fluidstack
We exist to make humanity more free. For most of human history, you farmed or you starved. Technology gave people more time for the things they wanted to do, instead of things they had to do. Powerful AI will be the biggest lever for human choice we've ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who don't share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it.
We're singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. We acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them - with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are our key differentiators. Come be a part of building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI.
We hire people who care deeply about this problem space. If that is you, please apply!
How We Operate
Be a barrel. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, take on scope without being asked, no permission required to operate outside your core role.
Insane urgency. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.
Reason from first principles. Challenge every assumption. Zero analogy thinking, no egos, the best idea wins.
Love of the game. The frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward.
Build something that actually matters. If you're going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world.
The Talent Acquisition Team
Examples of key problems the team is working on
Deploy AI across the entire funnel. Use the latest models in every part of talent ops to find the best people in the world faster than any team has before. You won't bolt AI onto old processes; you'll rebuild recruiting around it.
Treat talent as the critical path. Every role we can't fill slows the whole company down. We need to figure out how to move faster than everyone else in market without ever dropping the bar; one wrong hire costs more than a slow one.
Build a brand the best want to join. Make Fluidstack a name top talent seeks out, not one we have to chase. You'll shape how the world's best engineers and operators hear about us, and why they say yes.
Role Scope
Own hiring strategy, execution, and tracking for Fluidstack's Manufacturing and Supply Chain org, building the annual delivery plan while staying hands-on closing critical searches yourself.

Partner directly with senior hiring managers to forecast headcount, map talent needs, and align hiring strategy to business objectives.
Build, mentor, and manage a team of TA Partners, Sourcers, and Coordinators with clear direction and performance accountability.

What We're Looking For
The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly,tell us where you would.
You've built and run hiring for manufacturing, supply chain, or industrial operations orgs in a hyper-growth environment, ramping headcount without dropping the bar.
You lead a team and set strategy but stay in the work. You take the hard searches, model great execution, and don't delegate your way out of accountability.
You know the difference between competent and exceptional and won't compromise on it, for your team's hires or your own. Every hire raises the average.
You build for the year but can lead quick pivots. You anticipate hiring needs and map talent landscapes so your team never starts a critical role from zero.
You measure what matters (pipeline conversion, source quality, time-to-hire) and use it to manage performance and make decisions.
You give clear, honest feedback and build trust by being straight with your team, not easy on them.
Bonus: Recruiting in manufacturing, industrial operations, or supply chain markets. Scaling a TA function through rapid headcount growth. Immigration and global mobility coordination. Employer brand building.
