Head of Talent Acquisition

About the Company

EcomBusiness.com is a multi-vertical digital ecosystem operating across e-commerce brand management, media production, an education and coaching platform, and a technical lab. We work with high-growth DTC brands, manage internal creative operations, and train the next generation of e-commerce operators. We are scaling fast across all verticals simultaneously and are now building the team infrastructure to support that growth.

About the Role

This is not a recruiter role. We are not looking for someone to post jobs and wait for applications.

We need someone who looks at our organization, understands where the gaps are, and tells us with conviction what to build first and why.

The Head of Talent Acquisition will own the entire talent function from the ground up. That means auditing our org chart, building a phased hiring roadmap across five verticals, designing role-specific vetting systems, headhunting passive senior talent, and coordinating onboarding so the people we bring in actually stick. You will work directly with leadership and be accountable for the quality, speed, and sequencing of every hire.

There is no playbook waiting for you. You will build it.

What You'll Own

Hiring Roadmap & Org Strategy

• Audit the current org across Media, EcomBusiness, EcomBrands, EcomUniversity, and EcomLab to identify critical hiring dependencies
• Build a phased, sequenced hiring roadmap. Leadership-first, aligned to 2026 growth milestones
• Identify the lead domino in each department: the hire that unblocks everything below it
• Brief leadership weekly on pipeline status, market conditions, salary benchmarks, and bottlenecks

Vetting System Design

• Design role-specific assessments for every position: test tasks, scorecard rubrics, structured interview flows
• Ensure vetting tests for outcomes and leadership ability, not just past experience or portfolio
• Build and manage a centralized candidate tracking system in ClickUp
• If our current vetting process is weak, you fix it, unprompted

Executive Search & Headhunting

• Conduct direct outreach to passive, senior-level talent who are not actively looking
• Source across non-traditional channels: niche communities, competitor talent pools, industry events
• Craft personalized outreach that speaks to opportunity and growth, not just a job listing

Onboarding & Retention

• Coordinate with department leads to ensure every new hire transitions from candidate to productive team member
• Own the first 30 days of every senior hire: structured check-ins, expectation setting, performance baselines
• Treat churn as a failure of the hiring process, not just a performance issue

Scope of Hiring

You will be responsible for filling roles across five verticals. Current open positions include:

Media & Content: Director of Media, Creative Director, Video Editor, Graphic Designer, Thumbnail Designer

EcomBusiness: Marketing Manager, Coach x2, Customer Success, Sales Setters

EcomBrands: Operations Director, Operations Assistant, Head of Customer Support, CS Representatives x2, Fulfillment Lead (US-based)

EcomUniversity: Community Operators and Subject Matter Expert Coaches across Creative Strategy, CRO, Content Creation, Media Buying, Systems & AI, and Operations & Leadership

EcomLab & EcomBounty: Head of UGC, UGC Manager, Landing Page Specialist, Retention Specialist, Email Marketer, Data Analyst, Dev Lead, Developer

You will not be expected to fill all of these at once. Your first deliverable is telling us the right order.

What We're Looking For

• 4+ years in talent acquisition, executive search, or human capital consulting in a high-growth environment e.g e-commerce, SaaS, digital media, or agencies
• Proven ability to hire across creative, technical, operations, and coaching disciplines simultaneously
• You have built vetting systems from scratch, not just inherited someone else's process
• You think in sequences. When you see an org chart, you immediately understand what needs to be hired first and why
• You have done real headhunting: finding passive candidates, writing targeted outreach, closing senior hires who weren't looking
• Proficient in ClickUp or similar tools; comfortable owning ATS workflows end to end
• You communicate in data; pipeline metrics, time-to-fill, quality-of-hire etc.
