Talent & Recruiting Lead (In-House)

Bravo Capital | New York, NY

Position Overview

Bravo Capital is seeking a high-impact, in-house Talent & Recruiting Lead to help build and scale our team as we grow our core business and expand into new lending verticals and adjacent platforms.

This is a hands-on, execution-focused role for someone who can partner directly with senior leadership to identify, attract, and hire top talent across the firm. The right person is a proactive builder - someone who can run a full recruiting function, source exceptional candidates, and help shape the team as we enter new areas such as SBA, USDA, C-PACE, CMBS/CLO, and other strategic adjacencies.

What You’ll Do

• Lead full-cycle recruiting across all functions, including origination, underwriting, credit, legal/compliance, capital markets, and operations
• Partner directly with the CEO and department heads to define hiring needs tied to growth and new business initiatives
• Build and execute recruiting strategies for both core roles and new vertical buildouts (including first hires and leadership roles)
• Proactively source high-quality candidates, with a focus on direct outreach and relationship-driven recruiting
• Manage and optimize the use of external search firms where appropriate
• Develop structured interview processes, evaluation frameworks, and hiring scorecards
• Track pipeline, hiring progress, and key recruiting metrics for leadership visibility
• Support onboarding and early integration of new hires to drive productivity and retention

What We’re Looking For

• 5–10+ years of recruiting or talent acquisition experience within financial services and real estate
• Proven ability to recruit for both core roles and buildout situations (new teams, new verticals, first hires)
• Strong sourcing capabilities and comfort engaging passive candidates
• Experience partnering directly with senior leadership in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment
• High level of judgment, organization, and follow-through
• Polished communication style with strong candidate-facing presence
• Experience in commercial real estate, lending and adjacent financial sectors
