Senior Recruiter

Altana is the network for trusted trade. Our AI-powered product network empowers governments and businesses to build a more resilient and secure global economy while keeping trade flowing.

We’re looking for an experienced recruiter to join our talent team. As a Senior Recruiter at Altana, you’ll help shape how the company grows by owning full-cycle recruiting which may include technical, senior go-to-market, and operations roles. This is a high-ownership role for someone who’s comfortable operating independently, bringing judgment to ambiguous problems, and acting as a true partner to senior hiring managers.

Altana’s work sits at the intersection of AI, global trade, and national security, and the talent bar is high by design.

• Own end-to-end recruiting for a mix of roles, with accountability for quality, speed, and candidate experience.
• Partner closely with senior hiring managers to define roles, pressure-test profiles, and make strong hiring decisions.
• Operate with autonomy and follow-through, identifying issues early and driving searches forward without heavy oversight.
• Run thoughtful, consistent assessments and provide clear, well-reasoned recommendations.
• Communicate clearly with candidates and stakeholders, adapting your style to the situation.
• Bring a point of view on talent, the market, and recruiting practices that helps Altana hire better over time.

• 5-8+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience with at least 2 yrs experience recruiting at a high growth startup
• Experience either recruiting GTM Leaders or in technical recruiting (experience in both nice-to-have but not required)
• Strong assessment skills and sound judgment when evaluating candidates.
• Experience partnering directly with senior leaders as a trusted, business-minded recruiter.
• Clear, confident communication and a strong client-service mindset.
• Comfort working through ambiguity while keeping a high bar for quality and follow-through.

This role can be based in either Brooklyn, NY or Washington, DC. We ask that candidates participate in our hybrid work mode.
