ABOUT ELEVENLABS ElevenLabs is an AI research and product company transforming how we interact with technology. We launched in January 2023 with the first human-like AI voice model. 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 $11B - multiples of 11, always. We have expanded from voice into three main platforms: * ElevenAgents 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. * ElevenCreative empowers creators and marketers to generate and edit speech, music, image, and video across 70+ languages. * ElevenAPI gives developers access to our leading AI audio foundational models. Everything 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. HOW WE WORK * High-velocity: Rapid experimentation, lean autonomous teams, and minimal bureaucracy. * Impact not job titles: We don’t have job titles. Instead, it’s about the impact you have. No task is above or beneath you. * AI first: We use AI to move faster with higher-quality results. We do this across the whole company—from engineering to growth to operations. * Excellence everywhere: Everything we do should match the quality of our AI models. * Global team: We prioritize your talent, not your location. WHAT WE OFFER * Innovative 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. * Growth paths: Joining ElevenLabs means joining a dynamic team with countless opportunities to drive impact - beyond your immediate role and responsibilities. * Learning & development: ElevenLabs proactively supports professional development through an annual discretionary stipend. * Social travel: We also provide an annual discretionary stipend to meet up with colleagues each year, however you choose. * Annual company offsite: Each year, we bring the entire team together in a new location - past offsites have included Croatia and Italy. * Co-working: If you’re not located near one of our main hubs, we offer a monthly co-working stipend. ABOUT THE ROLE We're looking for a Technical Recruiter to join our global Talent team at ElevenLabs. This is not a conventional recruiter role — you'll own complex, high-impact technical hiring end to end, with a focus on Forward Deployed Engineering: engineers who work shoulder-to-shoulder with customers, from pre-sales evaluation through post-sales implementation. You'll shape search strategy, build pipelines at the intersection of deep technical ability and customer-facing craft, and close candidates who are genuinely rare. You'll partner with engineering and revenue leadership to redefine what great FDE hiring looks like at scale, as part of a small, high-bar team with an uncompromising standard for quality of hire. If you’re energized by ownership, creative problem-solving, and building hiring systems that scale, this role will stretch and level up your career. WHAT YOUR DAY MIGHT LOOK LIKE * Owning full-cycle recruiting for highly technical roles across our forward deployment team including solutions engineers and deployment strategists. * Partnering closely with hiring managers to deeply understand problems, calibrate on signals, and continuously raise the hiring bar. * Designing and executing thoughtful search strategies — from market mapping and outreach to interview design and closing. * Managing multiple complex searches simultaneously without sacrificing candidate experience or quality. * Acting as a trusted advisor to candidates, guiding them through a rigorous process with clarity, empathy, and conviction. * Serving as an ambassador for ElevenLabs — every interaction reflects our values and sets the tone for the candidate experience. * Continuously improving how we hire by iterating on processes, tooling, and data-driven insights. REQUIREMENTS * Proven experience hiring top-tier technical and forward deployed talent in competitive markets (we’d love to see ~3+ years, but impact matters more than years). * Experience running full-cycle technical recruiting, including sourcing strategy, stakeholder management, and closing. * Strong ability to manage high-complexity searches with many moving parts — you stay structured, adaptable, and focused. * Skilled at translating technical and business needs into clear hiring strategies and compelling candidate narratives. * Excellent written and verbal communication — you build trust with both deeply technical candidates and senior stakeholders. * Comfortable operating in fast-paced, remote-first environments and collaborating across global time zones. * Curious, creative, and genuinely interested in engineering, AI, and how exceptional teams are built. Bonus: * Experience recruiting globally across multiple regions, with a particular preference for LATAM, APAC and EMEA. * Background in high-growth startups, AI native companies, or similarly fast-moving environments. * A builder’s mindset: you experiment, learn quickly, spot patterns, and continuously refine recruiting playbooks and processes. LOCATION This role is remote and can be executed globally. However we have a strong preference for LATAM, APAC, and EMEA regions. #LI-remote
