Flagler Health is building the clinical operating system for modern musculoskeletal care.

We partner with MSK provider groups and specialty clinics to help them grow, operate more efficiently, and deliver better longitudinal care across patient acquisition, clinical workflows, and ongoing patient engagement. Our platform sits at the intersection of care delivery and clinic operations, helping providers capture more value across the full patient lifecycle.

We’ve recently raised our Series B and are entering our next phase of growth. We’re hiring a Head of Marketing to build and scale the marketing engine that will drive that growth.

This is a pipeline and revenue role. Success means generating high-quality pipeline from the right provider groups, and helping convert that into revenue in a complex, trust-driven market.

Role

We are hiring a Head of Talent to build and scale the recruiting function and help take Flagler from early-stage hiring sprints to a durable, repeatable talent engine that can support aggressive headcount growth across every function.

Reporting to the Co-Founder & CEO, Albert Katz, this leader will take ownership of the talent function while partnering closely with the executive team and hiring managers to deliver on Flagler's hiring plan. This is not a "sit back and manage" role. As Head of Talent, you will operate as a player-coach—personally owning critical executive and senior IC searches while developing and scaling a team of recruiters and coordinators.

You will own company hiring targets, refine and operationalize the recruiting process, and help evolve the talent strategy to support more senior hires, more complex compensation structures, and continued expansion across commercial, clinical, product, and engineering teams. This is a high-impact role at a critical inflection point, with the opportunity to shape how Flagler builds its team and culture as it scales.

Location: Based in New York City.

Key Responsibilities

Hiring Ownership: Own company hiring targets and consistently deliver against them across functions, levels, and geographies.
Talent Org Scaling: Build and scale the recruiting team (currently lean), with responsibility for hiring, onboarding, and developing recruiters, sourcers, and coordinators as the company grows.
Executive & Senior Search: Stay close to the work by personally leading high-stakes searches for executive, leadership, and hard-to-fill technical or commercial roles.
Recruiting Playbooks: Refine and operationalize repeatable, scalable recruiting processes—intake, sourcing, screening, interviewing, debriefs, offers, and closing.
Pipeline Management: Build and manage a healthy candidate pipeline while improving forecasting accuracy, time-to-fill, and visibility across every open req.
Sourcing Strategy: Evolve outbound sourcing motions to reach top passive talent in healthcare, AI, and high-growth SaaS.
Hiring Manager Alignment: Partner closely with executives and hiring managers to define role scorecards, calibrate candidates, run structured interviews, and make confident hiring decisions.
Offer & Comp Negotiation: Lead negotiations on competitive offers, including complex equity and OTE packages for senior hires.
Employer Brand: Collaborate with marketing and leadership to build Flagler's employer brand and candidate experience as a top-tier place to work in healthtech.
Team Leadership: Coach, mentor, and develop recruiting talent through structured training, pipeline reviews, and performance management.
Hiring & Scaling: Continue building a high-performing talent team with strong culture, accountability, and execution discipline.
Tech Discipline: Enforce rigorous ATS usage, sourcing data hygiene, and recruiting analytics to support data-driven decision-making.
Culture & People Voice: Serve as a key conduit between candidates, employees, and leadership—informing comp strategy, leveling, org design, and culture initiatives with market feedback.

Requirements

Strong understanding of startup hiring dynamics, equity-heavy comp structures, and multi-stakeholder interview processes.
Demonstrated ability to operate across both strategic and tactical levels—from personally closing executive candidates to building systems and processes.
Experience with pipeline management, hiring forecasting, and recruiting analytics (ATS, sourcing tools, comp benchmarking).
Strong negotiation skills, particularly around competitive senior offers and equity packages.
Comfort working cross-functionally with executives, Finance, Legal, and People Operations.
