Head of Talent Acquisition & Recruiting

Freebird is one of the fastest-growing DTC personal care brands in the world. We’ve helped over 1 million customers achieve the best head-shaving experience possible — and now we’re expanding fast across all functions. We move fast, execute aggressively, and obsess over hiring people who can help us scale without slowing down.

Why We’re Hiring

We’re entering a massive growth phase and need to build a best-in-class team to support it. We’re hiring across 10-20 critical roles this year — including executives, directors, managers, functional leaders, offshore operators, and more.

Historically, our founders and exec team have handled recruiting — but we’ve outgrown that. We’re looking for a Head of Talent Acquisition to own, systemize, and scale our hiring engine.

This is a high-impact, high-visibility role — you’ll report directly to the COO and partner with every team to recruit, close, and retain elite talent.

🔍 Sourcing & Pipeline Generation

• Proactively source top-tier DTC/eCommerce talent

• Know how to identify and attract high performers from elite consumer brands or agencies

• Build sourcing lists, warm outbound, and candidate nurturing campaigns

• Help coordinate offers, references, and onboarding handoffs

🤝 Leadership Partnership

• Must have strong exposure to DTC/eCommerce brands (either as clients or in-house)

• Proven ability to source, close, and manage pipelines for executives, operators, and offshore talent

• You move fast, follow through, and never need babysitting

• You love the chase — headhunting is second nature

• You’re obsessed with quality and candidate experience

• You’ve worked with lean teams and know how to build without bloat
