About the role

Assembling and leading the talent function to build Inherent’s AI-native research and engineering team, with global representation and a fast, self-improving hiring system. Based in London with international travel.

Responsibilities

  • Find people before the market does. Map talent across post-training, AI for science and infrastructure, looking hardest for people others have overlooked.
  • Build an elite network. Find and win over exceptional researchers and engineers from top academic and industry labs, the people who rarely look at job ads.
  • Represent Inherent around the world. Travel to conferences such as NeurIPS, ICML and ICLR, meet researchers in person, and help run our own dinners, seminars and hackathons.
  • Make everyone a talent architect. Build and track referrals across the team, compounding our unique culture of technical excellence, deep commitment to societal benefit, and creative weirdness.
  • Keep us fast. Run a pipeline and interview experience that’s quick, thoughtful and that candidates remember for the right reasons.
  • Centre the machine. Work with Faraday, our internal agent, and in close collaboration with the “Reinventing the Factory” team to turn hiring into a system that improves itself, so every search, screen and conversation makes the next one better.

Qualifications

  • A genuine fascination with the future of scientific discovery and why AI could change it.
  • Curiosity about AI research: you read papers, follow the labs and want to understand the work.
  • New ideas about how to build a world-leading team and its associated brand.
  • Good judgement about people, and a willingness to learn to spot exceptional researchers from a CV, a GitHub profile or a paper trail.
  • A passion for uncovering fascinating people.
  • Clear, warm, distinctive writing. Outreach that gets replies because it’s specific, credible and unusual.
  • Organisation to keep many conversations moving without dropping a thread.
  • Ability to coordinate distinctive, tasteful events that reflect Inherent’s intellectual ethos.
  • Discretion with sensitive information about candidates, pay and company plans.
  • You already use AI to multiply your time, and want to push that much further.
  • A desire to participate in and build a culture that values weirdness, creativity, artistic excellence, scientific precision, hard work and kindness.
