Senior Talent Acquisition Manager

About this role

### About Black Spectacles

Black Spectacles helps architects thrive in their careers through effective, high-quality digital education and career development.

We are a remote, founder-led company building a small, high-performing organization. Our growth depends on consistently hiring the right people into the right roles—not simply adding headcount.

###

### The Role

Black Spectacles is hiring a Senior Manager, Talent Acquisition to own and operate the system we use to attract, evaluate, select, and close exceptional talent.

We have already developed a rigorous, evidence-based hiring philosophy and process. We need an experienced talent acquisition leader who believes in what we have built, can take full ownership of running it, and can use deeper expertise to make it stronger.

This is a hands-on functional-owner role. You will personally source, engage, screen, evaluate, and close candidates while managing the entire recruiting process.

You must be able to take the football and run with it—without disregarding the standards, systems, and judgment that already exist.

### Mission

Own and continuously improve Black Spectacles’ talent acquisition system so the company can consistently hire the right people without relying on the CEO to manage recruiting day to day.

### What You Will Own

• Candidate research and target-company mapping
• Outbound sourcing and personalized outreach
• Referral and network development
• Candidate screening and follow-up
• Ongoing relationship and talent-bench development

Recruiting is a sales function. You must be able to communicate the opportunity compellingly, establish trust with strong candidates, and help them understand why Black Spectacles may be the right next step in their careers.
