Talent Acquisition Manager

Own hiring end-to-end across creative, growth, and senior roles. Build the team scaling Indias next big wellness brand.

Full-time ·On-site · Lower Parel, Mumbai

Who this is for

You close creative, growth, and senior hires — not just source them. Youve run full-cycle recruitment at a D2C brand, a creative agency, or a fast-scaling startup, and youve owned hiring for at least one function end-to-end, not just sourced for someone elses pipeline. You can look at a reel, a design portfolio, an ad account, or a senior candidates career trajectory and immediately tell whether theyre the real deal.

What you will own

• End-to-end hiring for creative roles — social media managers, video editors, graphic designers, content writers, script writers
• End-to-end hiring for growth roles — performance marketers, Growth Managers, marketplace and quick commerce specialists (Amazon, Blinkit, Zepto)
• End-to-end hiring for senior and leadership roles — category heads, function leads, and other senior mandates as Earthful scales
• Proactive sourcing across LinkedIn, Behance, Instagram, Dribbble, and communities — pipeline always warm before roles open
• Source to offer in 15–20 working days for individual contributor roles, with realistic, founder-aligned timelines for senior mandates
• Own time to fill, offer acceptance rate, and quality of hire as your core metrics
• Partner directly with founders to define what great looks like for each role, evaluate portfolios and craft, and build an interview experience that reflects the brand
• Build and mentor a lean hiring process as the team scales — eventually owning the hiring function, not just executing it

Speed is core to this role

Were a startup scaling fast. Open roles cost momentum. We expect individual contributor positions to close in 15–20 working days, and senior mandates to move with real urgency even when they take longer. The best hire six months too late is still a miss.

What we are looking for

• 3–6 years of full-cycle recruitment, with meaningful time at a D2C brand, creative agency, or startup
• Track record closing creative, growth, and at least a few senior or leadership hires within tight timelines
• Experience hiring performance marketers, Growth Managers, and quick commerce or marketplace specialists
• Ability to evaluate creative output independently — reels, portfolios, content briefs — without relying on a hiring manager to filter for you
• High ownership, urgency, and genuine comfort working directly with founders on senior, high-stakes mandates
• Someone whos ready to own the hiring function, not just execute requisitions
