Senior Manager Talent Acquisition

About LearnTube: Were a Google-backed AI company in the career-tech space with 30 lakh+ usersbuilt by a team of 25. That ratio tells you something about how we work: with real velocity, deep ownership, and zero bloat.

Our cultural pillars arent posters on a wall. We move fast. We raise the floor. We take ownership of outcomes. We build with head, body, and heart.Every person on this team works closely with the founders, has real influence on what we build, and sees their ideas go live not into a backlog.

If you care about being at one of the few AI startups actually building out of Mumbai, with the backing and the traction to prove its real, this is a rare seat.

Why This Role Exists:

Well be direct: our hiring function hasnt kept pace with our growth. Roles have stayed open too long. Pipelines have been too thin. Great candidates have slipped away because we didnt move fast enough or engage deeply enough.

Were fixing this, not by tweaking what exists, but by bringing in someone who will rebuild how LearnTube attracts and closes talent.

This is the most leveraged hire well make this year. Every person you bring in shapes what this company becomes.

What Youll Actually Do:

Your #1 job is closing exceptional hires (70%):

• Own end-to-end recruitment across product management, engineering, marketing, content, and founders office roles
• Build pipelines that are 4-5 candidates deep at offer stage not 1-2 and praying
• Proactively source through outbound channels LinkedIn, networks, communities, headhunting not just waiting for inbound applications
• Manage candidates through the
  
  entire funnel with speed and care from first message to signed offer
• Partner directly with the founders on every hire; final decisions are made together
• Establish hiring metrics and dashboards so we always know where every role stands
• Work with external recruiters when needed and manage them effectively

Youll also own core HR operations (30%):

• Onboarding and offboarding
• Payroll coordination, attendance and leave management
• Performance review cycles and regular check-ins
• Employee engagement and being the first point of contact for people matters

As we grow, well bring in more support for the ops side. Right now, hiring is the priority and everything else comes second.

What Makes This Role Different:

• Founder partnership, not delegation. You wont be throwing resumes over a wall. Our founders personallysource candidates, pitch roles, and show up in final rounds. Youll have a co-founder in the trenches with you.
• Full ownership from day one. The systems, the processes, the sourcing playbook, the candidate experience you build it your way.We care about outcomes, not methods.
• Youll shape the company. LearnTube is a lean team. Every hire is felt.
