Add a Spark to the Ordinary...
Blank Street is looking for a Talent Acquisition Lead to own and scale hiring across the US. We’re entering a phase of rapid growth and need to hire exceptional people at scale without compromising quality. This is a builder role — you won’t just run recruiting, you’ll design how it works.
You’ll operate at both a strategic and executional level, partnering closely with leaders across the business to hire exceptional talent across our stores and HQ. From standing up hiring in new markets to improving systems and processes, you’ll build a recruiting engine (0 → 1 and 1 → 10) that can scale with the business. This role directly shapes who we hire, how we grow, and the long-term quality of our teams. You’ll be expected to think big, move quickly, and get your hands dirty.
This is fully in-person based in our Brooklyn HQ and reports to the Senior Director of People.
Who We’re Looking For
- Results Oriented - Takes initiative, drives projects to completion, and consistently delivers outcomes efficiently and proactively.
- Problem-Solving - Thinks critically and creatively to overcome challenges, using logic and innovative approaches to achieve results.
- Communication & Partnership - Builds trust and collaborates effectively, communicating clearly, confidently, and with humility across stakeholders.
- Detail Oriented - Plans, prioritizes, and manages multiple tasks with precision and accuracy, ensuring high-quality outputs.
What You’ll Own
- Own end-to-end hiring across store, field, and HQ roles
- Build and scale recruiting systems that support high-volume hiring (2,000+ hires/year)
- Stand up hiring for new markets from scratch
- Partner with hiring managers to define roles, calibrate talent, and raise the bar
- Identify gaps and proactively design solutions (process, tooling, sourcing strategies)
- Use data to diagnose funnel and general recruiting issues and drive improvements
- Get your hands dirty. This is a player-coach role where you’ll actively recruit but also manage a team
