Head of Talent Acquisition

Gordian is building the operating system for the airline industry and taking the friction out of travel. We started on an unsolved problem: empower travel sites to upsell seat selection, baggage and other upgrades. We’ve signed huge customers like Priceline, Hopper and Trip.com to our unique API.

Our traction speaks for itself.  With twenty-five people, we have annualized revenue of over $13m, backing from investors including Y Combinator, the ex-CEO of Skyscanner and the founders of Plaid, and our rapid growth is accelerating. 

We move fast, have a high impact culture, and work in a great hybrid-remote environment.  Get to know our culture and values here. Join our team to create the future of air travel.  

MISSION

The Head of Talent Acquisition will grow Gordian 4x in 2022 by building and lead a world class startup recruiting team.  You will define and and manage our approach to talent - partners, channels, capacity, staffing, and spend - while advancing our culture and environment by upholding our hiring standards.  To succeed, you will create innovative and streamlined processes to reduce friction in an accelerated recruiting workflow and act as a strategic advisor to hiring managers, sharing market trends, insights and managing expectations.  Most of all, you will promote our values and our employer brand to candidates and the talent team by acting with Freedom, Impact and Ownership.

HYBRID REMOTE ENVIRONMENT

We have a system for hybrid work called 7+1.  Read about it here.  Our remote teammates travel to Bellevue, WA for a full week once every two months.  We think it combines the best of remote and in person environments and it requires everyone not working from Bellevue to travel 6x per year.
