Talent Acquisition Manager

🚀 Build the Hiring Engine Behind One of the Top 5 Amazon Sellers in the US

📍 Role: Talent Acquisition Manager
📍 Location: San Diego, CA 92101 (Onsite at Symphony Towers)
💰 Compensation: $130,000 - $160,000 DOE

Luminize isn't your typical eCommerce company. We're one of the top 5 Amazon sellers in the US — and we're scaling fast. To do that right, we need someone who can own the entire talent acquisition function and build a hiring machine that keeps pace with aggressive growth.

We're looking for a Talent Acquisition Manager who operates like a builder, not a backfiller — someone who translates growth goals into proactive hiring plans, creates scalable recruiting systems, and gives leadership clear visibility into performance, risks, and opportunities. You'll own the full employee lifecycle from workforce planning through onboarding and offboarding, and you'll have the decision-making authority to move fast and get it right.

If you're a TA leader who wants full ownership of the function, a direct line to leadership, and the chance to build something from the ground up — let's talk.

🎯 What You'll Own

• Workforce planning and hiring strategy — partnering with leadership quarterly to forecast headcount needs and build proactive hiring roadmaps aligned to revenue and operational targets
• Full-cycle recruiting execution across inbound, outbound, referrals, and external partners — from sourcing through offer acceptance
• Offers, compensation, and hiring governance — composing offer letters, negotiating within approved bands, and maintaining compensation discipline and compliance
• The Talent Acquisition team — managing your Coordinator and Operations Assistant, plus coordinating hiring managers and external recruiters
• The ATS end-to-end — workflow design, data accuracy, pipeline visibility, reporting integrity, and hiring process standardization
• Onboarding and offboarding oversight — ensuring new hires are set up for success on Day 1 and exit processes are clean and compliant
• Hiring analytics and executive reporting — delivering monthly dashboards covering time-to-hire, pipeline conversion, source effectiveness, attrition trends, and new hire retention
• Vendor and partner management — serving as primary liaison with HR partners, managing background checks, and ensuring external recruiter performance and ROI

✅ What You Bring

• 5+ years of experience in recruitment, talent acquisition, or a similar HR function — with proven success in full-cycle recruiting and process improvement
• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, Organizational Development, or related field preferred
• Hands-on experience managing requisitions in common ATS platforms and building scalable hiring workflows
• Advanced proficiency with sourcing tools including LinkedIn, social media, and outbound strategies
• Experience with data visualization and reporting tools (Tableau, Power BI, or similar) preferred
• Deep understanding of federal and state hiring and employment laws (EEO, ADA, FLSA, OSHA)
• The ability to conduct high-level conversations with hiring managers, business leaders, and executives about talent strategy
• Prior supervisory experience managing TA support staff
• A systems thinker — you build repeatable processes, track what matters, and continuously improve

🏙 You'll be based in Symphony Towers, one of San Diego's premier office spaces that offers:

• Stunning views of the city and coastline
• Free access to the building gym
• Discounts at restaurants and cafes in the tower
• Secure bike racks in the building and 24/7 paid parking in a nearby downtown structure
• Close walking distance to 100+ of the top bars, restaurants, and coffee shops

Our office is designed for comfort, productivity, and collaboration, featuring:

• Ergonomic standing desks and high-quality workstations
• A fully stocked snack bar, espresso machine, and cold drinks
• A welcoming team lounge area and sunny workspaces
• A clean, modern space where we can do our best work together

🎁 Benefits & Perks

• Multiple medical plan options through Anthem Blue Cross
• Dental & vision insurance (including orthodontia and annual exams)
• Pet benefit program with savings on vet care, products, and services
• Paid vacation (accruing up to 120+ hours/year with rollover and cap)
• Paid holidays annually
• Coverage for spouses/domestic partners and dependents under 26
• Benefits begin on the first of the month after your hire date
