People Programs & Recruiting Lead

WellTheory is a digital health company helping people with autoimmune conditions take control of their health through personalized care, nutrition guidance, and ongoing coaching. We're a team of 50+ passionate people who believe better care starts with better relationships. Our organization has also entered its next chapter of rapid growth, and we’ve chosen to navigate it in a thoughtful, strategic, and values-aligned way.

We're looking for a People Programs & Recruiting Lead, reporting to our Head of People, to help us build and scale the operational foundation of our People function. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role sitting at the intersection of program management and recruiting.

Our People function is currently a team of 1, and we're hitting an inflection point. We're in the middle of rolling out new systems and platforms. We're designing and launching people programs that can grow with our company. We're also hiring, while investing intentionally in AI fluency for every role. We need someone who can be a builder, thinker, and driver across these programs, while keeping our hiring engine running.

• Are comfortable being the face of WellTheory to candidates and can source, build a pipeline, and close strong candidates effectively

• Can lead complex x-functional programs from kickoff to launch with a high degree of autonomy

• Are a curious person with a love of learning, and you embrace the opportunity to solve unknown problems from the ground up

• Thrive in fast-moving environments and are comfortable adapting to change

• Are based in the US and can collaborate across Pacific Time working hours

• Familiarity with our primary tech stack: Ashby, Notion, Slack, Claude, Google

• Opportunity to be the #2 “right hand” to a Head of People and design intentionally from the ground up as our company grows

• A team that genuinely cares about each other and the members we serve

• A fully remote company that gathers every year for an annual retreat

• A base salary range of $130,000 - $160,000 with meaningful equity and benefits. Placement within our range depends on directly relevant skills and experiences you bring to the role.
