Talent Acquisition Manager

Job DescriptionJob Description

viaPhoton is a rapidly scaling fiber solutions provider, growing revenue 4× in the last year as we help build next- AI infrastructure. Our technology, manufacturing expertise, and service levels enable hyperscalers and data centers to deploy faster and more reliably. We combine advanced manufacturing with a customer-obsessed operating model to deliver exceptional speed and flexibility.

We’re building not just world-class products — but a world-class team to support them.

Why This Role Matters

You are the front door to viaPhoton.

Every candidate’s first real experience with our company — our clarity, standards, pace, and values — runs through you.

Your work directly impacts our ability to scale responsibly, protect culture, and hire people who raise the bar across engineering, operations, manufacturing, and corporate teams.

This is not a transactional recruiting role.
This is a high-impact talent partner role at a company moving fast.

What This Role Really Is

• The internal owner of candidate experience end-to-end

• A strategic partner to hiring managers, not an order-taker

• A systems-oriented operator who brings structure to fast-moving hiring needs

• A culture carrier who understands that how we hire matters as much as who we hire

What You Will Do

• Own full-cycle recruiting across technical, manufacturing, and corporate roles

• Partner closely with hiring managers to define role needs, success profiles, and hiring plans

• Proactively source and attract high-quality candidates through outbound, referrals, and networks

• Manage candidate pipelines with speed, clarity, and consistency

• Run a best-in-class candidate experience — timely updates, clear expectations, thoughtful communication

• Coordinate interviews, feedback loops, and hiring decisions efficiently

• Maintain accurate, real-time data in our ATS and internal tracking systems

• Identify hiring bottlenecks and propose process improvements

• Help shape recruiting strategy, employer brand, and talent processes as we scale

• Represent viaPhoton with professionalism, warmth, and high standards at every touchpoint

What You Will Bring

• Strong written and verbal communication — clear, confident, and human

• Excellent organizational discipline and attention to detail

• Sound judgment and the ability to balance speed with quality

• Comfort managing multiple roles and stakeholders simultaneously

• High ownership mentality — you follow things through without being asked

• Ability to operate in ambiguity and evolving environments

• Curiosity and willingness to learn technical and operational roles deeply

• Prior experience in full-cycle recruiting (startup or high-growth environments a plus)

Career Growth at viaPhoton

We invest in people who raise the bar.

As viaPhoton scales, this role has the opportunity to grow into senior recruiting, talent strategy, or people operations leadership — based on performance and interest.

We don’t hire for static jobs. We hire for trajectory.

Our Core Values

• Fearless Innovation — pursue better, challenge norms

• Forward Together — win as one team

• Integrity Over Everything — do what’s right

• Nimble, Always — move fast without sacrificing quality

• Be The Bar — set the standard through excellence

Who We Are

We work in a way that reflects who we are at our core:

• New, not inexperienced

• Driven, not pushy

• Simple, not boring

• Fast, not reckless

• Purposeful, but flexible

• Debate, not conflict

• Confess, not deny

• Confident, but humble

• Giving credit over receiving it

• Open, but focused

• Fun, not unreliable

• Team players, not selfish

• Innovators, not experimenters
