Life Sciences Recruiter

About Arc Institute Arc Institute is an independent nonprofit research organization at the interface of artificial intelligence and biology, working to accelerate scientific progress and understand the root causes of complex diseases. Founded in 2021 and based in Palo Alto, Arc partners with Stanford University, UC Berkeley, and UC San Francisco. Unlike academia, our scientists have long-term funding and industry-like resources. Unlike industry, they're free to pursue high-risk, long-term research without commercial pressures.

Arc's Technology Centers and Core Investigator labs work side by side, integrating experimental and computational biology under one roof to tackle problems neither could solve alone. Our two Institute Initiatives reflect this model in action: Virtual Cell Initiative : Building a full-stack virtual cell model to identify disease mechanisms and nominate drug targets, accelerating the path from biological insight to clinical trials. Alzheimer's Disease Initiative : Mapping the genes, pathways, and environmental factors behind Alzheimer's disease to develop drug candidates that address root causes.

More than 300 Arconauts work together at our Palo Alto headquarters, backed by substantial long-term philanthropic funding. About the position Arc Institute is growing and we're looking for a Recruiter with full cycle recruiting experience across life sciences, biotech, or scientific research. This role will focus on hiring across several of our Technology Centers, including but not limited to multi-omics, genome engineering, cellular modeling, mammalian disease modeling, and computational biology.

Our ideal candidate brings a broad scientific recruiting background, experience hiring for leadership positions, and is deeply aligned with our mission and excited to curate an amazing candidate experience.

You've successfully recruited for leadership-level scientific roles and know how to run a search that's as much about relationship-building and market intelligence as it is about pipeline volume. You are a candidate advocate who holds a high bar for candidate experience at every stage of the process.

You build relationships with clear communication, transparency, empathy, and kindness. You approach problem solving with curiosity and resilience. You're not afraid to try a new approach when the old one isn't working. You dive into data to craft sourcing strategies and think creatively about candidate engagement. You're a skilled relationship builder who knows how to earn trust quickly across different levels and functions. You can influence without authority, whether you're advising a first-time hiring manager or partnering with a senior leader, and you know how to bring stakeholders along on decisions, timelines, and tradeoffs.
