Principal, Talent Acquisition

At CoMind, we are developing a non-invasive neuromonitoring technology that will result in a new era of clinical brain monitoring.

In joining us, you will be helping to create cutting-edge technologies that will improve how we diagnose and treat brain disorders, ultimately improving and saving the lives of patients across the world.

The Role

We are a medical device company operating at the intersection of engineering precision and patient impact. As we grow our capabilities across the UK and US, we are looking for a Principal Talent Acquisition Partner to lead on hiring delivery, spanning hardware, software, and broader engineering disciplines critical to our product development and regulatory roadmap.

This is a senior, high-autonomy role for someone who has built talent functions end to end before, not simply staffed them. You will operate as a trusted advisor to senior leadership on how we find, engage, and win the specialist and leadership talent this space demands; bringing structured market intelligence, sharp judgment on ambiguous and high-stakes searches, and the credibility to shape hiring strategy at the most senior tables in the business.

You will set the standard for how the wider TA function operates: embedding rigour into our ATS and pipeline data, and partnering closely with People Operations to keep our offer and onboarding process compliant, consistent, and built to scale.

Responsibilities:

• Act as a trusted advisor to senior leadership on talent strategy for CoMind’s most complex and business-critical hires, translating ambiguous or evolving requirements into a clear hiring plan

• Define and embed hiring processes that scale across geographies without losing rigour, speed, or candidate experience

• Build long-term relationships with passive talent at leadership level

• Manage stakeholders across the business to triage priorities and delivery required to manage pipelines against business objectives

Skills & Experience:

• 10+ years of in-house or embedded Talent Acquisition experience, including demonstrated experience operating at a senior or principal level as a trusted advisor to leadership

• A strong track record recruiting across hardware, software, and broader engineering disciplines

• Deep expertise sourcing and engaging passive, senior, and hard-to-find talent using executive search-grade methodology

• Experience building or scaling a talent function, designing how hiring works, not just filling seats within an existing process

• Comfortable managing multi-site hiring across geographically dispersed teams, and operating with autonomy in ambiguous or fast-changing environments

Nice to have:

• Experience with executive search methodology or retained search

• Familiarity with the London and/or South West technical talent market

• Deep expertise hiring in electronics, opto-electronics, FPGA/ASIC engineering, and other deeply technical hardware domains

Benefits:

• Company equity plan so all employees share in the success of the company

• Salary-sacrifice pension scheme

• Private medical, dental and vision insurance (medical history disregarded)

• Group life insurance at 4x annual income

• Comprehensive mental health support, including unlimited access to 1:1 sessions with trained professionals

• Unlimited holiday allowance (+ bank holidays) and one week of remote working per quarter

• Lunch voucher (£10) every day for JustEat and free dinner on those days where you need to work later

• Twice weekly deliveries of fresh fruit and an extensive selection of snacks and drinks

• YuLife subscription, allowing you to turn your daily steps and meditation into discounts at a range of stores
