About the Job

We are scaling rapidly through acquisition, and we’re hiring a Lead Recruiter to own and evolve how talent is brought into the organization. This role is responsible for full-cycle recruiting for Aspen’s corporate hires, while also partnering closely with acquired wealth management firms to support the hiring of financial advisors and business development professionals. You’ll help define, standardize, and enforce the “Aspen way” of hiring—balancing consistency with the realities of founder-led businesses—and will be expected to problem-solve recruiting models, service offerings, and operating structure as the platform grows. This is a hands-on role for someone who is comfortable operating independently, influencing senior stakeholders, and building scalable recruiting practices in a fast-growing, acquisition-driven environment.

This role is based in Manhattan.

Responsibilities

Below are the core areas of work for this role. Over time, responsibilities may evolve, but this should provide a clear view of what to expect:

• Independently manage the full-cycle recruiting processes for Aspen's own hiring

• Hire Chief Growth Officers and CEOs for Aspen's partner wealth management companies

• Support the strategy and hiring of financial advisors and business development professionals for Aspen's partner firms

• Enhance and enforce the new Aspen way of hiring

• Problem-solve the service offerings and structure of Aspen with its partner firms

Experiences and Functional Skills Required

• 5-15 years of recruiting experience with clear career success, with a history of self-sourcing candidates.

• Successful experience recruiting executives into VC-backed and PE-backed companies.

• Experience recruiting using structured, skills-based recruiting methods.

Behaviors and Mindsets Required

• Excellence mindset: A belief that high standards meaningfully improve outcomes, trust, and long-term success—and a commitment to pursuing excellence in a way that is sustainable, purposeful, and rooted in clarity rather than ego. 

• Resourcefulness: Finds ways to get things done despite constraints, using creativity, networks, and unconventional paths.
