Head of Talent Acquisition

CSC Generation is the AI-native holding company re-engineering omni-channel retail. We acquire iconic brands and transform them with Genesis—our operating platform unifying a Data Fabric, Automation Engine, proprietary tools, and shared services—to modernize operations, elevate customer experience, and expand margins.

With $1B+ in revenue across 13 brands, our portfolio includes Sur La Table, Backcountry, One Kings Lane, and more—premier home and outdoor banners that double as real-world innovation hubs. CSC Generation continues to grow through M&A, revitalizing companies with strong brand recognition and loyal customers.

We’re hiring a Head of Talent Acquisition (Senior Manager or Director level) who combines deep talent acquisition expertise with a genuine fluency in AI tooling and automation. This is not a role for someone who uses AI as a productivity add-on — it’s for a recruiter who has fundamentally rewired how they source, assess, and close talent using modern AI platforms, and who can develop and lead a recruiting function that operates the same way.

You will design and operate a recruiting engine that is fast, data-driven, and continuously improving, embedded directly into CSC Generation’s operating rhythm and aligned with the Genesis platform’s broader mission of replacing manual processes with intelligent automation.

This is a high-ownership, hands-on leadership role with direct business impact.

Reporting into the Chief Administrative Officer, you’ll partner with brand CEOs and platform leaders to build the teams that power our portfolio.

• Own full-cycle recruiting across technical, commercial, and operational roles for CSC Generation and its portfolio brands, from sourcing through offer.
• Lead and scale an AI-augmented recruiting function that uses automation and predictive analytics to deliver exceptional hiring outcomes (speed, quality, candidate experience).
• Design, implement, and measure recruiting workflows enhanced by AI tools (e.g., resume analytics, candidate matching, conversational agents, forecasting models) to increase efficiency with human oversight.
• Partner directly with brand CEOs and functional leaders to translate business growth plans into talent strategies with clear pipelines, timelines, and success metrics.
• Develop data infrastructure for recruiting, tracking funnel performance, source quality, offer acceptance rates, and early tenure outcomes to continuously improve the function.
• Champion AI‑first thinking across the HR function, identifying opportunities to embed intelligence into candidate experience, hiring manager workflows, and onboarding.
• Evaluate, select, and operationalize emerging recruiting technologies to keep CSC Generation at the leading edge of talent acquisition.
• Mentor and grow a high‑performing recruiting team, fostering a culture of continuous learning and experimentation.

• 7+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with at least 2 years in a senior or lead capacity, ideally within a high-growth, multi-brand, or holding company environment in the tech, ecommerce, and/or retail industries.
• Demonstrated, hands‑on experience building recruiting workflows using AI tools, including AI-assisted sourcing platforms, automated outreach sequencing, screening automation, and recruiting analytics dashboards.
• A genuine belief that AI is not a feature but a foundation and a track record of redesigning recruiting processes around that principle rather than layering AI onto legacy workflows.
• Strong proficiency with modern ATS platforms and the ability to evaluate, implement, and integrate new recruiting technology with minimal IT dependency.
• Experience recruiting across technical functions (engineering, data science, product) as well as commercial and operational roles.
• The analytical instincts to build and maintain recruiting metrics that actually drive decisions: funnel conversion, source ROI, time-to-fill, quality of hire, and retention correlation.
• Demonstrated ability to operate independently in ambiguous, fast-moving environments and take recruiting problems from zero to a functioning, measurable solution.
• Excellent communication and…
