VP of Talent Acquisition

San Jose/ San Francisco Bay Area

Banking is being reimagined—and customers expect every interaction to be easy, personal, and instant. 

We are building a universal banking assistant that millions of U.S. consumers can use to transact across all financial institutions and, over time, autonomously drive their financial goals. Powered by our proprietary BankGPT platform, this assistant is positioned to displace age-old legacy systems within financial institutions and own the end-to-end CX stack, unlocking a $200B opportunity and potentially replacing multiple publicly traded companies. 

Ultimately, our mission is to drive financial well-being for millions of consumers.

With over two-thirds of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, 50% holding less than $500 in savings, and only 17% financially literate, we aim to put financial well-being on autopilot to help solve this problem.

 

About the Role

As VP of Talent Acquisition, you will build and lead the talent engine that powers interface.ai through its next phase of growth. You will define the hiring strategy, establish scalable recruiting processes, elevate talent density across all functions, and strengthen our employer brand globally.

You will partner closely with leaders across Product, Engineering, GTM, Customer Success, and Operations to ensure we attract and hire exceptional people at speed while maintaining a high talent bar. This role requires a blend of strategic thinking, operational rigor, and hands-on execution to support rapid global scaling.

Why this is a compelling opportunity

  • Build the talent engine for a $200B+ platform shift in banking. interface.ai is replatforming how banks interact with customers, replacing legacy IVR/chat and fragmented tools with a single AI experience layer. You’ll design the talent strategy that powers this transformation
  • Own hiring for a category-defining AI company. Our BankGPT-powered universal banking assistant is positioned to displace age-old systems and become the primary CX layer for financial institutions. You’ll be responsible for bringing in the builders, sellers, and operators who make that a reality
  • Founder-level impact on org shape and talent bar. Reporting into and partnering closely with the CEO and exec team, you will define what “great” looks like across every function, build the leadership layer, and hard-wire a high-talent-bar culture across the U.S. and India
  • Scale with real customers, real stakes. With millions of banking conversations processed on our platform and 100+ institutions in our orbit, every great hire you make shows up directly in product velocity, customer outcomes, and revenue
  • Mission with teeth. In a world where most Americans live paycheck to paycheck and financial literacy is low, the teams you build will help put financial well-being on autopilot for millions of people

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
