Talent Manager

At Parallel, we build AI agents to help healthcare facilities automate their administrative processes and unlock additional revenue, starting with medical coding.

Today, up to 25% of healthcare spending is lost in manual, repetitive administrative work. Legacy software hasn’t helped, it’s made things slower, more complex, and more frustrating for care teams.

We believe AI agents can change that. Our technology combines Large Language Models with system-level automation to handle real work inside existing hospital tools. No integrations, no disruption.

Our first agent automates coding workflows and frees up time for medical staff to focus on patients.

We launched in 2024, are backed by top investors (Index, Frst, Y Combinator, Hexa, Kima Ventures, Better Angle), and we’re just getting started.

The future of healthcare isn’t just digital — it’s automated. Come help us build it !

As we scale, we're looking for our first Talent Manager to join us.

We’re entering a pivotal phase: moving from 10 to 40 people over the next 12 months. This role is not about maintaining an existing machine, it’s about building it.

You’ll work directly with the CEO and founding team to design and execute the talent strategy that will define our next chapter, while structuring the people foundations that allow us to scale.

We’re building applied AI to reduce hospital burnout and unlock hospital revenue. To achieve that mission, we need exceptional people — and you’ll be the one bringing them in.

This is a rare opportunity to join early, shape the culture, build the recruiting engine from scratch, and have a direct impact on the company’s trajectory.

Mission

As our Talent Manager, you will:

• Own end-to-end recruitment across all functions (Tech, Product, Sales, Ops, G&A)

  • Build and execute a hiring plan aligned with our 2026–2027 growth ambitions

  • Write compelling job descriptions that reflect our ambition and positioning

  • Proactively source top talent (especially through headhunting and direct outreach)

  • Lead screening calls and structure interview processes

  • Own offer preparation, negotiation, and closing

  • Design and improve our employer branding (LinkedIn, careers page, content, events)

  • Implement and optimize recruiting tools, processes, and KPIs (time-to-hire, conversion rates, pipeline quality)

  • Ensure an exceptional candidate experience at every touchpoint

• Build and run lean, high-quality HR operations as we scale:

  • Help shape company culture, rituals, and internal communication practices

  • Act as a trusted point of contact for employees on day-to-day HR matters

  • Act as a trusted advisor to leadership on talent strategy and org design topics

  • Own office life and internal team events to strengthen culture and engagement

This is both a strategic and hands-on role. You will source, interview, close — and also build the systems that will allow us to scale sustainably.

The next hires will define Parallel’s culture, execution speed, and ambition. At the same time, how we structure performance, compensation, onboarding, and day-to-day people experience will determine whether we scale sustainably. This role is foundational.

• You combine rigor (structured interviews, KPIs, documentation, compliance) with pragmatism and solution-oriented mindset

• You’re comfortable challenging hiring managers and protecting talent density

• You care deeply about culture and long-term team quality

• You are emotionally intelligent and comfortable handling sensitive situations

We care about who you are, not just what's on your CV.

If you're drawn to what we're building but don't meet every requirement, we still want to hear from you. Studies show that women in particular tend to apply only when they meet 100% of the criteria. If that's you, please don't let that hold you back. We'd love to receive your application.
