How to Apply for Talent Acquisition Partner

at TeraWatt Infrastructure

🏢 About TeraWatt Infrastructure

TeraWatt Infrastructure is uniquely positioned at the forefront of the EV charging revolution, specifically focused on scaling infrastructure for commercial fleets. Unlike consumer-focused EV companies, TeraWatt tackles the complex challenge of electrifying large vehicle fleets, making their mission both specialized and critical to reducing carbon emissions. Working here means directly contributing to the decarbonization of transportation while operating in a high-growth, mission-driven environment.

About This Role

As a Talent Acquisition Partner at TeraWatt, you'll own full-cycle recruiting across diverse functions (technical, product, business, G&A) in a fast-paced scaling environment. This role is impactful because you'll be building the team that scales EV charging infrastructure for fleets, directly enabling the company's mission while advising senior leaders on hiring strategy. You'll balance high-volume hiring with quality and embed DEIB principles throughout the recruitment process.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve morning syncs with hiring managers to align on role requirements, followed by focused sourcing sessions for technical positions while managing ongoing interviews for business roles. You'd likely spend afternoons refining interview scorecards, analyzing pipeline metrics, and preparing hiring committee materials, all while ensuring DEIB principles are integrated throughout each process.
