Technical Recruiter / Talent Partner

Trilon Group is making a significant investment in building a next-generation AI, data, and digital capability to transform how infrastructure is designed and delivered. This is a high-priority, enterprise-level initiative backed by leadership and aligned to long-term value creation.

We are seeking a Technical Recruiter / Talent Partner to play a critical role in building this capability from the ground up. This individual will operate as both a strategic advisor and hands-on builder, responsible for attracting and hiring top-tier talent across AI, data, and engineering.

This is not a traditional recruiting role-you will help shape the talent strategy, operating model, and team architecture for a rapidly scaling, PE-backed platform.

Responsibilities

• Partner with executive leadership to define and execute the hiring strategy for AI, data, and engineering functions
• Own end-to-end recruiting for high-impact, hard-to-fill technical roles across the AI task force, including:
  • AI/ML Engineers, AI Developers, and AI Specialists
  • Data Engineers and Data Platform roles
  • Full Stack Developers and Infrastructure/DevOps Engineers
  • Solutions Architects and Technical Business roles
• Translate evolving business needs into clear hiring plans, role definitions, and candidate profiles
• Build and execute proactive sourcing strategies targeting passive, high-caliber technical talent
• Act as a market expert, advising leadership on talent availability, competitive landscape, and compensation trends
• Help design and implement scalable recruiting processes to support multi-role, multi-phase team buildouts
• Drive a structured, high-quality interview and selection process aligned to long-term success
• Ensure an exceptional candidate experience that reflects a high-performance, mission-driven culture
• Partner cross-functionally (HR, Regional and Operating Company leadership) to align hiring with growth and value creation goal

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in technical recruiting, with deep expertise in engineering, data, and/or AI hiring
• Proven success hiring for highly specialized, competitive roles (AI/ML, data engineering, cloud, or platform roles)
• Experience operating in high-growth, PE-backed, or build environments (consulting, tech, or tech-enabled services preferred)
• Ability to function as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders, with confidence to challenge and influence
• Strong sourcing capability and track record engaging passive, hard-to-reach talent pools
• Experience building teams from zero to scale or supporting large, multi-role hiring initiatives
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and helping define roles that may not yet be fully formed
• Strong project management, communication, and organizational skills

Preferred Background

• Direct experience recruiting for AI/ML, data platforms, or cloud infrastructure roles
• Exposure to enterprise AI or digital transformation initiatives
• Background supporting cross-functional team builds (engineering + business + delivery roles) aligned to programs like Trilon's AI task force

Perks

• Build from zero: Shape and scale a critical AI capability from the ground up
• High impact: Direct influence on one of the company's most important strategic initiatives
• Executive exposure: Partner closely with senior leadership and decision-makers
• Strategic + executional: Operate as a true talent partner, not just a recruiter
• Long-term upside: Play a key role in value creation within a PE-backed platform
