Recruiting Lead

Harper is an AI-native commercial insurance company in San Francisco. We're not bolting AI onto insurance — we're rebuilding the entire business as software, on a simple bet: turning expert human judgment into compute is one of the largest transitions left to make, and a trillion-dollar industry still run 90% by hand is the place to prove it. We've grown ~100x in the last year and we move at that speed — on-site, in person, long days, very high standards. Almost no one joins Harper for insurance; they join to build the company that replaces how it works.

The role in one line

You are Harper's first dedicated recruiting hire. You source, sell, and close exceptional people yourself this week — and you build the function that lets Harper go from ~30 to 100+ without losing the bar.

Why this role exists now

A rebuild this large is a talent problem before it's anything else. We're hiring against the best AI-native companies in the country for the same people, and at ~100x growth the cost of a mediocre hire — or a slow one — compounds fast. We don't have a recruiting function yet. You'll be it, then you'll build it.
