Principal Executive Recruiter

Babylist is the leading registry, e-commerce, and content platform for growing families. More than 9 million people shop with Babylist every year, making it the go-to destination for seamless purchasing, trusted guidance, and expert product recommendations for new parents and the people who love them. What began as a universal registry has grown into a full ecosystem for new parents, including the Babylist Shop, Babylist Health, and a flagship showroom in Los Angeles. Hundreds of brands in baby and beyond partner with Babylist to engage meaningfully with families during one of life's most important transitions. With over $1 billion in annual GMV, and more than $500 million in 2024 revenue, Babylist is reshaping the $320 billion baby product industry. We're helping parents feel confident, connected, and cared for at every step. As we build the generational brand in baby, our mission remains simple: to connect growing families with everything they need to thrive.

Babylist is remote-first with team members across the U.S. and Canada who move fast, think smart, and use AI as part of how they work every day not as an experiment, as an expectation. We come together twice a year to build the relationships behind the work, and we hire people who are genuinely excited about what's possible and prove it through how they show up.

Babylist is at an inflection point. We've built a category-defining brand with over $500M in revenue, and we're now expanding into entirely new verticals, which means we need to build the leadership team that will take us there. This is where you come in.

As our Principal Executive Recruiter, you'll own the most consequential searches at Babylist. Director through C-suite roles across Product, Marketing, Operations, and new business lines we're standing up from scratch. You'll work directly with our executive team, not as a support function but as a true thought partner, helping them think clearly about what they actually need, shaping role narratives before they go to market, and closing leaders who will define our next chapter.

This is not a role for someone who executes against a clean spec. Many of the searches you'll run will start with ambiguity: undefined scope, no comp benchmark, shifting organizational context. You'll be the one who brings clarity. You'll write the spec, build the market map, lead the intake, and manage the process end-to-end with the kind of executive presence that makes senior leaders trust you completely.

If you've spent your career doing exactly this kind of work and you're ready to do it inside a company you actually believe in, this role was built for you.

We work with focus and intention, then step away to recharge. We believe in exceptional management and invest in tools and opportunities to connect with colleagues. We build products that positively impact millions of people's lives. AI is intentionally embedded in how we work, create, and scalesupporting innovation and impact.

Competitive pay and meaningful opportunities for career advancement. We believe technology and data can solve hard problems. We're committed to career progression and performance-based advancement.

Competitive salary with equity and bonus opportunities. Company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance. Retirement savings plan with company matching and flexible spending accounts. Generous paid parental leave and PTO. Remote work stipend to set up your office. Perks for physical, mental, and emotional health, parenting, childcare, and financial planning.
