Director, Talent Acquisition

Dianthus Therapeutics, Inc.
Waltham, MA
About Us

We are developing potentially best in class therapies for patients living with severe autoimmune diseases. Our lead antibody, claseprubart (DNTH103), is purposefully engineered with extended half-life, improved potency, and high selectivity for only the active C1s complement protein that drives disease pathology – enabling less frequent and more convenient self-administered subcutaneous injections. Our second clinical candidate, DNTH212 is a first and potentially best in class, bifunctional inhibitor that targets clinically validated and complementary disease modifying mechanisms, Type 1 IFN suppression and B cell modulation – enabling potential for improved clinical outcomes and patient friendly convenient, self-administered subcutaneous injections. To learn more, please visit and follow us on LinkedIn.

About the Role

As the Director, Talent Acquisition, you will lead and scale full-cycle recruiting during a pivotal growth phase as we advance a Phase 3 clinical program.

Reporting to the CPO, you will drive talent acquisition across all functions while building scalable recruiting practices, managing external search partners, and delivering an exceptional candidate experience. Success in this role requires prior experience independently leading the talent acquisition function, making hiring strategy and process decisions.

This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives in a fast-moving biotech environment and is comfortable flexing beyond recruiting to support broader HR initiatives such as onboarding and employer branding. We are building a culture of individuals who hold our core principles at the center of our operations, with the goal to elevate the care of our patients' lives. We are open to you working remotely.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage full-cycle recruiting for roles in the US, UK, and Canada, across all functional areas, including Clinical Development, Quality, Technical Operations, Commercial, and Corporate functions.
  • Drive the interview and offer process, including scheduling, crafting job descriptions, conducting interviews, sharing feedback, and negotiating compensation packages.
  • Manage and optimize the use of external recruiters and search firms, ensuring quality, cost-effectiveness, and alignment with company standards.
  • Scale and evolve recruiting practices as the company approaches commercialization.
  • Own the end-to-end candidate experience, ensuring a high-touch, professional, and engaging process that reflects the company's values.
  • Partner with HR and leadership to help build and articulate the employer brand, including messaging, recruiting materials, and presence on relevant platforms.
  • Support onboarding processes to ensure a seamless transition from offer acceptance to employee integration.
  • Develop and track recruiting metrics (time to fill, quality of hire, candidate experience, etc.) and use data to drive improvements.
  • Ensure compliance with applicable employment laws and internal policies throughout the recruiting process.

Experience

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent.
  • 8+ years of progressive talent acquisition experience within biotech, pharma, or life sciences.
  • Experience leading the Talent Acquisition function and decision-making processes.
  • Proven experience recruiting across technical, scientific, and commercial roles.
  • Demonstrated success scaling recruiting practices in a growing organization (late-stage or pre-commercial preferred).
  • Experience managing external recruiters and search firms.
  • Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence senior leaders.
  • Highly organized, adaptable, and comfortable operating in ambiguity.
  • High attention to detail, strong sense of urgency, and stellar time management / organizational skills.
  • Collaborative mindset with a willingness to roll up sleeves and support broader HR needs.
