About Arketa

Arketa is building the operating system for modern fitness and wellness. Our mission is to make wellness more accessible by empowering studios and wellness entrepreneurs to grow beyond in-person classes. We provide a powerful, all-in-one platform to manage and scale hybrid wellness businesses — whether online, in-person, or both. With Arketa, studios can manage schedules, accept bookings and payments, build on-demand video libraries, host retreats, run automated marketing, and launch fully branded apps and websites. We make it simple for founders to deliver a seamless, professional experience across every customer touchpoint. We’ve raised $15M in Series A funding and are growing quickly. It’s a unique moment to join us — we’re building a category-defining company in a fast-moving space, and we’re looking for teammates who are excited to help shape the future of wellness.

The Role: Recruiting Lead (Technical & GTM) — Founding Team

Arketa is hiring a Recruiting Lead to build and run the talent engine that powers our next phase of growth. You will partner directly with founders and executives, own searches end-to-end across engineering and go-to-market roles, and design the recruiting foundation that scales us from where we are today to our next chapter. This is a deeply impactful role with significant ownership, where the quality of your hires will directly influence Arketa’s trajectory. We’re looking for someone who is technical enough to recruit high-caliber engineers, versatile enough to hire sales and customer-facing roles, and senior enough to operate independently in a fast-paced environment. You’ll be both a builder and an operator — running searches while shaping the systems, processes, and brand that define Arketa’s hiring motion. If you thrive in high-velocity environments, enjoy wearing many hats, and want to shape the early team at a growing company, we’d love to talk.
