Executive searches, from the job boards
Open roles with a C-level, president, general manager, VP, or “head of” title at the New York AI companies we track. A leadership search says more about where a company is headed than a press release does: a first head of legal, a chief marketing officer, a VP of sales in a new region. We began recording titles on August 15, 2026, so a role shown as open since that date may be older.

A posting coming down means filled, cancelled, or reposted; it does not say who was hired.

Looking for funding rounds and people moves?
The sourced record of New York AI funding rounds, acquisitions, expansions, and announced leadership moves is on the NYC AI funding, deals and people moves tracker, and the week’s additions go out in the Monday newsletter.
How this is compiled
Read from the job boards, every morning. Searches come from the same daily reading of company job boards as the Hiring Index, filtered to executive titles. They cover only companies that post through Greenhouse, Ashby, or Lever, and only roles that are posted publicly; many executive searches never are.
Roles, not people. We report that a search opened or came down. We do not infer who was hired, and we do not track individuals.
The full rules are in our methodology, and our interests in this market are set out in our disclosures. Found an error? Tell us. Know of a search we are missing? Send a tip.
Questions
What does the tracker cover?
The executive searches open on the job boards of the New York AI companies we track: roles with a C-level, president, general manager, VP, or “head of” title. It is refreshed every morning from the same data as our Hiring Index, and it records when each search opened and when it came down.
Does a job posting coming down mean someone was hired?
No. A posting disappears when a role is filled, cancelled, or reposted under a new link, and we cannot tell those apart. The tracker reports that a search opened or came down and how long it ran. It never says who was hired, and we do not infer moves from job boards or from anyone’s profile.
Where are the funding rounds and announced leadership moves?
The curated record of New York AI funding rounds, acquisitions, expansions, and announced leadership moves is a separate tracker, at aiinnyc.org/nyc-ai-deals, where every entry links to its source. This page keeps the executive-search data.
Why track executive searches at all?
A leadership search says more about where a company is headed than a press release does. A first head of legal often comes before a financing or a regulated launch; a chief revenue officer means the founders are handing off sales; a VP of engineering in a new city is an expansion before it is announced.
Which companies are included?
The New York AI companies in our Hiring Index whose job boards run on Greenhouse, Ashby, or Lever, which we can read every day. Companies that post elsewhere, or run searches through a recruiter without a public posting, will not appear. Many executive searches are never posted publicly, so this is a floor, not a census.
