About the Role
This is a founding-team opportunity at a pre-seed AI recruiting startup reshaping how talent connects with high-growth companies. You will work directly alongside the existing co-founders to build, scale, and define the company from the ground up. The role carries real ownership and outsized influence over product, strategy, and culture.
What You'll Do
Partner with co-founders to set company strategy, product direction, and go-to-market approach.
Help grow and manage relationships with startup clients and the broader venture-backed ecosystem.
Contribute to building and refining the AI-powered matching platform and core product capabilities.
Drive candidate and company acquisition, working to expand the network on both sides of the marketplace.
Wear multiple hats across operations, recruiting, and business development as the team scales.
What We're Looking For
Demonstrated experience in a high-performance environment, such as top-tier consulting, tech, or a fast-growing startup.
Strong instincts for product and the ability to think rigorously about user experience and market positioning.
Comfort operating at zero-to-one: scrappy, resourceful, and energized by ambiguity.
Genuine passion for talent, recruiting, or the future of work.
Excellent communication and relationship-building skills, particularly with founders and operators.
Prior startup or entrepreneurial experience is a strong plus.
Location
Based in San Francisco, California. On-site presence expected given the early-stage, collaborative nature of the team.
