About the Role
This is a true 0-to-1 operator seat sitting directly alongside the founding team of a fast-growing AI startup in the talent and recruiting space. You will own high-leverage, ambiguous projects across product, growth, operations, and partnerships, with the goal of driving outcomes that move the company forward. The role is pivotal at a moment of rapid growth, and it offers a genuine fast track toward becoming a founder, GM, or early executive.
What You'll Do
-
Lead founder-priority projects spanning new market initiatives, strategy, and hands-on execution.
-
Own and improve the candidate experience and conversion funnel end-to-end.
-
Design and implement scalable operational processes to keep pace with rapid growth.
-
Support go-to-market efforts including messaging experiments and partnership development.
-
Translate real-world candidate and company feedback into actionable product priorities.
-
Switch independently across operations, recruiting, strategy, and special projects as needed.
What We're Looking For
-
Approximately 1 to 3 years of relevant professional experience in a hands-on operator role.
-
Prior experience as a Founder Associate, Chief of Staff, or comparable early-stage startup operator.
-
Background that demonstrates substantial ownership of operations rather than primarily product or technical work.
-
Comfortable working across operations, growth, strategy, and recruiting without being directed.
-
Thrives in fast-moving, high-standards environments and enjoys owning complex workflows end-to-end.
-
Motivated by real outcomes, not just contributing to them.
-
Background from a high-performance environment such as consulting, a high-growth startup, or a demanding operational role is a strong plus.
