About the Role
This is a true 0-to-1 operator seat sitting directly alongside the founding team of a pre-seed AI recruiting startup. You will work across product, growth, operations, and key partnerships, driving high-impact projects end-to-end and helping shape the foundation of a category-defining platform in the global talent market.
What You'll Do
-
Lead founder-priority projects spanning new market initiatives, strategy, and execution.
-
Own and improve the candidate experience and conversion funnel to drive better outcomes.
-
Design and implement scalable operational processes that keep pace with rapid growth.
-
Support go-to-market efforts including messaging refinement, growth experiments, and partnerships.
-
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.
-
Demonstrated ownership of operations end-to-end, rather than a primarily product or technical background.
-
Background at high-performance organizations, such as top-tier consulting firms, fast-scaling tech companies, or venture-backed startups.
-
Comfortable moving fast, thinking sharply, and holding yourself to high standards.
-
Motivated by driving real outcomes, not just supporting others.
-
Ambition toward becoming a founder, GM, or early executive.
