Position Overview

We’re looking for a hands-on, high-ownership Talent Consultant to drive non-tech hiring, with a strong focus on GTM (Sales, Growth, Marketing, Revenue) and leadership roles. This is a pure IC role - you will independently own searches end-to-end and partner closely with business leaders to help scale teams in a fast-moving startup environment.

If you enjoy ambiguous problem-solving, closing tough roles, and working remotely with high-accountability teams, this role is for you.

Key Responsibilities

  • Drive end-to-end hiring for Growth, Marketing, Partnerships, Customer Success, Ops, and Business roles.
  • Manage multiple roles in parallel and close roles with speed and quality.
  • Independently run mid-senior and leadership searches (Manager to Director levels).
  • Build and maintain strong pipelines for high-impact roles.
  • Own hands-on sourcing across LinkedIn, referrals, networks, and creative channels.
  • Conduct market mapping and talent intelligence for niche and competitive roles.
  • Deliver a high-quality candidate experience through structured communication and timely feedback.
  • Drive consistency and rigor across hiring processes, interviews, and evaluations.

Qualifications

  • 4+ years of experience in non-tech recruiting, ideally in startups or high-growth environments.
  • Proven experience hiring for Sales, Marketing, Growth, Business, Operations, and Revenue roles.
  • Demonstrated success in mid-senior and leadership hiring.
  • Excellent stakeholder management skills, with experience working directly with senior leadership (CXOs / Business Heads).
  • Experience in market mapping, talent research, and competitive intelligence.
  • Ability to operate independently and manage multiple complex roles in a high-growth, fast-paced environment.
  • Comfortable working remotely, independently, and with minimal hand-holding.
  • Bias for action, ownership mindset, and ability to thrive in ambiguity.
