Founding Recruiter

Join us to build out our in-house recruiting function from scratch. We are at the forefront of digitizing the B2B economy, and in this role you’ll play a pivotal role in ensuring we assemble a world class team to execute against this mission. We approach recruiting as a product, and “slope” – constantly iterating – is the most important thing. You’ll be able to build and evolve our end-to-end hiring framework and work closely with our founders on a day-to-day basis. We expect a collaborative approach with teams across the organization. We’re looking for a self-starter, who is an expert problem solver, clear and empathetic communicator, quick learner and operator, and has demonstrated success dealing with uncertainty.

✨ Why work with us?

You will get the chance to be an early team member at a fast-growth Y-Combinator-backed startup. We truly believe that it’s about slope — not where you start but how fast we and you are growing and iterating
We are growing insanely fast and are well-funded. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join our rocketship and build from the ground up. From a recruiting standpoint this means your scope will be broad from the get-go, as we’re currently hiring across 10+ roles
We’re a tight-knit, intense team, from which you'll learn a ton and have ownership
Work with seasoned second-time founders and operators
