AI hiring platform powered by expert recruiters. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
As a Founding BizOps, you'll own the relationship engine of our marketplace: managing client accounts and our recruiter network end-to-end, while also running sales demos for the companies you manage. Roughly 50% of your time goes into relationship-driven work — client accounts, recruiter relationships, and demos — and the other 50% goes into the systems and playbooks that help the marketplace scale, working closely with our marketplace operations team.
What they're looking for
- 1-2 years of experience in high-signal, high-agency environments (Operations, Recruiting, private equity, consulting, or similar) — not open to new grads
- Grindy and high-agency, with strong written and verbal communication
- Comfortable managing a high volume of relationships and inbound requests at once
- Warm, sharp, and quick to build trust
- Bachelor’s degree from a US/CAN/UK University
- Excited to work 5 days/week in office
