## About the role

Judgement: Form an independent view of exceptional talent before the credentials make it obvious. Back your judgment with evidence, track your accuracy, and learn when you're wrong. Build the Talent Map: Know the best people in our target markets, where they are, and what would move them. Most will not be looking. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- The exceptional people we assemble are the source of Distyl's competitive advantage. The quality of our work is set by who we find before anyone else does
- Most companies run recruiting as a process that fills seats. We want a hunter: someone who would rather spend a month landing one exceptional person than a week closing three adequate ones
- Outsized Results in a Funnel You Owned: Pipeline from nothing, conversion well above peers. Bring the numbers
- Judgment: You recognize exceptional people others overlook. You've been right when others weren't, and can explain both your best calls and your mistakes
- Persistent Without Ego: You find a sixth way through a closed door, know when to change your mind, and earn the respect of people you don't land
- Demonstrated Excellence Before This: Academic, commercial, entrepreneurial, competitive, or otherwise
