## About the role

As a Talent Partner, you will run concurrent searches for Drive portfolio companies. Your roots are in technical recruiting, but your range is wide: one week you might be sourcing an AI/ML researcher for a robotics company or a founding full-stack engineer for an AI startup, and the next an enterprise account executive, a founding talent acquisition lead, or a growth marketer. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 5–8 years of full-cycle recruiting, with experience both in-house at a high-growth company and at an agency, search firm, or VC talent team
- A strong technical recruiting foundation, ideally at venture-backed startups, plus the range to recruit for go-to-market, G&A, and operations roles
- A sourcing-first mindset. You are energized by outbound, you build pipelines from nothing, and your outreach gets responses from people who are not looking
- A track record of closing hard-to-fill roles, such as senior or founding engineers, specialized AI/ML or robotics talent, or senior business leaders
- Hands-on fluency with AI. You already use tools like Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor in your daily work, and you have built at least one workflow, automation, or agent that changed how you recruit
- A team player. You enjoy partnering on a search, share credit easily, and have a high bar for performance and output
