Full-Time,
In-person, San Francisco, CA.

Compensation: base $80,000-$110,000; total comp (OTE) ~ $140,000-$170,000+ (uncapped).

The Role: As a Talent Operator, you are the engine of the marketplace. You will run full-cycle recruiting for the company's partners while actively stress-testing its internal AI and tooling. You'll be on the front lines, mastering the recruiting landscape before transitioning into broader operational or leadership roles. Once you master the recruitment landscape, scope increases based on where you spike best — this could be account management, working with the recruiter network, or scaling internal systems. This is a role for someone who loves to win, thrives in fast-paced environments, and wants to see their direct impact on a company's bottom line every day.
Compensation: Base $80,000-$110,000; total comp (OTE) ~ $140,000-$170,000+ (earnings are uncapped). Earnings-based compensation is directly tied to revenue generated off successful placements.
Growth Path: The Talent Operator role is a proving ground for future leaders. As an early team member, your path is based on where you spike and what you're passionate about: Account Management (own end-to-end relationships with partner companies and recruiters), Recruitment Management (scale and lead a team of Talent Operators), or Marketplace Operations (drive the supply and demand strategy for the marketplace).
Company stage: Seed. Work type: In-person (San Francisco, CA). No visa sponsorship available.
