Talent Associate

Ambrook

Ambrook helps American family-run businesses become more profitable and resilient. From volatile markets to climate shifts, independent operators face mounting pressure. While sustainable investments often yield the best long-term returns, they require financial clarity and capital that fragmented legacy systems can't provide.

We are rebuilding the financial infrastructure that independent operators rely on. By replacing paperwork with modern tools for accounting, banking, and spending, Ambrook gives owners the data they need to prove viability to lenders and the next generation. We empower the stewards of land and labor to make confident investments in their future.

We're a Series A startup backed by Thrive Capital, Dylan Field, and Homebrew. We're looking for early team members to help us untangle the intersection of American industry, climate, and the economy.

The Opportunity

We're hiring a Talent Associate to help build the team behind Ambrook's next phase of growth. You'll work directly with our founding recruiter to own sourcing and coordination across both technical and commercial roles. You'll spend your time finding strong candidates, keeping the process moving, and creating an exceptional candidate experience from first touch through onsite.

Recruiting is changing. As you grow, there are real paths forward: full-cycle recruiting, RecOps & talent engineering, or deeper sourcing expertise, depending on your strengths, goals, and where the company needs you most. Our team is building automations using Claude, Zapier, and Ashby and we'll get you set up on our team's Github account as part of onboarding. If you've been searching for a recruiting role where building is part of the job, this is it.

We're looking for someone genuinely energized by operational craft. A couple things that might make you a great fit:

• You make coordination invisible. Candidates and hiring managers experience the process as effortless because you pre-empt every break before it happens, and you use every slip in the logistics as a chance to change and tighten how we operate.
• You know what good looks like. You can read a background and tell quickly whether it's worth reaching out, and you balance volume and quality without sacrificing either. Your sequences, follow-ups, and sourcing projects stay organized because you can't leave a messy pipeline alone.

Within 1 Month You'll

• Ramp on Ambrook's product, mission, and hiring process by shadowing the founding recruiter and interviewers to calibrate on what good looks like.
• Get fully up to speed on Ashby and take over scheduling and coordination across active reqs.
• Launch sourcing and outreach campaigns for your first 23 roles across technical and/or commercial.
• Start mapping improvements and identify the first 2-3 candidates for automation or tooling improvement.

Within 3 Months You'll

• Own scheduling and coordination across all active pipelines.
• Run consistent weekly volume of outbound sourcing across technical and commercial roles.
• Hold top-of-funnel conversations with sourced candidates and hand qualified prospects to the founding recruiter for full screens.
• Shipped at least 1-2 automations or tooling improvements that measurably reduced manual work and increased the number of sourced candidates in the pipeline.

Within 6 Months You'll

• Own top-of-funnel strategy across your roles sourcing channels, outreach approach, pipeline health & reporting.
• Prototyped or co-built at least one larger system such as a sourcing agent, a market intelligence feed, or an AI-powered candidate personalization workflow.
• Build reusable sourcing playbooks that compound beyond individual searches.
• Be presenting pipeline health and funnel data to the recruiting team and hiring managers.

About You

• 14 years of experience in sourcing or recruiting coordination, with a strong bias toward proactive, pipeline-generation work and operational precision.
• Actively use AI tools in your workflow and have started building with them, not just using them. You've automated or systematized part of a sourcing or coordination process and you can describe exactly what you built and what it unlocked.
• Demonstrated ability to identify and engage passive talent in competitive markets.
• Strong enough understanding of technical roles to speak credibly with engineers about what they work on and why it matters.
• Experienced with LinkedIn as well as modern platforms like Juicebox, Metaview, Wrangle, Gem, etc.
• Clear, effective written communicator who can represent Ambrook's voice in candidate-facing messages.
• Run a clean kitchen. Keep the pipeline organized by managing your sequences and follow-ups, tagging candidates, and submitting well-written feedback.
• Quality and quantity. You can hit your outbound goals, but your outreach reads like a person wrote it. You take the time to look for real connections and touchpoints with candidates.
• Genuinely energized by coordination and the operational side of recruiting not just tolerating it as a path to something else.
• Bonus: Experience sourcing for fintech, GTM/commercial roles, or early-stage startups. You'll have the opportunity here to work on both technical and non-technical roles depending on experience.
