About this role
ABOUT THE ROLE
Join the demand-side team at an AI-powered talent marketplace connecting startups with qualified candidates. You will lead company acquisition and client success, building a repeatable growth engine while working across strategy and hands-on execution.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Own company acquisition from prospecting through onboarding and client activation.
- Build trusted relationships with founders, executives, and talent leaders at high-growth companies.
- Understand hiring needs and translate them into successful candidate searches.
- Generate qualified demand through outbound, referrals, partnerships, events, content, and other go-to-market channels.
- Personally execute outreach, including cold calls, tailored email and LinkedIn sequences, and event participation.
- Test messaging, channels, customer segments, and commercial approaches, then turn successful experiments into repeatable processes.
- Work with talent and product teams to improve matching quality, client experience, and marketplace liquidity.
- Track the demand funnel and improve conversion at each stage.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Project-management or project-lead experience, plus 1 to 2 or more years in a client-facing, commercial, consulting, operations, or growth role.
- Experience in a demanding, fast-paced setting, such as a venture-backed startup, management consulting, investment banking, or venture capital.
- Hands-on experience with outbound client acquisition or demand generation, ideally engaging founders or senior leaders.
- Strong written and verbal communication, relationship-building, and project execution skills.
- Comfort moving between go-to-market strategy and hands-on work, including personally conducting early-stage outreach.
- Recent in-person work experience and ability to work on-site in San Francisco.

About this listing
Published on Ashby under the board identifier Clera, which is the name the employer’s own job board carries. RoleSprint has not verified the company’s registered or trading name, so it is shown exactly as published rather than tidied up.
RoleSprint is not the employer and not a recruiter. Applications are made on the employer’s own site and never reach us; what RoleSprint does is help you decide whether a role is worth your time and prepare for it if it is.
