What you'll do

  • Own a portfolio of client relationships end to end: brief, delivery, feedback, and everything after
  • Take role briefs and kick-offs that actually hold up. Scope the role, interrogate the requirements, and tell a client when the role is really two roles, or shouldn't be hired at all
  • Run the process on the client side: keep feedback fast, keep interviews moving, and keep momentum from breaking
  • Use funnel data to diagnose stalling roles and walk clients through where they're losing people and why
  • Negotiate and close offers so that neither side feels managed
  • Grow accounts from one search into the whole hiring plan
  • Work directly with product and engineering teams, raising workflow issues and helping decide what gets built

What we're looking for

  • 2+ years in tech or engineering recruitment, either in-house at a startup or scaleup or at a specialist tech agency
  • Hired for roles like backend, infra, ML/AI engineers, researchers or founding engineers, and the ability to hold a credible conversation with a CTO about what a role really needs
  • Strong command of funnel metrics: you know what good conversion looks like at each stage and what to do when it isn't happening
  • Commercial sharpness and the confidence to push back on senior people early, rather than having the expensive conversation late
  • Curiosity about AI tooling. You'll be a daily power user of a product that's being built around you
