Job description

About Gushwork.ai

Backed by Lightspeed, SIG, Beenext, and B Capital ($10M+ raised), Gushwork.ai builds AI Agents that automate inbound marketing for SMBs – replacing agencies with intelligent software.

We’re a team of 60, scaling fast, having achieved $1.5M ARR in our first year, and targeting $15M ARR in the next twelve months.

The Role

We are looking for a Talent Acquisition Lead (5–10 years experience) who thinks like a Growth Marketer. You won’t just be "filling roles"; you will be designing and operating the talent acquisition funnel that will fuel our 2.5x headcount growth.

This is a Player-Coach role. You will personally drive high-impact senior hires across Growth, Sales, and Product Engineering, while simultaneously managing and mentoring a team of 2–3 TA Executives.

Why Join Gushwork?

• Hyper-Growth: You are joining at the most exciting phase of a startup—post-seed, scaling from $1M to $10M+ ARR.
• Build the Blueprint: You aren’t following a HR handbook; you are helping the company build the talent assembly line for a new category of AI company.
• Top-Tier Backing: Work with a company supported by the world’s best VCs (Lightspeed, SIG).
• High Leverage: This role has a massive impact on our unit economics. Your ability to hire the right people directly dictates our ability to scale.

Compensation

• Competitive Fixed Salary + Performance-Linked Incentives (we reward output and quality).
• Equity options in a fast-growing, venture-backed leader in the AI space.
