Job summary

Wealthfront is looking for a Talent Intelligence Analyst to support hiring across Wealthfront, with a specific focus on our engineering organization. You'll work closely with executive partners across the company.

Estimated annual salary range: $110,000 - $140,000 USD plus equity and a discretionary bonus. The role requires 2+ years of written-analytical experience, systems thinking, and strong written communication.

Qualifications

• 2+ years producing written analyses that someone acted on — executive search research, talent intelligence, technical sourcing, equity research, consulting, or a similar analytical role.
• A systems thinking orientation with the ability to analyze discrete decisions and their downstream consequences.
• An ability to take messy inputs and shape them into a clear, concise output.
• Ability to read a technical background and find the signal: a GitHub history, a conference talk, an engineering blog post, a promotion trajectory.
• Strong written communication, with a habit of writing with high specificity.
• Comfortable calibrating with senior leaders: clearly stating how confident you are and what evidence would change it.
• Willingness to disagree constructively, including with a hiring partner who likes a candidate you don’t.
• Bachelor's or Master’s Degree

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain talent maps for key functions—which companies, teams, and products actually produce the profile we need, and which present as adjacent but in reality are not
• Write conviction packets for the candidates you advance: what they've built, the evidence behind it, the specific risks, and what an interview would need to resolve
• Make and defend the negative call — we care as much about who you screened out and why as who you passed forward
• Help leaders better frame roles and requirements based on talent market insights
• Identify passive candidates through technical communities, conference talks, open source contributions, and published work — not just search results
• Pull and structure the underlying data: talent flows between competitors, team growth signals, comp and title benchmarks, where a given skill set is concentrated
• Contribute to the team's frameworks, templates, and sourcing playbooks
