Qualifications

• 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting across GTM & Ops roles within fast paced startup environments.
• A proven track record of hiring at an exceptional talent bar. The hires you’ve made have gone on to be highly successful in their roles.
• Urgency - you have to be comfortable and able to operate with urgency in a truly hypergrowth environment.

Responsibilities

• Own full-cycle hiring for every GTM and Ops role at Blacksmith - Account Executives, Solutions Engineers, Marketing, Finance, and the business-side hires that keep the company running
• Build outbound sourcing from scratch. We have a limited employer brand, so the pipeline comes from narrow, well-researched headhunting, our own customers, and your network
• Partner directly with the founders to define what "exceptional" looks like for each role: we set an extremely high bar for talent and need a hiring process that ensures we meet this bar as we scale
• Own the hiring process with urgency - you’ll balance exceptional quality with speed. Velocity is key to how we hire
• Be the expert advisor in the business - market trends, talent opportunities/challenges, tradeoffs. You should be able to operate as a consultant to the business
• Build out our network and brand. Look for ways to engage with passive talent and build out opportunities to convert candidates through longer term, strategic sequences
