Why This Opportunity Matters

Recruitment is shifting from manual searching to tech-enabled talent advisory. At Weekday, we combine an AI-native sourcing engine - covering 98% of India's white-collar workforce - with high-touch account management to help venture-backed startups build elite teams.

We are already profitable , growing rapidly across India and the US, and pairing YC-backed founders directly with top talent.

As a Key Account Manager , you won’t be pushing paper or managing bloated recruiter headcount. You will step into the arena as a trusted talent advisor to high-growth startup founders , using AI-driven tools to close mission-critical roles. Whether your background is in agency recruitment, corporate talent acquisition, SaaS account management, or client success , if you have strong consultative instincts and love closing deals, this role gives you the platform and tech stack to scale your impact.

Candidate Qualification Framework

Instead of rigid years-of-experience checklists, we look for core competencies and growth potential :

Must-Have Criteria (Non-Negotiable)

• End-to-End Pipeline Ownership: Experience managing a multi-stage process from initial discovery/briefing through to negotiation and closure (in talent acquisition, agency recruiting, or consultative sales/account management).

• Consultative Communication: Ability to articulate complex ideas clearly, challenge client assumptions constructively, and guide decision-makers using data and market realities.

• Problem-Solving & Adaptability: Proven ability to troubleshoot stalled processes, pivot strategies when initial approaches don’t yield results, and navigate ambiguity in fast-moving environments.

• Ownership & High Agency: Comfort operating independently, managing your own portfolio, and driving towards clear performance and revenue metrics.

Good-to-Have Criteria (Growth Multipliers)

• Recruitment Experience: Prior background in agency recruiting, executive search, or in-house talent acquisition across tech or non-tech domains.

• Client-Facing / Founder Exposure: Experience directly managing relationships with founders, CXOs, or hiring managers.

• Modern Tooling Aptitude: Familiarity with modern recruitment platforms, ATS systems, or CRM databases.

• Business & Market Acumen: Understanding of startup ecosystems, business models, and hiring landscapes.
