Job description

Strategic Operations Lead San Francisco, CA

Strategic Operations Lead
Full-time
On-site
San Francisco, CA
$110k - $180k
About this role
we’re building the infrastructure behind the next generation of recruiting firms. Our platform powers top recruiters placing talent into startups like Ramp, Decagon, and Hightouch — and we do it by treating recruiters like high-performance partners, not vendors.

This role sits at the center of our supply-side operations. You’ll work directly with elite recruiters, helping them scale their businesses, close top-tier talent, and win more clients. It’s part operator, part strategist, part growth partner — and it’s one of the highest-leverage roles in the company.

If you’re someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, likes owning complex workflows, and is motivated by real outcomes — hires made, revenue generated, businesses built — this is the role for you.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic growth (40%): Own relationships with our highest-performing recruiters. You’ll be their first call for operational firepower, product insight, and strategic support.

Marketplace Operations (40%): Identify bottlenecks, automate workflows, and build systems that help recruiters move faster — and help us scale supply without adding headcount.

Platform Expansion (20%): Educate and onboard new recruiters, helping them understand how Paraform can grow their revenue and simplify their workflow. You'll pitch the platform as a business accelerator — because that’s what it is.
