Job description

About Mistral

Mistral provides full-stack AI solutions: from frontier models to developer tools, applications, and compute. We partner with enterprises tackling the hardest problems across high-stakes industries like finance, manufacturing, defense, healthcare, and the public sector, co-creating customized AI systems that they can run on their terms.

We are a dynamic, collaborative team passionate about AI and its potential to transform society. Our diverse workforce thrives in competitive environments and is committed to driving innovation. Our teams are distributed between Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East. We are creative, low-ego and team-spirited.

The Role

As a member of the US Talent Acquisition team focused on Sales and Go-To-Market hiring, you will be instrumental in building and scaling Mistral’s US-based revenue-generating teams from the ground up. Joining early means you’ll help shape both our GTM recruitment strategy and operations, partnering closely with GTM leadership across Sales, Pre-Sales/Solutions, Partnerships, Customer Success, and Revenue Operations. Your work will directly influence our commercial success by ensuring we find and engage exceptional operators who will drive Mistral’s growth in the US market. In this role, you’ll also foster a strong candidate experience and help establish GTM recruiting best practices as we expand across the US.

What You Will Do

GTM Stakeholder Partnership

• Partner deeply with GTM leaders — from CRO and VP Sales to Pre-Sales and Customer Success leadership — to understand hiring needs, define role specs, and identify the right commercial talent.
• Own full-cycle recruitment across all GTM functions: AEs (Enterprise, Mid-Market, SMB), SDRs, Solutions/Sales Engineers, Partner Managers, CS leaders, and RevOps
• Advise hiring managers on market mapping, leveling, comp positioning, and competitive landscape for US GTM talent
• Translate the nuances of each GTM role into compelling, accurate candidate outreach

End-to-End GTM Recruitment

• Own the full recruiting lifecycle from sourcing to close, operating with autonomy on complex, high-volume GTM roles.
• Source passive and active candidates across US GTM talent pools, particularly in AI/ML, open-source software, and enterprise infrastructure markets
• Conduct intake and calibration sessions with hiring managers to align on ideal candidate profiles and stage expectations
• Drive efficient, high-conversion pipelines and close candidates in a fiercely competitive market for senior GTM talent

Candidate Experience & Selling Mistral

• Guide candidates through the hiring process with clear communication and a compelling narrative about Mistral’s mission, culture, and trajectory.
• Articulate Mistral’s positioning in the AI landscape — frontier models, open-weight philosophy, and enterprise credibility — to differentiate us against better-known competitors
• Provide candidates with real insight into our GTM motion, growth plans, and the specific impact of their role
• Deliver a high-quality, respectful candidate experience at every stage, regardless of outcome

Recruiting Operations & Data-Driven Improvement

• Develop and refine GTM recruiting processes, tools, and documentation to improve outcomes and efficiency.
• Use data to diagnose pipeline issues (e.g., drop-off at specific stages, time-to-fill by role) and propose targeted solutions
• Build and maintain market maps, competitive intel, and talent pools for key US GTM segments
• Standardize GTM interview rubrics, scorecards, and debrief practices across US GTM hiring teams

Raising the Bar

• Collaborate with GTM leadership and the broader Talent team to continuously elevate our hiring standards.
• Contribute to defining and evolving our GTM talent acquisition strategy in the US as we scale from early commercial team to mature GTM org
• Partner on employer-brand and outbound sourcing initiatives that position Mistral as a destination for top GTM talent

What We’re Looking For

• 6+ years of recruiting experience, including 2+ years in a startup or high-growth B2B SaaS/infrastructure company, with a focus on Sales and GTM roles
• Demonstrated ability to independently hire across the full GTM stack — from SDRs to senior AEs, Solutions Engineers, and GTM leadership
• Deep network and sourcing expertise in US GTM talent markets, particularly in AI/ML, open-source, developer tools, or enterprise software
• Track record of hiring in competitive, candidate-scarce markets where GTM candidates have multiple offers
• Experience working across multiple US markets
• Willingness to work on other roles as needs come up
• Comfort navigating ambiguity and switching between strategic planning and hands‑on execution
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence peers and senior GTM stakeholders without direct authority
• Organized, detail-oriented, and able to juggle shifting priorities across a high-volume hiring slate
• Professional experience with modern recruiting tools such as Ashby
• Familiarity with the AI/ML landscape and the ability to credibly discuss frontier model capabilities with technical GTM candidates
