Job description

Location: Hybrid in New York, or remote from Atlanta, San Francisco, or West Palm Beach, FL

Goanna Capital Management LLC (“Goanna”) is one of the fastest growing private investment firms in the world. We back category-defining technology companies and partner closely with founders to help them scale with speed and precision. The firm has invested in some of the world’s most influential and innovative businesses including OpenAI, Anthropic, Cribl, Ramp, and others. We are currently investing out of our fifth fund, with Bloomberg recently covering our newest raise focused on deploying more than $1.3 billion into highly coveted, next‑generation startups (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-13/goanna-seeks-1-3-billion-for-bets-on-highly-coveted-startups).

Talent is one of the greatest drivers of long‑term company success. At Goanna, we built Go-Hired to help founders access world‑class operators faster and more efficiently. Our Talent Partner team operates at the center of this strategy.

Role Overview:

We are hiring a Talent Partner to join our growing team. This role operates at the intersection of technology, private equity, and community building. You will work directly with founders and executive teams across our portfolio to identify, engage, and introduce exceptional candidates across key functions including engineering, GTM, finance, security, operations, and more.

You will also play a central role in developing the Go-Hired Talent Community (“The Collective”). This is our curated network of high‑performing operators and leaders who help shape the next generation of market‑leading technology companies.

This is a high‑impact role for someone who wants to influence growth at scale and build meaningful relationships with top operators across the industry.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage a list of portfolio companies acting as a talent advisor, partner, and recruiter.
• Source, evaluate, and introduce top talent to portfolio companies across critical functions.
• Build, manage, and expand the Go-Hired Talent Community, maintaining a high‑touch, “white glove” experience for members.
• Support internal talent operations: tracking pipelines, optimizing CRM/workflow tools, and reporting progress to leadership.
• Help coordinate founder events, executive roundtables, and off‑sites to strengthen the Goanna and Go‑Hired network.

Qualifications (REQUIRED):

• 4+ years of recruiting experience within a startup, technology, or agency company.
• Strong communication skills and executive presence; able to engage confidently with founders, C‑levels, and senior operators.
• Highly organized and detail‑oriented; comfortable managing multiple searches and projects in a fast‑paced environment.
• Proficiency in tools like Excel, PowerPoint, HubSpot, Clay, and recruiting software (LinkedIn Recruiter, Juicebox, Wiza, RecruitCRM, etc.).
• Passion for technology and a strong interest in supporting high‑growth companies at scale.
• Comfort in the uncomfortable. Ability to "wear multiple hats" across Goanna's mission.
• Competitive salary and performance‑based bonuses.
• A culture of trust, collaboration, and innovation.
• Significant room for growth across Goanna’s talent and investment platform.
