Talent Operator

$80k - $110k

David Joseph & Company

Job Description

Job Description

San Francisco, CA · On-site · Full-time Compensation: $80,000–$110,000 base + OTE ~$140,000–$170,000+ (uncapped) + equity (0.01%–0.15%)

About the Company

Our client is building an AI-powered recruiting marketplace that connects elite startup recruiters with fast-growing companies through software and operational tooling. Its customers include 150+ venture-backed startups hiring across engineering and GTM roles.

Founded 2025 · 11–50 people (Seed) · Industry: Recruiting Marketplace / AI

The Role

Talent Operators are the engine of the marketplace: they run full-cycle recruiting for partner companies while actively stress-testing the client's internal AI and tooling, then grow into broader operational or leadership scope.

Tech stack: Internal AI recruiting platform + ATS; integrations with Ashby, Lever, Calendly, Slack.

Requirements
  • 0 to 2 years in operations, recruiting, or another high-signal background (consulting, startup sales, etc.)
  • High agency and output-driven execution
  • Comfortable managing high-volume, fast-moving workloads
  • Low ego and highly coachable
  • Based in or relocating to San Francisco
Nice to Haves
  • Extremely high agency — moves without being told and finds the answer before asking
  • Competitive by nature, motivated by output, numbers, and results
  • Energized by fast-moving, high-volume environments rather than drained by them
  • Low ego and coachable — takes feedback immediately and applies it
  • Curious about recruiting, talent markets, and how startups hire
  • A new grad or early-career candidate with a strong academic foundation or a boutique-agency background
  • Committed to building diverse, inclusive teams (candidates from underrepresented backgrounds strongly encouraged to apply)
Why Join
  • A proving ground for leadership: explicitly a launchpad into Account Management, Recruitment Management, or Marketplace Operations based on where you spike
  • Uncapped, merit-based upside: earnings tied directly to revenue from successful placements — OTE ~$140K–$170K+, uncapped
  • A ground-floor seat: be the primary power user shaping the AI and recruiting tooling as it scales from 200 to 1,000+ customers
Details
  • Location — San Francisco, CA
  • Work policy — On-site
  • Compensation — $80,000–$110,000 base + OTE ~$140,000–$170,000+ (uncapped) + equity (0.01%–0.15%)
  • Visa sponsorship — Not available
