Senior Enterprise Account Executive, US

Talentful is shaping the future of how high-growth companies build world-class teams. We partner with some of the fastest-scaling technology businesses to turn talent into a durable competitive advantage and help them win in the market by attracting, engaging, and retaining the top talent who accelerate growth.
Founded in 2015, Talentful brings together seasoned talent leaders who embed seamlessly alongside in-house teams.
Through a flexible, subscription-based model, we provide the strategic horsepower and operational execution needed to scale with precision—from executive hiring and workforce planning to improving talent processes, employer brand activation, and building inclusive, high-performing organizations.
Our focus is not simply filling roles, but enabling talent functions to deliver measurable business outcomes.
We’ve helped global innovators scale efficiently and thoughtfully, including Alphabet, Microsoft, Pinterest, Atlassian, Expedia, Instacart, Miro, and many more.
With a global team across Europe and the US, we’re united by a single mission: to help every company we work with grow to its highest potential.
As we continue building the world’s leading talent consultancy, we’re looking for people who want to help redefine what “recruitment” can be by transforming it into a true driver of business value and long-term competitive advantage.

The Role

As our sales function scales, we’re looking for a strategic, relationship-first commercial leader who sees talent as a competitive lever and not just a hiring need. You’ll thrive at the intersection of market insight, complex problem-solving, and high-trust partnerships, helping the world’s fastest-growing tech companies reimagine how they build teams for the future. This role is built for someone who can translate Talentful’s value into a compelling, business-outcome narrative that resonates with senior Talent and People leaders.

Naturally curious and externally oriented, this person will build credibility quickly in the market through thoughtful networking, standout in-person meetings, and presence at industry events. This person is charismatic without being salesy, confident without being rigid, and knows how to open doors, shape conversations, and guide senior stakeholders toward partnership.

This is a highly collaborative, high-autonomy role. You’ll partner closely with our VP Sales and Senior/Executive leadership to identify, pursue, and secure new partnerships with some of the most influential tech companies in the world. We’re looking for someone scrappy and proactive who is able to take charge of ambiguous opportunities, move fast, and build momentum in a dynamic environment. If you’re energized by creating strategy and getting your hands dirty to make it real, you’ll feel right at home here.
