Talent Partner

Location: Hybrid in New York , or remote from Atlanta, San Francisco.

Goanna Capital invests in the most ambitious technology companies shaping the future of AI, SaaS, cloud, and frontier innovation. Our portfolio includes category-defining leaders such as Anthropic, OpenAI, Ramp, Rippling, and Neuralink.

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 Goanna 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):

• 3+ 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.

Intangibles:

• Results driven  - you set a number and hit it. You measure yourself on outcomes, not activity.
• AI native  - you already build AI into how you work. New tools are the first thing you reach for, not the last.
• Team player  - you'll pick up work outside your lane without being asked, and you treat a teammate's win as your own.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses.
• A culture of trust, collaboration, and innovation.
• Significant room for growth across Goanna’s talent and investment platform.
