We are a stealth startup team with a social impact focus looking for a leader to drive our vision forward.
Imagine your startup has seed money on the table, a team who likes to laugh and get things done, and an amazing tech platform almost ready to scale. Plus, it has direct access to 1/2 million users ready to be wowed. Sound far-fetched? We promise it's not. Even cooler, you have the ability to help families near the poverty line better their lives.
Who are you?
A sharp, scrappy leader with startup experience and boardroom polish. Your background garners respect from HR leaders (our customers). In one way or another, you have been involved in staffing or recruiting and understand the pain points on the candidate side as well as the employer. You are motivated to deliver new technical solutions to the industry.
It's clear this isn't your first startup rodeo -- you are a startup founder or previous key hire who actively mentors other startups, participates in the entrepreneurial and startup scene, sits on advisory councils or boards of fledgling companies, or acts as an entrepreneur in residence.
In a former life you were called a VP of Sales, Director of Business Development, National Account Executive, Partner in a Staffing/Recruiting firm, Marketing Director, or General Manager. You are heavily networked and are respected by your peers. You have professional connections that admire your industry knowledge (startup or HRTech) and seek out your advice on forming strategic partnerships, business development, leadership, and/or SaaS.
Finally, you are passionate about helping under-served Americans living near the poverty line. What’s more, you know how to lead a team with strategic goals to fulfill a mission and a vision.
Who are we?
A seed stage startup spinning out of incubation within a Fortune 500 company. We have resources and momentum. We are seeking top talent to build a two-sided marketplace that has potential to revolutionize the recruiting industry and benefit workers as much as it does employers. We have a significant portion of our product built and have product validation from real paying customers. We value experimentation, creativity and collaboration. We love to turn our ideas into action – celebrating our successes and iterating on our failures. We are located in Chicago - and you will need to live here too.
Your qualifications:
- Comfortable in front of business executives and investors
- Previous experience raising capital and growing companies from Seed through Series A
- Understanding of the HRTech, recruiting, and/or staffing landscape – including technology, KPIs, jargon, and pain points
- Ability to marry company mission with bottom line metrics
- Socially outgoing, optimistic, visionary, creative
- Open to change; unafraid to fail forward
- Bonus: experience with marketplace platforms
Tell us about yourself! Please email: [email protected] We'd like to fill this role by early May, so don't delay!
