- Exceptional communication and interviewing skills, capable of building rapport with both internal stakeholders and external software industry experts for research purposes.
Why this role is remarkable
- Transition from a founder-led hiring model to owning the entire talent function for a fast-scaling startup that has grown organically to 17 people without external funding.
- Influence product intelligence directly by leading the vendor expert interview program, a dual-impact role that combines traditional recruitment with strategic market research.
- Enjoy full autonomy and remote flexibility while working directly with the founding team to shape the culture and future of a disruptive software procurement platform.
