About the Role
This isn't your typical 9-to-5 job. If you're seeking a relaxed 40-hour workweek, this role isn't for you. We're hiring entry-level Talent Partners: ambitious, driven individuals ready to make things happen. You'll work directly with founders and hiring managers at fast-moving startups.
