About the role
- Paraform is the first end-to-end AI recruiting marketplace, connecting companies with thousands of specialized recruiters and AI agents that work together to fill roles faster and more accurately.
- We hire for companies like Ramp, Decagon, Rippling, and Hightouch, and we 8×'d revenue last year.
- We're an early-stage, fast-moving team combining a network of expert recruiters with agentic AI tooling.
Responsibilities
- Own new business end to end. Pipeline generation, deal execution, and attainment across the AE team, with a high-velocity motion into seed through Series B founders. You carry the number and the forecast.
- Install the social-selling motion. Build the VC-referral loop, the dinner program, and the conference presence our outbound is missing - then make it a repeatable system that runs without you in the room.
- AEs own accounts for 30 days today, which is deliberately high-velocity and, yes, disincentivizes long-tail growth.
- Partner across the business. Work with marketing and engagement management on liquidity, and with product on how our next products go to market - we'll be multi-product within six months.
- Own new business end to end.
- We're hiring a Director to own new business at Paraform - the team, the motion, and the shape of the org that comes after it.
- You'll inherit our A-team of six to eight account executives selling into the fastest-growing startups in the country, and within a couple of quarters you'll be hiring managers underneath you and building a second line.
- Design the org, not just the team.
Requirements
- You can name the first-time managers you promoted, how you de-risked those bets, and what you'd do differently.
- You can name the investors you worked with and the events you built pipeline from.
- You've built a playbook from scratch, run it yourself, and handed it to a team - and you can show the evidence it scaled past you.
- Promote from within where you can and hire externally where you can't.
- You've built pipeline that way yourself, you've taught a team to do it, and you can install it as a system.
Nice to have
- multi-product platforms or fintech selling to startups - Rippling, Ramp, Brex, Mercury, Vanta and similar.
- Ex-investment-banking or consulting before startup sales.
- The structure past the current team is undecided, and the person in this seat decides it.
- A real path to second line and beyond.
- You'll be managing managers by Q2 with the mandate to hire them yourself.
- The VP seat above this is open and nobody is lined up for it.
- Multi-product within six months.
- You'll shape how new products go to market, not just sell what exists.
Compensation
- $60k-$90k
Benefits
- Decide how we segment, where verticalization earns its keep, what the headcount plan looks like, and how coverage changes as we go upmarket.
- The first is that the demand org's structure is genuinely undecided - segmentation, vertical coverage, and the path upmarket are yours to design, not to inherit.
Company info
- We're looking for slope: quick promotions, scope that compounds, and ideally an IC-to-manager promotion inside the same company because it means someone bet on you.
- Our mission is to make hiring fast, reliable, and scalable for every company in the world.
