  • Contribute broadly: this is a role for someone who prides themselves on functional agility and strong business partnership
  • Represent and elevate the AngelList talent brand on the market, including how we’re a beacon and who we attract
  •  

You have:

  • 8+ years of full lifecycle recruiting experience, including some startup experience
  • Ability to thrive and drive consensus and clarity in ambiguous and a fast-moving environments
  • An approach that leads with business outcomes over “activity”
  • Curiosity to leverage AI tools to automate day-to-day workflows and improve the speed and quality of the hiring process
  • Proven track record of success competing for elite talent in a competitive environment, and history of solid relationships in the industry
  • Ability to drive process and influence x-functionally to advance the ball despite any obstacles
