We're sorry - this job is no longer available
Platform Venture Studio helps founders from all backgrounds build companies which tackle the world’s biggest problems.

Talent is the most important ingredient for building startups.
As Head of Talent, you'll lead talent acquisition for the Platform team and our portfolio companies. You will need to close hires, but you'll also be responsible for defining and continuously improving how the talent function at Platform works.

- Continuously grow and curate our network of talent, and help develop our bench of potential founders.
- Build and manage relationships with top-performing recruiters and search firms, as needed.
About you:
- 5+ years of experience working in recruiting at a startup, search firm, and/or VC talent organization.
- Deep understanding of the talent acquisition process and ability to select systems and tools, as needed (ATS, etc).
- A keen eye for candidate experience.
- The ability to track and report on key recruiting metrics to drive accountability and continuous improvement.
- A clear understanding and plan for incorporating DEI principles into recruiting.
- A consultative and supportive approach to helping our Founders-in-Residence build great teams - you will need to both give them fish and teach them how to fish
- A competitive salary, commensurate with experience and location
- Benefits - health, vision, dental, 401(k), insurance
- Participation in Platform Cohort SPVs (equivalent to venture fund carry)
- Flexibility to work from anywhere
