Founding Growth & Operations

About TalentPluto

TalentPluto is a YC-backed company creating AI-first infrastructure for the next generation of hiring and professional identity. The team helps fast-growing startups find outstanding talent by pairing recruiting expertise with proprietary software and AI-powered workflows.

Recruiting is the initial focus, but the broader ambition is to build a platform that helps people present themselves more effectively, surface better opportunities, and manage their careers in a world increasingly shaped by AI. The company is early stage, growing quickly, and based in New York City with a strong bias toward ownership and speed.

About the Role

The company is looking for a Growth & Operations generalist to support and scale the candidate side of the marketplace. This role sits at the intersection of growth, operations, product, and customer-facing work, and it will play a key part in improving how candidates discover TalentPluto, move through the experience, and engage with the platform.

This is not a standard recruiting position. It is designed for someone who enjoys building systems, working closely with the product and with candidates, and helping shape the operating model of an early-stage company. The ideal person is comfortable with uncertainty, motivated by responsibility, and energized by turning manual, high-context work into repeatable processes.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to the growth and ongoing improvement of the candidate side of TalentPluto’s marketplace.
• Take ownership of important candidate-facing workflows and maintain a strong experience as activity grows.
• Look for ways to streamline internal operations, strengthen candidate engagement, and improve efficiency.
• Partner with the team on growth tests, product insights, and workflow enhancements.
• Help launch new efforts tied to candidate acquisition, marketplace quality, and user experience.
• Build structure around unclear problems by creating playbooks, processes, and scalable systems.
• Communicate clearly and thoughtfully with candidates, founders, and internal teammates.
• Manage multiple priorities in a dynamic, fast-paced startup environment.

Requirements

• At least 1 year of experience in operations, growth, recruiting, customer-facing roles, startup generalist work, or another setting that requires strong ownership.
• Genuine interest in early-stage startups, AI, marketplaces, recruiting technology, or the future of work.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, along with good judgment when dealing with outside stakeholders.
• A systems-focused approach with an ability to identify patterns, improve workflows, and bring order to complexity.
• Comfort working with AI tools and curiosity about how technology can improve practical workflows.
• A high sense of ownership and the ability to execute without needing a detailed process already in place.
• Ease working in an ambiguous, fast-changing environment where priorities can shift quickly.
• Must be based in New York City and willing to work onsite with a small team.
