About The Position

Our client, a YC S25 startup building a Financial Services Super Intelligence platform in collaboration with leading frontier AI labs, is hiring a Senior Recruiter to architect and run their expert sourcing engine. In this role, you’ll be the first dedicated recruiter on the team and will directly influence company growth by identifying, engaging, and activating top-tier finance professionals across investment banking, private equity, and hedge funds.

Requirements

2–5 years of experience in recruiting, sourcing, growth, or lead generation
Ideally with hands-on experience sourcing finance talent (IB, PE, HF).
Proven ability to manage multiple sourcing channels simultaneously and run scalable outreach campaigns (not just 1:1 recruiting).

Strong analytical instincts: Comfortable owning your own metrics, pulling data, and making decisions grounded in funnel performance.
Technical sourcing fluency: Able to independently evaluate, select, and operate LinkedIn automation tools, campaign-sending platforms, and other sourcing vendors.
On-site availability: Willing and able to work in-person in San Francisco, CA (5 days/week); relocation support available.

Nice To Haves

Background in finance-focused or finance-adjacent startups.
Strength in marketing-style outreach — writing compelling top-of-funnel copy, designing campaigns, or creating content that converts.

Responsibilities

End-to-end expert acquisition: Drive the full lifecycle of expert engagement — from outbound sourcing and inbound pipeline management to referrals, qualification, and activation.
High-volume, multi-channel campaigns: Launch and iterate on outreach strategies across LinkedIn, alumni networks, MBA programs, university channels, and cold outreach. Experiment aggressively to uncover the highest-performing tactics.
Sourcing infrastructure & tooling: Independently build and refine sourcing systems, automation workflows, campaign tools, and JD testing frameworks with minimal oversight.
Data-driven optimization: Monitor funnel performance, conversion rates, and retention metrics to continuously improve sourcing efficiency and output.
Strategic partnership: Collaborate with Strategic Project Leads to anticipate upcoming client needs and proactively develop sourcing plans tailored to specific domains and seniority levels.
