Job description

Profound is the fastest-growing AI marketing platform, used by 15% of the Fortune 500 including Comcast, Estée Lauder, and Walmart, and innovators like Ramp, MongoDB, and Figma. It is where marketing teams do the work: research, briefs, content, campaigns, reporting, all in one place, alongside agents that carry the load with them. Built on 2B+ real user prompts and growing, Profound’s data shows you what people ask AI and what the models say back. Profound's AI Marketer joins that data with deep context about our customers to find the opportunities worth acting on, and then puts agents to work: automating reporting, drafting content, auditing pages for readability, running competitive research. It measures what works and gets better every day. As our Recruiter, you will be the flexible engine of our talent team. Where our GTM and Technical recruiters go deep on a single domain, you go wide, owning full-cycle hiring across whatever the business needs most at any given moment, from technical to GTM to G&A, plus the high-priority, first-of-their-kind searches that don't fit neatly into any one box. This is a true generalist role for someone who thrives on variety and wants to plug into the most important open need, whatever it happens to be that week. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Own full-cycle recruiting across any function we prioritize, including engineering, sales, marketing, operations, finance, and the net-new roles that emerge as we grow - Flex between requisitions and reprioritize quickly as company needs shift, partnering with our GTM and Technical recruiters to absorb overflow and take point on net-new or unconventional searches - Stand up sourcing strategies for unfamiliar or first-of-their-kind roles, building the playbook where none exists yet - Partner with founders and hiring managers to define scorecards, interview loops, and tight SLAs for every search you pick up - Craft crisp outreach and a high-touch candidate experience that reflects our mission and pace, from first message to signed offer - Keep the funnel instrumented through ATS hygiene, conversion data, and fast iteration on what's working WHO YOU ARE - A versatile, full-cycle recruiter who has hired across multiple functions and is energized by variety rather than a single specialty - Comfortable with ambiguity: you can pick up an unfamiliar role, get smart fast, and build a sourcing plan from scratch - High-agency and adaptable, able to reprioritize on a dime as the business changes underneath you - A creative sourcer with a real network and the persistence to build one where it doesn't exist - Data- and process-minded, tracking time to fill and source yield and knowing how to unblock bottlenecks - A track record at fast-growing startups, ideally familiar with the NYC ecosystem LOCATION This is an on-site role based in our NYC or SF office, designed for builders who thrive on speed, iteration, and meaningful impact. For this role, the expected base salary range is $160,000 to $215,000 (NYC and SF). Profound's total compensation package is designed to be competitive and includes base salary, equity, and a full range of benefits and perks. Final compensation will depend on factors such as your skills, experience, qualifications, and location, and will be determined during the interview process. Our recruiting team will share more details about the full compensation package and benefits as you move through hiring. #LI-PRO Note: All official communication from Profound will come from a @tryprofound.com email address.
