About this role

About Us

Conversion is the AI-native marketing automation platform for modern software companies. Our platform lets growth teams run their entire go-to-market motion in one place, from acquisition through retention, with AI agents doing the work that legacy tools like Marketo, HubSpot, and Pardot can't.

We've raised $28M+ from Abstract Ventures, True Ventures, and HOF Capital. The team is based in San Francisco and includes engineers, designers, and operators from Airbnb, Palantir, Pinterest, IMC, Shopify, LinkedIn, and Microsoft.

About the Role

You'll build and own Conversion's recruiting function from the ground up. That means partnering directly with founders and hiring managers to bring in exceptional people across technical and business roles. Furthermore, it includes helping shape the systems, culture, and candidate experience that will define how we grow.

This role is in-person 5 days/week in San Francisco.

  • Own full-cycle recruiting across both technical and business roles. This includes sourcing, screening, coordinating, and closing

  • Partner with hiring managers to build effective hiring strategies and keep processes moving with clarity and speed

  • Deliver a thoughtful candidate experience from first outreach through offer

  • Iterate on the recruiting infrastructure: pipelines, documentation, ATS hygiene, and interview processes

  • Use data and market insights to advise on compensation, pacing, and where to focus sourcing efforts

Qualifications

  • 3–5 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally across both technical and business roles

  • Bonus points: experience at a high-growth startup/building a recruiting playbook

  • Familiarity with modern recruiting tools (For e.g. Ashby, LinkedIn Recruiter, Juicebox, Harmonic) to build and activate candidate pipelines

  • Experience working with recruiting agencies and calibrating them on ideal hires

  • Strong communicator who can earn trust quickly with candidates and also filter talent
