The job

You'll bring in clients from your own network, make sure every project lands at the price we agreed, and build the engine that finds, vets and places the engineers our clients rely on. Hands-on from day one: in the client meetings, in the numbers and in the details.

What you’ll do

  • Bring in clients: open doors across your network and turn first calls into long relationships.
  • Run delivery, so every project lands on time and at the price we agreed.
  • Build the embedded teams business: sourcing, vetting, placement and monthly reviews.
  • Set up the operating basics: contracts, pricing, invoicing, metrics and the weekly rhythm.
  • Build partnerships with agencies and firms that send work our way.
  • Hire the people who make all of that work.

What you’ll bring

  • Years in consulting or professional services: you've sold, delivered and grown accounts.
  • A strong network across many businesses, and the relationships to open doors.
  • A hands-on operator: you build the process, and you also do the work.
  • Operations experience at a services, staffing or technology company.
  • A head for numbers and a calm voice with clients.
  • The entrepreneurial spirit: you'd rather build a company than join one.

Bonus points

  • You've founded a company, or were early at one
  • Staffing or recruiting operations
  • Finance and pricing
