Full job description
About Us Conversion is the agentic marketing automation platform for modern enterprises such as Plaid, ClickHouse, Webflow, and Productboard. 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 be one of Converion's Founding Recruiters, and help build the 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.

Qualifications
-
1–4 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally across both technical and business roles
