Founding GTM Recruiter

Job description

### What We're About Nevis is building the AI-native wealth management platform for the largest RIAs in the US. We've scaled to over $300B in assets under management in under 1.5 years, backed by $40M from Sequoia Capital, ICONIQ, and Ribbit. Go-to-market is now the critical lever for the next phase of our growth, and hiring is the bottleneck. We're looking for someone to fix that. ### What You'll Do Build and own the GTM hiring function at Nevis from the ground up, working directly with our CEO. There is no playbook here — you'll be writing it. - Own full-cycle recruiting for all commercial roles — sales, deployment strategists, customer success, and other GTM functions — from sourcing through offer and close. - Partner directly with Mark to define hiring plans and headcount priorities as we scale toward $1T+ in assets under management. - Build and run a sourcing engine capable of identifying and engaging top commercial talent from enterprise software, financial services, consulting, and high-growth startups. - Design and continuously improve the GTM interview process — scorecards, structured interviews, and candidate evaluation criteria — in partnership with hiring managers. - Act as the first impression of Nevis for every commercial candidate: represent the company's mission, culture, and opportunity with precision and credibility. - Manage the full candidate pipeline in Ashby, keeping data clean and hiring velocity high. - Build offer strategy and negotiate compensation in partnership with leadership. - Continuously refine sourcing channels, messaging, and process based on what's converting and what isn't. - Set the foundation for a scalable GTM recruiting function as headcount grows — this role will define how Nevis hires commercially for years to come. ### What We Value - **Ownership.** You build from zero without waiting for a playbook to be handed to you. - **Speed with rigor.** We move fast, but never at the expense of hiring quality — every GTM hire matters disproportionately at this stage. - **Commercial fluency.** You understand what makes a great salesperson or deployment strategist, not just how to run a process. - **Low ego, high output.** You'll be doing sourcing, screening, and coordination yourself — this isn't a role with a team under you on day one. - **Comfort with ambiguity.** We're inventing GTM motion and the hiring engine behind it simultaneously. ### What We're Looking For - 3+ years of recruiting experience, ideally with direct ownership of GTM, sales, or commercial hiring at a high-growth startup. - A track record of building recruiting functions or processes from scratch, not just operating inside an existing one. - Experience recruiting for enterprise sales, deployment/forward-deployed, or customer success roles — you know what good looks like in these profiles. - Excellent judgment on talent — you can assess commercial acumen, not just resume pattern-matching. - Strong communication skills; you'll be the face of Nevis to every commercial candidate. - Comfortable working directly with a CEO/founder with high standards and a fast pace. - Based in or willing to be based in New York. ### Nice to Have - Experience recruiting in fintech, wealth management, or financial services. - Familiarity with Ashby or similar modern ATS platforms. - Existing network in enterprise software or financial services sales talent. ### Why Join Nevis - Build a function from zero at a company scaling toward $1T+ in AUM. - Work directly with the CEO and shape how Nevis hires for its most important commercial roles. - Join at a pivotal moment — GTM is the current top company priority. - Competitive salary, equity, and benefits package.
