Talentpluto is building AI-native infrastructure for the future of hiring and professional representation.

We help high-growth startups connect with exceptional candidates by combining recruiting expertise, proprietary technology, and AI-enabled workflows. Recruiting is our first wedge, but the long-term vision is much larger: to build a platform that helps people better represent themselves professionally, discover relevant opportunities, and navigate their careers in an increasingly AI-driven world.

We are an early-stage, fast-growing team based in New York City. We move quickly, operate with high ownership, and are looking for people who want to help build a company from the ground up.

TalentPluto is hiring a Growth & Operations generalist to help scale the candidate side of our business.

This is a highly cross-functional role across growth, operations, product, and customer-facing work. You will help improve how candidates discover TalentPluto, how they move through our experience, and how we continue building a more scalable, technology-enabled hiring platform.

This is not a traditional recruiting role. It is a builder role for someone who wants to work close to the product, close to candidates, and close to the operating system of an early-stage company. You should be excited by ambiguity, motivated by ownership, and energized by the idea of turning messy, manual, high-context work into repeatable systems.

• Help grow and improve the candidate side of TalentPluto’s marketplace.
• Own key candidate-facing workflows and ensure a high-quality experience as volume scales.
• Identify opportunities to improve internal processes, candidate engagement, and overall operational efficiency.
• Work cross-functionally with the team on growth experiments, product feedback, and workflow improvements.
• Support new initiatives across candidate acquisition, marketplace quality, and user experience.
• Help create structure around ambiguous problems by building processes, playbooks, and repeatable systems.
• Communicate with candidates, founders, and internal stakeholders with clarity and strong judgment.
• Operate across multiple priorities in a fast-moving, early-stage environment.

• 1+ years of experience in operations, growth, recruiting, customer-facing work, startup generalist roles, or another high-ownership environment.
• Strong interest in early-stage startups, AI, marketplaces, recruiting technology, or the future of work.
• Excellent communication skills and sound judgment when working with external stakeholders.
• Systems-oriented mindset with the ability to spot patterns, improve workflows, and create structure.
• Comfort using AI tools and curiosity about how technology can improve real-world workflows.
• Strong ownership mentality and ability to execute without a detailed playbook.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment where priorities may evolve quickly.
• Based in New York City and excited to work in person with a small team.
