Founding Go-to-Market

Location: New York, NY

Work model: In-person

Industry: AI / Recruiting Infrastructure

Compensation: $110K-$180K base + performance-based commission + equity

About the Company

TalentPluto is an early-stage company building the infrastructure that connects great operators to the startups that need them. Professionals get an AI agent that learns their real career story and controls how they are discovered by people, companies, and other AI agents. Hiring teams get a matched, evidence-ranked pipeline instead of a resume pile.

We work with fast-moving venture-backed startups across go-to-market and engineering roles. The team is small, technical, and ships daily.

About the Role

We are hiring a founding go-to-market hire to build our commercial engine from the ground up.

The role sits at the intersection of outbound, demand generation, GTM engineering, and full-cycle sales. Early on the focus is pipeline: finding the startups who are hiring right now, reaching the founders and hiring leads who own the decision, and turning that into signed roles.

You will work directly with the founders on strategy and execution. This is a fit for someone who wants to define the motion rather than inherit one.

What You'll Do

• Build and run outbound pipeline experiments across email, LinkedIn, and phone
• Identify startups hiring for the roles we place well, and get to the person who owns the req
• Use modern GTM tooling and AI to source leads, personalize outreach, and improve campaign performance
• Run early sales conversations end to end, from first call through signed engagement
• Turn what works into repeatable systems the next hires can run
• Work directly with the founders on positioning, pricing, and which segments to push

What We're Looking For

• 2-3 years in outbound, demand generation, pipeline generation, or GTM engineering
• Demonstrated ability to build pipeline from nothing in an ambiguous environment
• Comfortable starting in an SDR / GTM-engineering shaped role while still able to carry a sales conversation
• Startup experience strongly preferred, ideally as an early commercial hire
• High agency: you run experiments without waiting to be told which one

Nice to Have

• Experience selling into founders or heads of talent at venture-backed startups
• Background in recruiting, staffing, or talent marketplaces
• Familiarity with modern GTM engineering workflows and outbound tooling
• An SDR who grew into broader GTM ownership, or an AE who still enjoys building pipeline

Why This Role

• Join early, with daily exposure to the founders
• Build the GTM motion rather than inherit one
• Clear path into GTM leadership as the team grows
• Competitive base, upside through variable comp, and meaningful equity
