About the Team

Decagon’s Talent team partners directly with company leadership to shape org design, define what success looks like, and hire the people who will shape our future. We’re Gen AI-native and constantly pushing the boundaries of how Talent teams operate—moving fast, solving hard problems, and building a world-class organization.

Within Talent, our Executive Talent & Strategic Projects function helps build Decagon’s leadership team and develops new tools, programs, and ways of working that make our Talent organization more effective.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Talent, Strategic Projects Associate to build systems from zero to one and take on some of recruiting’s biggest, most ambiguous bets.

You’ll work alongside teammates to understand how they work, uncover problems, and identify practical solutions. From sourcing and candidate engagement to interview coordination and approvals, you’ll define the problem, ship the smallest testable version, and turn what works into a repeatable program with a clear owner before moving to the next challenge.

You’ll also lead team-wide enablement sessions that help teammates put new tools and workflows into practice, and support executive searches through research and talent identification.

In this role, you will

  • Work directly with teammates to understand their workflows, identify friction, and prioritize problems worth solving
  • Build AI tools, automations, and systems from zero to one, testing early versions with the team and improving them based on feedback
  • Own ambiguous projects from problem definition through execution, aligning stakeholders and keeping work moving
  • Turn successful experiments into repeatable programs, with clear documentation, ownership, and handoffs
  • Design and lead team-wide enablement sessions, helping teammates build confidence with new tools and apply them in their daily work
  • Research companies and leadership teams, identify executive talent, and turn findings into clear, actionable briefs

Your background looks something like this

  • 2–5 years of experience in executive search, recruiting operations, consulting, program management, or a similar environment
  • A track record of building tools, systems, or programs from scratch and helping others use them successfully
  • Experience turning loosely defined problems into practical solutions, from an initial test through rollout and handoff
  • Hands-on curiosity about AI and a habit of experimenting with it to solve real problems
  • Strong research, writing, and organizational skills, with dependable follow-through
  • Comfort with ambiguity, openness to feedback, and a desire to take on increasing ownership

Compensation

$120k – $180k + equity

  • Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits for you and your family

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
