Paraform is building an AI-powered recruiting marketplace that connects companies with specialized recruiters and AI agents to fill roles faster and more accurately. The company has grown 8x in revenue and is backed by top-tier investors including Scale, Felicis, and founders from YouTube, Instacart, and Canva. You will be the first dedicated enablement leader for Paraform's Delivery team—a rapidly scaling group of Specialized Placement Leaders (SPLs) who own books of business and drive the company's revenue by placing world-class talent at companies like Palantir, Rippling, and Abridge. The team is growing to 25+ SPLs, and you will own how they are onboarded, ramped, and continuously developed. Key responsibilities include: - Design and execute end-to-end onboarding for new SPLs, creating a clear path from day one to first hire and beyond - Build ongoing training programs including live sessions, coaching, playbooks, and certifications focused on core recruiting motions (intake, requirements, submissions, hiring manager management) - Develop vertical-specific training with Vertical Leads so SPLs build domain expertise in markets like AI/ML engineering and go-to-market - Define quality standards for each core motion and drive consistency across the team - Convert tribal knowledge into structured, reusable curriculum and content libraries - Coach SPLs to improve their ability to influence stakeholders and partner effectively with hiring managers - Instrument ramp and training programs with data to measure impact on ramp time, quality, and fill rate, then iterate You bring 4–7 years of relevant experience building enablement or L&D programs, ideally at an early or founding stage where you owned the full scope. You have a background in hiring, recruiting, or HR tech (or can get fluent fast), and you are a builder comfortable starting from a blank page. You coach well, people trust and learn from you, and you are data-minded. Nice-to-haves include experience enabling marketplace, sales, or recruiting organizations; comfort with LMS platforms, call review tools, and analytics; and experience building AI-powered learning systems. This role is based in Paraform's San Francisco office and is in-person, as building this function requires close collaboration with the team.
