Ivo is a contract intelligence platform that uses AI to review and analyze legal agreements for enterprise customers like Uber, Meta, Canva, IBM, and Shopify. The company recently completed Series B funding and has grown 800% in the past 12 months. You will join Ivo's early-stage Talent team as a Talent Partner, responsible for building recruiting infrastructure from the ground up. This is a foundational role where you'll help define how the Talent function partners with the business as the company scales. Key responsibilities include: sourcing and building high-quality pipeline for technical and go-to-market (GTM) roles, especially when standard channels aren't sufficient; partnering consultatively with hiring managers to assess candidates, explain tradeoffs, and maintain hiring quality; becoming deeply fluent in Ivo's product, engineering organization, GTM motion, and relevant talent markets; assessing candidates with rigorous judgment beyond surface-level impressions; closing candidates in competitive processes by understanding their psychology and motivations; building market presence through industry events and relationship development; and establishing trust in the Talent function through speed, direct communication, and demonstrating recruiting as a business asset. You'll need strong technical recruiting experience with deep understanding of engineering talent and technical functions. Startup experience is required—you must be comfortable operating in an environment where processes are still being built and speed is critical. You should have proven sourcing ability, strong talent judgment, excellent negotiation and closing skills, and a consultative partnership style. Prior experience as an engineer or account executive before moving into recruiting is a plus, as is background in executive search, embedded search, founding recruiter roles, or boutique technical agency work. The ideal candidate has a "do what it takes" attitude, is relentlessly resourceful, operates with internal urgency, moves fast with clear communication, thrives in ambiguity, is direct but constructive, demonstrates unusual tenacity, and is genuinely excited about building the Talent function rather than simply working within an established one. Ivo offers competitive compensation, meaningful equity, relocation and visa support, comprehensive medical/dental/vision benefits, 401(k), and catered lunch.
