Strategic Project Lead, Demand Side

Department: Engineering

Location: San Francisco

Employment Type: FullTime

About the Role

Join the demand-side team at an early-stage AI talent marketplace, where you will build and scale the company acquisition and client success motion. This hands-on role combines strategy with execution and offers a path toward broader general management responsibilities.

What You'll Do

• Own company acquisition from prospecting through onboarding and activation.

• Build trusted relationships with founders, executives, and talent leaders at high-growth companies.

• Understand client hiring needs and translate them into effective searches on the marketplace.

• Generate qualified demand through outbound outreach, referrals, partnerships, events, and content.

• Personally execute cold calls and tailored email and LinkedIn campaigns while testing new messaging and channels.

• Track the demand funnel, identify conversion bottlenecks, and improve performance at each stage.

• Turn successful experiments into repeatable processes and collaborate with talent and product teams to improve matching and client experience.

What We're Looking For

• At least 1 to 2 years of experience in a client-facing, commercial, consulting, operations, or growth role.

• Project management or project lead experience, with the ability to move between designing a go-to-market approach and doing the hands-on work.

• Experience in a fast-paced environment, such as a venture-backed startup, consulting, investment banking, or venture capital.

• Hands-on experience with outbound client acquisition or demand generation, ideally involving founders or senior leaders.

• Excellent written and verbal communication, strong relationship-building skills, and recent in-person work experience.
