Job Title: Account Manager at Talent Tech Startup

Location: Remote (PST, CST or EST time zone)

Compensation: $80,000 OTE

Are you passionate about connecting great people with good work? Are you a leader who has a background in sales, account management or consulting? If you love technology and want to help mission-driven startups make a positive impact on the world - this unique role may be the perfect fit for you.

About us: At Avra, we're on a mission to help great people find meaningful work, at companies that are making a positive impact in our world. By connecting the two, we play a role in accelerating mission-driven startups' success, which benefits the lives of their customers and workforce.

Why this role exists: In the last 4-years, we’ve gone from nothing to a profitable and growing agency where fast-growing startups come when they need to add bandwidth to their recruiting function. But our vision is much, much bigger.

In this role, you’ll spend part of your time leading a team of talent professionals, made up of the ‘five disciplines of hiring’, as they parachute into a company to help them scale their hiring. You will also spend some of your week working alongside the CEO and leadership team as we build the Avra network, a place for the best talent professionals in the world to connect, find jobs and collaborate on the future of work.

• You have at least 7 years of progressive professional experience
• You’ve led teams and managed projects
• You are very comfortable hiring for tech roles
• You’ve worked at, or with, startups

Skills:

• Proficient in Google Workspace
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Qualities:

• You are entrepreneurial at heart
• You are a direct, but warm conversationalist with the ability to probe without being offensive and the ability to read between the lines

• You thrive in a remote work environment. Fully remote work is not for everyone; it requires the ability to quickly pick up online tools, familiarity with our tech stack (G-Drive, Slack, Notion, Airtable, and a variety of modern ATS’), and the ability to communicate (and often over-communicate) well in writing.

• Add to our systems and processes to improve on ‘the Avra way’ which will be apparent by reduced time spent on repetitive tasks, reduced friction, improved margins, or profit per account
• Constantly keep an eye out for ways to improve our client-facing experience as well as how the DRT operates through automation, innovation, or delegation
