GM of Talent Acquisition

About AirOps

AirOps helps brands get found and stay found in the AI era. As the first end-to-end content engineering platform, we give marketing teams the systems to win visibility across traditional and AI search with one durable advantage: quality.

Thousands of marketers use AirOps to see how their brand shows up across the new discovery landscape, prioritize the highest-impact opportunities, and create accurate, on-brand content that earns citations from AI platforms and trust from humans. We are building the platform and profession that will equip a million marketers to lead the next chapter of marketing, where creativity and intelligent systems work together and quality becomes the strategy that lasts.

AirOps is backed by Greylock, Unusual Ventures, Wing VC, Founder Collective, XFund, Village Global, Alt Capital, and more than a dozen top marketing leaders, with hubs in San Francisco, New York, and Montevideo.

We’re hiring our first GM of Talent Acquisition to build and scale a world-class recruiting engine that looks more like a growth team than a traditional talent function. This role is hybrid by design: you’ll operate first as a builder IC and eventually as a leader of a high-leverage team.

What you'll do:

1. Scaling founder-led hiring into a repeatable motion: Turn our high-velocity founder-owned sourcing into a systemized TA function that works across every role at AirOps.

2. Transforming hiring into revenue: productize our Content Engineer hiring process into a new line of business that helps place content engineers within our customer organizations.

3. Building then scaling a team: Start as a hands-on builder; once you’ve proven the playbook, hire and grow a lean, high-performing team.

4. Designing an AI-powered sourcing engine: Leverage tools like Juicebox, Clay, and next-gen AI sourcing platforms to consistently identify and attract 10x talent.

5. Creating compounding talent density: Build a TA flywheel that doesn’t just fill roles but amplifies our brand, creates buzz in-market, and attracts customers alongside talent.

This is not an ordinary talent acquisition role. It’s part-talent, part-growth, part-product, and part-brand.
