GTM Talent Partner - Series B Saas Start-Up - NYC

Hawkwood are excited to be partnering with an innovative Series B SaaS company that is building CRM for the next generation of companies.

The company has raised over $100 million to date, with ARR on track to grow fourfold and the US business entering an important stage of expansion, there is a lot to build.

They are looking for a GTM Talent Partner to help shape that next phase. This could suit someone already working in-house or an agency recruiter who wants to bring a strong GTM search background into a scaling technology company. Our client values commitment to recruitment as a craft, an interest in building from an early stage, and the ambition to become an excellent strategic Talent Partner.

This is a hands‑on role within a small talent team, with plenty of opportunity to influence how the function develops. The company has a high hiring bar and approaches recruitment with the care and rigor of executive search, even when hiring below executive level. Searches are built around thoughtful market mapping, close calibration, proactive outreach and long‑term relationship building.

About the opportunity:

• Own full-cycle hiring across Sales, Customer Success, Marketing and other GTM teams
• Build deep, long-term networks of exceptional commercial talent across the US
• Work closely with senior leaders to understand their teams, shape briefs and challenge thinking where needed
• Help build the processes, tools and foundations of a talent function that is still taking shape
• Join at a point where the US team, customer base and employer brand are all growing quickly
• Stay close to sourcing and candidate engagement while developing into a broader strategic partner
• Hybrid working pattern in Manhattan

About you:

• Minimum 3 years' experience recruiting GTM talent, either at a scaling tech business or within an agency or search firm
• Start-up/scale-up experience strongly preferred
• You are comfortable working without a finished playbook and like creating structure where it is useful
• You can combine detailed research and sourcing with strong judgement and an engaging approach to candidates
• You are curious, resilient and happy doing the hands‑on work needed to reach people who are not actively applying
• You can build trust with ambitious hiring managers while remaining pragmatic, collaborative and low ego
• You are excited by high standards and want to grow alongside a talented, fast-moving team

For an agency recruiter, this is a chance to take the best parts of search in‑house: building a market over time, advising one leadership team closely, and seeing the longer‑term impact of every hire. For an in‑house Talent Partner, it offers the freedom to help build a function from 0–1, rather than stepping into something already fully established.
