Who you are
3–5 years in roles that blend sales, partnerships, or BD with recruitment agency, RPO, or HR tech sales all relevant
- A track record of owning a number and hitting it
- Metrics-driven: Comfortable working to a hard volume target and reporting on pipeline weekly
- Interest in the startup and scaleup ecosystem — you'll be talking to founders and operators every day
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, able to adapt to change and prioritise accordingly
Desirable
- Existing relationships with recruiters, VCs or similar intermediaries
What the job involves
This is an acquisition role. Your job is volume: get as many paid fractional, board advisor, NED/interim director and chairperson roles onto our jobs board as possible, from as many sources as possible. You'll work alongside a counterpart focused on keeping those roles current and getting them filled — your job is the top of the funnel, theirs is everything after a role lands on the platform
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Source roles directly from startups and scaleups already in our CRM that have used Connectd before — this is your warmest, highest-conversion channel and where you should build early momentum
- Monitor and mine external job boards for fractional, board advisor, NED and chair vacancies that could be brought onto Connectd instead
- Build relationships with recruiters, VCs and other intermediaries who regularly place this kind of talent — partners are one of the fastest ways to scale volume once relationships are established, and a channel we expect to matter increasingly as you grow into the role
- Work with onboarding data to identify which new startups joining Connectd have the prerequisites (stage, funding, team gaps) that typically signal a fractional hiring need, and approach them proactively
- Hand off every live role cleanly to your counterpart managing role freshness and fill, with enough detail that it can be marketed and matched properly from day one
