Partnerships Lead

About the role

We’re looking for a Partnerships Lead to build Paraform’s VC, accelerator and PE ecosystem channel from the ground up. As Paraform’s first Partnerships Lead, you’ll turn relationships with venture firms, accelerators and private equity sponsors into a steady flow of portfolio companies hiring through Paraform. Hiring is one of the first problems every newly funded company hits, and investors are the people founders ask for help. You’ll make Paraform the platform those investors recommend. You’ll work directly with our founders to turn relationships into programs, programs into deals, and deals into lasting revenue across hundreds of portfolio companies.

Why This Role Is Remarkable: Founding-level impact: You’re the first partnerships hire. You’ll set the strategy, structure and playbook for how Paraform works with the investor ecosystem. A channel with built-in leverage: One strong firm relationship can open dozens of high-growth portfolio companies. Few go-to-market roles have this much reach per deal. Backed by the investors you’ll be selling to: Paraform is backed by Felicis, Scale Venture Partners and A-Star, and we sit at the center of how fast-growing startups hire. Work on a hard, universal problem: Every funded company needs to hire quickly and well. Paraform combines AI with a marketplace of top independent recruiters to fill roles that traditional agencies and in-house teams can’t.

About Paraform: Paraform is the first end-to-end AI recruiting marketplace, modernizing one of the largest and most fragmented markets in the world: hiring. We connect companies with thousands of specialized recruiters and AI agents that work together to fill roles faster and more accurately. We believe recruiting works best when
