Our customers include Anthropic, OpenAI, Vercel, 1Password, Brex, Whatnot, Gusto, and Hims & Hers. We’re backed by leading investors including Slow Ventures, M13, and Twelve Below.

You'll lead full-cycle coach recruiting, from sourcing and interviewing highly experienced executives and operators through selection and hiring, while building AI-powered systems that make recruiting and coach operations more efficient, personalized, and scalable.

• Build the next generation of recruiting and coach operations
• Redesign recruiting and operational workflows to eliminate manual work, improve quality, and increase scalability.

Who You Are

You're a strong recruiter and relationship builder. You've owned full-cycle recruiting and confidently engage, interview, and evaluate highly experienced executives and operators. You build trust quickly and communicate with warmth and professionalism.

You're an AI-powered systems builder. You've designed and implemented AI workflows, automations, or connected tools that meaningfully improve how work gets done. You can point to real solutions you've built and the impact they've made.

You've run programs and operations. You've coordinated people, timelines, and handoffs to deliver a program, a rollout, or a recurring operation, and you've improved how it runs over time.

You've done this in a startup or tech company. You've worked in fast-moving environments where priorities and hiring needs shift quickly, and you've been accountable for the outcome.

You naturally create leverage. You spot inefficiencies, challenge existing processes, and find smarter ways of working. You're curious, resourceful, and energized by experimenting with new technologies and approaches.

You thrive with end-to-end ownership. You're equally comfortable executing the work and improving the systems behind it. You navigate ambiguity, take initiative, and use data to drive meaningful results.

You care about coaching and human development. You're motivated by Mento's mission and want to help build a coach community that creates meaningful growth for our members.
