About the role:

We're looking for an Associate Talent Partner who is passionate about finding exceptional talent, thrives on solving hard hiring challenges, and enjoys building relationships with candidates long before they apply.

You'll partner closely with recruiters and hiring managers to build diverse, high-quality pipelines across our Go-to-Market organization. This role is equal parts strategy, execution, and storytelling—you'll identify outstanding talent, develop creative outbound campaigns, and represent Hightouch with every interaction.

What you’ll do

• Develop targeted sourcing strategies for critical GTM hiring initiatives, with a focus on quality over quantity.
• Identify and engage exceptional candidates through thoughtful, personalized outreach that stands out from generic recruiting messages.
• Build creative sourcing campaigns tailored to specific talent markets, functions, and hiring priorities.
• Partner closely with recruiters and hiring managers to refine search strategies, calibrate candidate profiles, and continuously improve pipeline quality.
• Conduct competitive intelligence research, including market mapping, compensation trends, organizational structures, hiring activity, and competitor analysis to inform recruiting strategy.
• Continuously experiment with new sourcing techniques, AI tools, and talent channels to uncover candidates others aren't finding.
• Develop a deep technical understanding of the MarTech/data landscape for roles such as Solutions Engineering, Customer Success Engineering, Technical Account Management, and other technical GTM functions—including common technologies, customer profiles, career paths, and adjacent backgrounds.
• Build and nurture long-term relationships with prospective candidates, creating talent communities before hiring needs arise.
• Serve as an ambassador for the Hightouch brand by delivering an exceptional candidate experience, regardless of hiring outcome.

What we’re looking for

• 2+ years of experience in a recruiting, sales, marketing, business development, or other customer-facing role where you've built relationships through proactive outreach. Experience sourcing candidates or outbound prospecting is a strong plus.
• A proactive, self-starter who takes ownership, identifies opportunities, and consistently drives work forward with minimal direction.
• Exceptional written communication skills with the ability to craft thoughtful, concise, and personalized outreach that stands out.
• Strong research skills and intellectual curiosity—you enjoy digging into companies, markets, organizational structures, and talent landscapes to uncover exceptional talent.
• The ability to quickly learn technical concepts and develop a deep understanding of technical Go-to-Market roles, particularly Solutions Engineering and other customer-facing technical functions.
• Highly organized, with the ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining a high bar for quality and execution.
• A collaborative teammate who enjoys partnering with recruiters, hiring managers, and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Someone who embodies Hightouch's values—you lead with kindness and compassion, are forever hungry to learn and improve, execute efficiently, focus on creating meaningful impact, and consistently raise the bar for yourself and those around you.

The salary range for this position is $95,000-$125,000 USD per year. We focus on impact and potential for growth more than years of experience. We also offer meaningful equity compensation in the form of ISO options, including early exercise and a generous 10-year post-termination exercise window.

Ideally, this candidate will be located in the San Francisco or New York area, and be able to join us in-office to help build our recruiting culture in these office hubs.
