Talent Partner, GTM

About Us:Modal provides the infrastructure foundation for AI teams. With instant GPU access, sub-second container startups, and native storage, Modal makes it simple to train models, run batch jobs, and serve low-latency inference. We have thousands of customers who rely on us for production AI workloads, including Lovable, Scale AI, Substack, and Suno.

We're a fast-growing team based out of NYC, SF, and Stockholm. We've hit 9-figure ARR and recently raised a Series B at a $1.1B valuation. Our investors include Lux Capital, Redpoint Ventures, Amplify Partners, and Elad Gil.

Working at Modal means joining one of the fastest-growing AI infrastructure organizations at an early stage, with many opportunities to grow within the company. Our team includes creators of popular open-source projects (e.g. Seaborn, Luigi), academic researchers, international olympiad medalists, and experienced engineering and product leaders with decades of experience.

The Role:Modal builds the infrastructure that lets engineers run AI workloads without the usual pain. To do this well, we need exceptional people – and that’s where you come in.

As the first dedicated GTM recruiter on our Talent team, you’ll own sales, GTM, and other G&A searches end-to-end. You’ll work closely with our Head of Talent, founders, and GTM leads to shape how we hire and help bring in the people who will define what Modal becomes.

What you’ll do:

- Drive full-cycle recruiting for key hires across GTM and G&A functions (sourcing, pitching, guiding interviews, and closing candidates)

- Partner with GTM leaders to understand the real work and calibrate on what great looks like

- Help set our hiring bar and how we evaluate talent

- Execute creative top-of-funnel strategies that resonate with a strong community of experienced GTM talent

- Deliver a fast, respectful, honest candidate experience

- Bring an equity lens to every stage of the process

- Use data and market context to keep searches on track and expectations aligned

- Support candidates as a trusted guide through high-stakes decisions

Requirements:- You know GTM recruiting inside and out and enjoy challenging searches

- You’re curious – you ask the right questions and love understanding how things actually work

- You influence with insight and honesty, not by simply having the loudest voice in the room

- You move quickly and communicate clearly, even when things get messy

- You’re a strong closer who builds trust early and stays ahead of concerns

- You’re steady when priorities shift and can recalibrate without losing momentum

- You care about people and want them to have a thoughtful, fair, and human experience throughout the process
