This is an internal role at Weekday. Not a role by a client.

Location: Remote (India)

Compensation: ₹6,000,000 – ₹1,500,000 CTC + Performance Incentives

Funding & Backing: Y Combinator (S21), General Catalyst, Kunal Shah ( CRED), Cloud Capital

? Why This Prospect Matters

Recruitment is shifting from manual searching to tech-enabled talent advisory. At Weekday, we combine an AI-native sourcing engine—covering 98% of India’s white-collar workforce—with high-touch account management to help venture-backed startups build elite teams.

We are already profitable, growing rapidly across India and the US, and pairing YC-backed founders directly with top talent.

As a Key Account Manager, you won't be pushing paper or managing bloated recruiter headcount. You will step into the arena as a trusted talent advisor to high-growth startup founders, using AI-driven tools to close mission-critical roles. Whether your background is in agency recruitment, corporate talent acquisition, SaaS account management, or client success,



if you have strong consultative instincts and love closing deals, this role gives you the platform and tech stack to scale your impact.

Problem-Solving & Adaptability: Proven ability to troubleshoot stalled processes, pivot strategies when initial approaches don't yield results, and navigate ambiguity in fast-moving environments.
