About HIRA ConnectHIRA Connect is building a more trusted and effective way for people and companies to connect through hiring.

We believe hiring should be driven by more than applications and resumes. It should be built on trust, relevant signals, meaningful referrals and strong professional communities.

Our vision is to build a connected talent ecosystem that brings together employers, candidates and network partners, enabling better hiring outcomes and stronger professional opportunities.

We are building HIRA as a long-term business, with technology serving as the infrastructure behind better human connections.

The opportunityWe are looking for a Founding Chief Growth & Revenue Officer to own the commercial journey of HIRA Connect.

This is not a traditional salaried sales or marketing position.

You will work directly with the founder and take ownership of how HIRA reaches the market, acquires employers, builds partnerships, grows its network and generates sustainable revenue.

You will have the freedom to shape the go-to-market strategy, build the commercial team and establish the revenue engine from the ground up.

You will also participate in the company's long-term ownership through a performance- and vesting-linked equity arrangement.

- Create repeatable channels for employer acquisition and candidate discovery.

5. Leadership & Execution
- Work closely with the founder on business strategy and commercial priorities.

- Recruit and mentor the future sales, marketing and partnerships team.
- Take responsibility for measurable business outcomes rather than just activity.

An important note on compensationHIRA is currently offering this as an equity-led founding opportunity. There is no fixed salary at the initial stage.

Fixed compensation can be revisited against mutually agreed business revenue or funding milestones.

This opportunity is best suited to an entrepreneurial individual who is comfortable sharing the early-stage risk and building long-term value.
