[Hiring] Key Account Manager – Talent Advisory & Growth @Weekday

Role Description

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

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.

Qualifications

• End-to-End Pipeline Ownership: Experience managing a multi-stage process from initial discovery/briefing through to negotiation and closure (in talent acquisition, agency recruiting, or consultative sales/account management).
• Consultative Communication: Ability to articulate complex ideas clearly, challenge client assumptions constructively, and guide decision-makers using data and market realities.
• 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.
• Ownership & High Agency: Comfort operating independently, managing your own portfolio, and driving towards clear performance and revenue metrics.

Requirements

• Recruitment Experience: Prior background in agency recruiting, executive search, or in-house talent acquisition across tech or non-tech domains.
• Client-Facing / Founder Exposure: Experience directly managing relationships with founders, CXOs, or hiring managers.
• Modern Tooling Aptitude: Familiarity with modern recruitment platforms, ATS systems, or CRM databases.
• Business & Market Acumen: Understanding of startup ecosystems, business models, and hiring landscapes.

Benefits

• High-Impact Exposure: Work directly with tech founders and executives—build an invaluable network across the Indian and US startup ecosystems.
• Uncapped Upside: A competitive base salary paired with high-volume contingency fee structures, so your earning potential scales directly with your hustle.
• High-Leverage Execution: Use our proprietary database and AI outreach tools to source candidates faster and close roles with significantly less manual overhead.
• Autonomy & Flexibility: Remote-first culture that respects your time, minimizes unnecessary meetings, and focuses strictly on output.
