Employer job description
From Nevis Wealth's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
What We're About
Nevis is building the AI-native wealth management platform for the largest RIAs in the US. We've scaled to over $300B in assets under management in under 1.5 years, backed by $40M from Sequoia Capital, ICONIQ, and Ribbit. Go-to-market is now the critical lever for the next phase of our growth, and hiring is the bottleneck. We're looking for someone to fix that.
What You'll Do
- Build and own the GTM hiring function at Nevis from the ground up, working directly with our CEO. There is no playbook here — you'll be writing it.
- Own full-cycle recruiting for all commercial roles — sales, deployment strategists, customer success, and other GTM functions — from sourcing through offer and close.
- Partner directly with Mark to define hiring plans and headcount priorities as we scale toward $1T+ in assets under management.
- Build and run a sourcing engine capable of identifying and engaging top commercial talent from enterprise software, financial services, consulting, and high-growth startups.
- Design and continuously improve the GTM interview process — scorecards, structured interviews, and candidate evaluation criteria — in partnership with hiring managers.
- Act as the first impression of Nevis for every commercial candidate: represent the company's mission, culture, and opportunity with precision and credibility.
- Manage the full candidate pipeline in Ashby, keeping data clean and hiring velocity high.
- Build offer strategy and negotiate compensation in partnership with leadership.
- Continuously refine sourcing channels, messaging, and process based on what's converting and what isn't.
- Set the foundation for a scalable GTM recruiting function as headcount grows — this role will define how Nevis hires commercially for years to come.
What We Value
Ownership.
You build from zero without waiting for a playbook to be handed to you.
Speed with rigor.
We move fast, but never at the expense of hiring quality — every GTM hire matters disproportionately at this stage.
Commercial fluency.
You understand what makes a great salesperson or deployment strategist, not just how to run a process.
Low ego, high output.
You'll be doing sourcing, screening, and coordination yourself — this isn't a role with a team under you on day one.
Comfort with ambiguity.
We're inventing GTM motion and the hiring engine behind it simultaneously.
What We're Looking For
- 3+ years of recruiting experience, ideally with direct ownership of GTM, sales, or commercial hiring at a high-growth startup.
- A track record of building recruiting functions or processes from scratch, not just operating inside an existing one.
- Experience recruiting for enterprise sales, deployment/forward-deployed, or customer success roles — you know what good looks like in these profiles.
- Excellent judgment on talent — you can assess commercial acumen, not just resume pattern-matching.
- Strong communication skills; you'll be the face of Nevis to every commercial candidate.
- Comfortable working directly with a CEO/founder with high standards and a fast pace.
- Based in or willing to be based in New York.
- Nice to Have
- Experience recruiting in fintech, wealth management, or financial services.
- Familiarity with Ashby or similar modern ATS platforms.
- Existing network in enterprise software or financial services sales talent.
