<div>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 (Founder, CRED), Cloud Capital <h2 style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">🌟 Why This Opportunity Matters</h2> Recruitment agencies are broken—built on manual spreadsheets, cold spam, and slow turnarounds. Weekday is changing how startups build elite teams. We have built a proprietary recruitment platform capturing 98% of India’s white-collar workforce with AI-native search and outreach capabilities. 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. If you love the high-velocity "hustle" of closing candidates but want modern AI tools, direct access to founders, and uncapped financial upside—this is your platform. <h2 style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">🎯 Candidate Qualification Framework</h2> <h3 style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">Must-Have Criteria (Non-Negotiable)</h3> <ul style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-inline-start: 48px;"> <li style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; margin-left: -6.48pt;"> 2–5 Years of Full-Cycle Sourcing Expertise: Demonstrated track record of owning recruitment mandates end-to-end (from client briefing and passive candidate outreach to offer negotiation and closing). </li> <li style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; margin-left: -6.48pt;"> Consultative DNA: Proven capability to push back on clients/founders, advise on talent availability, and proactively re-strategize target company pools when mandates stall. </li> <li style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; margin-left: -6.48pt;"> Command of Modern Sourcing Avenues: Native fluency with passive sourcing channels (LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, Job Portals) and internal candidate databases. </li> <li style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; margin-left: -6.48pt;"> Founder-Level Communication: Crisp, articulate written and verbal communication.
