About Virio

Virio is building the next-generation B2B GTM stack - an AI-powered content engine that turns executive thought leadership into a pipeline at scale. 

We help the fastest-growing B2B companies go to market through executive-led content that drives revenue, not vanity metrics. Virio is not a content agency. We're backed by investors and operators from LinkedIn, YouTube, HubSpot, Rippling, and Google. We’ve built a repeatable system for turning founder-led content into meetings, pipeline, and brand power.

We are building GTM infrastructure that behaves like a high-output operator, combining strategy, execution, and systems thinking. Having added $1M in ARR within the last 30 days, our recruiting team is moving quickly to hire the talent we need to continue our momentum.

We are now looking for a Founding GTM Recruiter to own recruiting end to end and help build a world-class team.


What You’ll Do

  • Own full-cycle recruiting across Content, GTM, Sales, Marketing, and Operations

  • Partner closely with founders and hiring managers to define role scope and hiring bar

  • Proactively source high-quality candidates through outbound, referrals, LinkedIn, and creative channels

  • Run first-round screens focused on culture, drive, and early-stage fit

  • Design and iterate on hiring processes including interviews, take-homes, and in-person trials

  • Maintain a tight, organized hiring pipeline with clear ownership and follow-through

  • Act as a steward of Virio’s culture throughout the hiring process

  • Build recruiting playbooks, scorecards, and systems that scale

  • Move fast while maintaining a high bar for candidate quality and experience


What Makes You a Great Fit

  • Startup recruiting experience – Experience recruiting for startups or high-growth companies

  • Ambiguous role hiring comfort – Comfortable hiring for senior, undefined, or first-of-their-kind roles

  • Operational rigor & proactivity – Highly organized, proactive, and relentless about follow-through

  • Clear, direct communication – Communicates transparently and effectively with candidates and internal teams

  • Team & culture builder mindset – Strong interest in building teams and shaping company culture

  • High-intensity environment comfort – Comfortable operating in fast-paced, high-expectation environments


Traits That Thrive at Virio

  • High agency & self-direction – Takes initiative and acts without waiting for permission

  • Zero-to-one comfort – Energized by ambiguity and building from scratch

  • Outcome accountability – Takes ownership of hiring velocity and candidate quality

  • Thoughtful, honest communication – Direct and candid in all candidate interactions

  • Low ego & team ownership – Deeply invested in team quality with high ownership and humility


Benefits

  • Competitive total compensation aligned to impact and ownership

  • Meaningful equity upside as part of the founding team, core to the operating philosophy for Virio

  • 100 percent paid medical, dental, and vision insurance

  • 401(k) plan

  • Monthly wellness and meals stipend ($1k)

  • Relocation support for San Francisco

  • Company-wide annual off-sites

  • Direct access to founders and leadership

  • High ownership, high trust, and fast career progression alongside world-class client partners

  • In-person culture with deep collaboration and shared standards


This is a full-time, on-site role based in San Francisco. We do not offer hybrid or remote positions. With best-in-class compensation, Virio operates on a 996–7 cadence and expects high ownership and high output across the team.
