About the role

What we are building at Conveo

Conveo is the AI research platform enabling fast, affordable, and high-quality consumer and B2B research. Global brands like Unilever, Google, and Orange use our AI video interviewer to generate insights across marketing and product teams.

Why this matters

Traditional research methods are slow, expensive, and superficial. Running great research also requires expertise, which blocks many teams from truly understanding their customers and making better decisions.

The team you will join

You will join a small, high-energy team of passionate people who care deeply about quality. We combine market research expertise, strong engineering talent, and experience building companies from zero to scale.

How we operate

We care deeply about the problem we solve and the people we work with. We go the extra mile, move fast, and have fun doing it.

The Role

As Talent Partner at Conveo, you will build the team that builds the company. You will own recruiting end-to-end while also supporting core people processes that help the team operate at a high bar as we scale.

You will attract, assess, and close exceptional talent across engineering, product, go-to-market, and operations, while partnering closely with founders on hiring strategy, org design, and talent decisions.

This is not a transactional recruiting role. You will shape hiring strategy, candidate experience, long-term talent density, and foundational people practices.

This role is based in London or New York. Hybrid setup.

Your Mission

Own hiring outcomes end-to-end

• Partner closely with founders and hiring managers
• Own roles from kickoff to close, including sourcing and closing
• Maintain speed without sacrificing quality

Build a high signal candidate experience

• Be the main point of contact and advocate for candidates
• Communicate clearly, quickly, and honestly
• Represent Conveo with conviction and taste

Raise the talent bar

• Proactively source top-tier talent
• Develop strong hiring judgment
• Push back when the bar is not met

Support core people operations

• Partner with founders on onboarding, role clarity, and early performance signals
• Help keep people processes simple, high quality, and founder-friendly
• Support a strong employee experience without introducing unnecessary processes

Build scalable hiring and people systems

• Improve interview loops, scorecards, and decision making
• Track funnel health and remove bottlenecks
• Maintain clean hiring and people data in ATS and internal tools
• Build repeatable playbooks and templates

What we are looking for

Non negotiables

• Minimum 4 years of recruiting or high-performance hiring experience across in-house teams, startups, scale-ups, or agencies
• Strong sourcing skills and comfort with outbound recruiting
• Experience partnering closely with founders and senior leaders
• High ownership and ability to run multiple roles and priorities
• Comfort operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments

Mindset

• Truth first, not fluff first
• Opinionated and thoughtful
• High standards, low ego
• Structured, fast, and iterative
• Obsessed with leverage and reuse

Why join us

You will join a team that genuinely enjoys working together and building real relationships. We run quarterly off-sites to reset and have fun. Our next one is a retreat in the Alps this March.

Plus

• Build the team for a hyper-growth, YC-backed AI company
• Work directly with founders and strong operators
• Massive leverage where every hire compounds the company
• Competitive compensation with meaningful equity
• A culture built on taste, speed, ownership, and ambition

About Conveo

Our story so far:

Founded in 2024 as a better way to conduct qualitative interviews, Conveo quickly gained traction after going through the Summer 24 Y Combinator batch where we saw significant interest from Consumer Goods companies. After raising our $5.3m seed round, we executed closely with our customers to build the best qualitative market research platform centered around AI-moderated interviews. Since then we’ve expanded our scope, grown our team, and Today, we're seeing incredibly strong adoption and usage across Insights, marketing, innovation, and strategy teams in industries like: Consumer goods, Retail, Pharma, technology, and consumer services.

Background

  • We help companies understand their customers, giving us virtually unlimited market potential. The market research industry is valued at approximately $100B, with qualitative solutions representing a $30B opportunity. With AI enablement, this market is expanding rapidly. This is an infinite horizon problem.
  • Experienced team. Our head of research was the founder of a market research company with 600+ employees, our CEO previously co-founded a $75m ARR startup as CTO. Our commercial and operational teams bring their operational excellence from McKinsey, while our sales leadership includes former VPs from Ipsos.
  • We believe in forging deep collaborations with our customers. In just 15 months, we've landed deals with some of the world's largest companies that are quickly expanding their work with us, including Unilever, P&G, AB InBev, Nestlé, Google and many others. We are seeing many brands switch to us from our competitors. We’re a growing team passionate about solving real-world challenges in customer research, enabling companies to make user-informed decisions. We're looking for driven senior engineers who love working on complex systems, care about solving problems for users, and are excited to shape the future of AI-driven customer insights.
