Join a team that puts people at the center of everything.
About us: At TLNT, we believe that recruitment is more than just filling roles — it’s about connecting humans with humans. We’re a people-first organization partnering with top U.S. companies to help them grow by attracting exceptional talent, and we know that the right content can open the right doors.
About our partner: Join a rapidly growing executive advisory and leadership development firm serving CEOs, CHROs, CPOs, executive teams, and private equity-backed organizations. The founder has built a strong reputation through executive coaching, leadership advisory, executive education programs, a successful podcast, newsletter, and thought leadership platform. The business generates meaningful inbound interest and enjoys a high close rate once qualified conversations take place.
About the role: This is first and foremost a business development role.

As the business grows, you'll have the opportunity to expand your responsibilities and become a key contributor to the company's overall growth strategy.
This is an excellent opportunity to grow your career with a leading US-based company—fully remote.
