Full Time
WHY WE’RE LOOKING FOR YOUWe’ve built an incredible foundational sales team who has brought Retool to thousands of customers. But we’re not done, next year (and the year after that!) we have ambitious goals we’ll achieve only if we can hire best-in-class account executives and supporting sales functions. That’s where you come in. We’re looking for an excellent Sales Recruiter to dive in as we scale our sales team. You’ll have a seat at the table in determining our processes and how we grow and you’ll have incredible partners to work with.
WHAT YOU’LL DORetool is looking for an exceptional Sales Recruiter to help build and scale our go-to-market organization. In this role, you’ll be on the front lines of hiring high-impact sales talent across Account Executives, Account Managers, Sales Engineers, Sales Leadership roles and more. As Retool continues to grow and power mission-critical tools for some of the world’s best teams, you’ll play a key role in shaping the people who drive our revenue and customer success.
You’ll partner closely with Sales and GTM leaders to lead full-cycle recruiting, from sourcing and pipeline strategy through closing candidates. You’ll develop a deep understanding of Retool’s product, customers, and vision, and translate that into a compelling story for candidates. Along the way, you’ll bring best practices to sales hiring, iterate on what’s working, and use data and metrics to guide decisions and surface risks early.
Beyond managing pipelines, you’ll act as a trusted thought partner to hiring managers at varying stages of growth. You’ll help them define roles, calibrate talent, and build teams that can scale effectively—ultimately ensuring the sales organization has the people it needs to execute on Retool’s ambitious goals.
WHO YOU’LL WORK WITHThe Talent team at Retool is small, collaborative, and highly impactful. Recruiting has long been a team sport here, and we’re proud of the recruiting-forward culture we’ve built across the company. You’ll partner closely with recruiters, coordinators, and hiring teams to set goals, deliver a stellar candidate experience, and support ambitious hiring plans.
We’re a diverse bunch with a variety of backgrounds: some of us come from outside tech, others from long careers in it. We’re a slightly sarcastic, dedicated, and hard-working group, who values curiosity, candor, and kindness (matcha and GIFs included). We’re excited to grow our team with people who want to help shape both our culture and how we work.
