Job description: ## About Contrario Contrario (YC W25) is building an AI-powered recruiting marketplace that connects elite startup recruiters with fast-growing companies through powerful AI agents. We've raised $2.5M from Y Combinator and Nexus Venture Partners, including angels from Hudson River Trading, Stanford, and OpenAI. We work with 275+ hiring partners including AfterQuery, Wispr Flow, and other category-defining unicorns on their critical roles. ## The Role We're hiring our Account Manager to take over a meaningful slice (50%) of our existing book of accounts, managing both the customers and the top-earning recruiters who serve them. As you ramp, you'll run weekly customer check-ins, reply to support tickets on Slack, and onboard new customers. ## What You'll Do * **Own customer accounts.** Manage a portfolio of customers and their open roles from onboarding through successful hires. Become their main point of contact and execute all internal workflows. * **Manage our best recruiters.** Own relationships with a concentrated group of the highest-performing recruiters on Contrario — people earning meaningful income through the network — and help them consistently make placements. * **Help onboard new customers.** Learn to independently run customer onboardings, understand hiring needs, close straightforward opportunities, and transition new customers directly into account management. * **Keep the marketplace moving.** Chase down stalled searches, unblock recruiters, handle unhappy customers, identify accounts that need attention, and escalate the right things quickly. * **Expand accounts.** Know customers well enough to identify new roles and additional hiring needs naturally. ## About you * Experience in Customer Success, Account management or equivalent at a startup — you're used to moving fast and handling high volume * Grindy and high-agency, with strong written and verbal communication * Comfortable managing a high volume of relationships and inbound requests at once * Background in a talent marketplace, staffing, or recruiting environment is a strong plus, but not required * Community-builder or creator-economy backgrounds are also a great fit * 1-2+ years of relevant experience ## Compensation * **Base salary:** $100k–$130K * **Equity:** 0.1%-0.25%
