The job, in the employer's words
About Strella
Strella is reimagining market research with AI. Our platform conducts in-depth, AI-moderated interviews and transforms customer conversations into actionable insights in a fraction of the time of traditional research.
We’re building a new model for market research that combines the speed and scale of AI with the strategic expertise of world-class researchers. Our mission is to make high-quality customer understanding faster, more accessible, and more impactful for every business.
We're growing our go-to-market team fast. We're hiring a Customer Success Lead, a Business Development Representative and a Product Marketing Manager now, and more roles will follow. We're looking for our first Internal Recruiter to own hiring end to end. You'll build the recruiting engine and help shape the team that takes Strella to market.
Company Highlights

Enterprise Traction: Trusted by leading brands including J.Crew, Chobani, DraftKings, and to uncover customer insights and inform critical business decisions.
Strong Investor Backing: Raised capital from Bessemer Venture Partners to accelerate our mission of transforming the market research industry.
Massive Market Opportunity: We’re bringing AI-native technology to a $100B+ global insights industry, replacing slow, expensive research processes with a faster, more scalable approach.
Building the Future of Research: We’re expanding beyond software into a new model of full-service insights, combining AI-powered research with expert-led strategy. You’ll be among the earliest hires helping shape this offering.

Work with hiring managers to define each role, its scorecard and its interview plan before the first candidate is sourced.

Source most of your pipeline through outbound: LinkedIn Recruiter, Clay and sequencing tools, referrals and your own network.
Keep a warm bench of talent so we can move fast when the next role opens.
Evaluate candidates on substance, including quota attainment, deal size, sales motion and retention outcomes.

Build our hiring process from scratch: structured interviews, scorecards, take-home exercises, debriefs and offer approvals.

Make every candidate's experience fast, organized and personal, so our process becomes a selling point.
Partner With Leadership
Work directly with our founders and GTM leaders on headcount planning, leveling and compensation.
Advise hiring managers on market conditions, candidate expectations and how to win competitive offers.
Help define how Strella recruits as we grow, including employer brand, referral programs and eventually technical hiring.
