Read below to see if you fit the mold to join our rapidly growing company! We're hyper focus on building the right culture, first principled thinking, taking aggressive bets, and delivering years of individual growth within quarters.

We're hiring a Head of Sales for Pearl—which places top 1% talent from around the world into operational roles at startups and incredible orgs. This leader will manage a team of 3 A players driving scalability for our top of funnels and providing a white glove service.

We've bootstrapped our company to millions in revenue and running profitability within our first year. We're now on year three with 10x growth in the last calendar year. Joining Pearl is for the hungry, relentless, extreme owners, and team over everything individuals. We live by our values (below)— if the values do not 100% align with you, do not apply— you will fail here.

At Pearl, we know that although opportunities aren't created equal in the world, ambitious talent is. And it's our mission to give hires from around the world who are sharp and hungry the opportunity to earn far more than they would in their home countries while learning from founders who have raised and made tens of millions to billions.

Our clients are fast-growing startups and phenomenal US based businesses that have raised over $3B in funding from Sequioa, a16z, Founders Fund, Y Combinator, and other top VC firms.

I'm a 3x founder and most recently was investing into deep tech companies as COO of a fund in SF: I grew up in the Philippines myself—which is why I care so much about giving international talent opportunities to work at the best companies in the world) and most recently was investing.

My cofounder is a 3x founder as well. Pearl was born out of a 3 year project solving our own hiring needs for our last businesses. This has given us a unique and differentiated view into how to hire and retain the best talent and then build a business model that fits around the north star goal of hiring. Our competitors build a business product maximizing profit and not client and talent success. For this reason, we're winning big.

This is a completely WFH opportunity, where you'll come in and help us lead and set the direction of our fast-growing BD and Sales team. We'll need someone who can work ET hours.
